Michael Day’s musical storytelling takes an intriguingly magical turn with his latest single ‘Nan and Pop’s House’, transporting listeners deep into nostalgia’s warm embrace with every chord’s vibrating memory of treasured times spent at grandparents’ houses.

He uses velvety vocals to unravel his childhood experiences as the song creates dreamy harmonies, rhythmic drum beats, layers of guitars and brass instruments to recreate an experience-rich folk anthem called Nan and Pop’s House that pays homage to innocence while growing up, reflecting his connection with his grandparents and their significance for him personally.

Folk-inspired acoustic guitar and reflective electric guitar set the scene for this nostalgic journey back through time, while trumpet serenades melancholic notes to recall simpler joys when life felt safer. Heartfelt lyrics ask “where do we now find our comfort?” as Day confronts distant past memories as well as childhood warmth that remain.

At its heart lies Day’s Nana and their love-filled relationship. Its lyrics paint vivid pictures of MGM film premieres and comforting hugs from his grandparent’s arms as sanctuary from life’s harsh realities. However, when Day learns that both grandparents passed away just days apart in 2023 he brings emotional depth and heartbreak that cannot be overlooked into this song’s meaning and delivery.

“I’ve never met anyone like my Nana” Michael reflects. This track serves as a moving ode to her remarkable resilience through life’s challenges, and inspiring him with selfless love and caring. Nan and Pop’s House captures that essence beautifully.

Built with precision and passion, the song features an outstanding ensemble of musicians: Ben Humphreys on electric guitar; Ryan Svendsen on trumpet; Rhyan Lyndon-James (bass and Bvs); Dave Rajendram on drums. Andy Lawson at Debaser Studio and Will from King Willy Studios contributed their expertise during recording and mastering processes; additionally Robyn Paints added beautiful artwork from Day’s grandparent’s property as an extra sentimental layer.
