Andrew Stonehome's latest release, Then You Fly, is a deeply personal and transformative EP that explores the emotional journey of shedding protective walls and embracing vulnerability. With themes of reconnecting to one's inner child and facing the fears that often hold us back from being our authentic selves, the EP captures the delicate balance between vulnerability and growth. Through introspective lyrics and evocative melodies, Stonehome invites listeners into a space of raw honesty and emotional release, reflecting his own path toward becoming more true to who he is.
The title track, “Then You Fly,” is a standout moment on the EP, featuring a soaring chorus and culminating in a powerful, gospel-inspired ending that’s both uplifting and cathartic. This song serves as a sonic metaphor for trying to break through the walls that we build in order to protect ourselves, offering both a celebration of self-liberation and an acknowledgment of the struggles it takes to reach that point.
Also included on the EP is a stripped-back, acoustic version of "Then You Fly." This version highlights the song’s poignant vulnerability, with delicate string arrangements by Pablo Hopenhayn and eSession Strings, drawing out the innocent purity of the song that speaks directly to the heart.
The EP also features a beautifully crafted cover of Paul Simon’s “Only Living Boy in New York.” Andrew’s rendition honors the original while infusing it with his own sense of melancholy, introspection and joyful release. The cover adds another layer to the themes of solitude, inner conflict, and the search for connection that runs throughout the project.
As a multi-instrumentalist with a background in recording production, Andrew Stonehome wrote, performed, recorded, mixed, and mastered every aspect of the EP. The process was not just about creating music—it was a way for him to explore the themes of self-acceptance and emotional honesty that run through the project. With Then You Fly, Stonehome takes a bold step forward in his artistic journey, delivering a body of work that feels like a deeply personal invitation for others to join him on a path toward growth and healing.
In this EP, Andrew Stonehome offers not only a glimpse into his own personal evolution but also a universal message about the courage it takes to face our fears and fly free.
