Steph Morin Shares His Mature & Nostalgic Single, “Older”
Montreal, QC-based artist Steph Morin has unveiled his new single, “Older.” The single is a mature and nostalgic tune that de-dramatizes the fact of aging. As he gets closer to 40 years old, it is with a little more gray in the beard that he brings an optimistic reflection about time passing quickly. He depicts age as an enriching experience, as he wrote in the line, “They say they measure a man by the lines on his face.”
The new single is enriched with more pronounced mandolin and banjo sounds, electric guitars are always there, and the chorus is worthy of the powerful American new-country hooks. As he’s been surrounded by his good friends and co-producers Martin Gauthier and Marc-André Binette for several years now, we can easily feel the team chemistry in the music and the time invested in that project that will lead to an album release in a few months.
Review
With a strong, exciting intro, “Older” caught my attention immediately.
Once Steph’s vocals join the track, the song just gets better. The lyrics are relatable and, at the same time, fun and upbeat. “Time flies, 36, And yesterday you were 18, Don’t lose time, Catch your dreams, Are you half the man, That you wanted to be,” and “You’re just a little older, You grew up, They say you measure a man, By the lines on his face, You got the same heart, You’re the same kid, That you used to be, Back in the days,” are the kind of lyrics that you can’t help but sing along with.
Being 37, I felt many of these lyrics were all too true, and I’m sure many listeners will agree. For me, the standout was, “You got the guts, You got the freedom, Still got the fire inside, yeah!” Don’t worry about your age. If you want to do something, do it! You’re older but also wiser and more experienced!
The beat doesn’t stop through the song and leaves you hyped up and ready to live your life, even though you’re a little “Older.”
