“Now I’m a mother of three”: I have three kids! And my partner delivers babies and works a lot. Our life is action-packed with our kids. We are always flying by the seat of our pants. Is this written from a female perspective or am I the actual mother? Maybe both. a lot. I feel like it has a classic soul feel. The chorus is simply “Don’t you stray,” which I like the idea of it being both a request and a question. Is the singer pleading with their partner not to stray or asking their partner if they ever stray? I like the ambiguity there.
I was totally weeping over the loss. I walked in to Ethan’s studio and told him about it. He told me that he had gone through a similar experience. We wrote all the lyrics and music together to “Another Name” that afternoon. It was the most tender moment between two men that were basically strangers. I am really grateful for to have this song as an expression of that moment.This song is looking back on my relationship.
