About the Song:Singer/songwriter Noah Kahan was born in 1997 in Strattford, Vermont. When his song “Stick Season” was released in 2022, it caught everyone by surprise, becoming a top-10 hit in the United States and a #1 song in the UK. He wasn’t a brand new singer. He’d released two albums previously – Busyhead in 2019 and I Was/I Am in 2021. Despite multiple singles, he’d never reached the pop charts in the U.S. or UK. As the lead single from his third album of the same name, “Stick Season” started slowly but went viral on TikTok after singer Olivia Rodrigo covered the song on BBC Radio 1. WK It propelled Kahan to #1 in the UK, Australia, Belgium, Ireland, and the Netherlands. It went top 10 in the U.S., Canada, and New Zealand. Kahan first performed the song on a live stream on his Instagram feed in 2020. He wrote another verse for the song in 2022 and uploaded it to TikTok. When it became successful, it prompted him to finish the song. It still took him awhile, partly because of his doubts that a song written specifically about his home state of Vermont would appeal to people who lived elsewhere. WK The term “stick season” refers to the time in autumn in New England when the leaves have fallen but snow has yet to come. SF Without their leaves, the trees appear “stick-like” and “the landscape can seem baren and desolate.” SF Kahan said it is “a time of transition” that is “super depressing” because it “means that winter is coming soon and it creates a lot of anxiety.” WK Kahan used it as a metaphor for a broken relationship and how it left “him feeling like the world around him is now bleak and barren.” SF Resources:Related Links:
