Caleb Hearn’s latest single “Get There When I Get There” offers retrospective insight into choosing to live for yourself in the moment rather than living for the future. When you are young, it’s easy for everybody around you to worry about your future. Each passing year and milestone is just another year closer to when you’re supposed to “have it all figured out”. Instead of letting you value each moment in the present, you’re expected to think about an unspecified future date. After years of prioritizing preparing for what’s to come, you have slowly begun to live for each day. Each second passes and never returns so it’s only natural to want to experience them rather than knowingly ignoring. You want to have lasting and simple conversations that don’t lead to extravagant future opportunities. You’ve learned that if you think about what hasn’t even happened yet, you may lose things that already matter to you. There is no need to worry about every detail of the future when there is intrinsic value in everyday present moments.
“Get There When I Get There” is a folk pop experience that relies on simple beauty to express itself. We begin with relaxing guitar strums paired with Hearn’s sweet vocal performance. The guitar starts and remains as light and airy and is intertwined with each sung note. The first deviation from this instrumental and vocal pairing is the chorus where simple piano chords are introduced. Each chord feels like a welcome gift that is short yet effective at pulling us in even more. As the following verse begins, the piano remains but with small glimpses of ascending and descending arpeggios. Throughout this piece, echoing reverb makes an ethereal experience at the end of each refrain. Each element, though simple on its own, intertwines together to form a traditional folk pop musical tale.
