Dread Everlasting by Paper People Chain, the collaborative project of Samuel Tucker Young and Anna Luther, is a song that instantly captivates with its raw, lo-fi intimacy. Featuring only an acoustic guitar and hauntingly authentic vocals, it feels as if the performance is happening live, right there in the room with you. The song dives deep into themes of anxiety, dread, and grief, capturing the unsettling feeling of spiraling into fears about the future and questioning the path you’re on.
Samuel Tucker Young opens the track with a stunning verse, delivering powerful lines like, “They say you don’t know if you’re doing better unless you stop and take a breath, but when I think about my favorite artists, at my age, they all chose death.”
Anna Luther follows with an emotional verse and a beautifully rendered chorus, adding even more depth and vulnerability to the track. The entire song unfolds like an honest, unfiltered ramble, making it incredibly relatable. Between the honest songwriting, striking lyrics, and captivating melodies, Dread Everlasting stands out as an achingly real and unforgettable song.
Truthfully, years ago we both started little “lyric” books in our note apps, and “Dread Everlasting” is just an algamation of a years worth of stories and thoughts back to back. Life comes. Things are great. Things are terrible. All we can do is write it down, ride the wave, and sing about it. There’s an authenticity that comes from each moment, and we love to share each thought as is. – Paper People Chain
