“Take A Breather” emits a soulful folk captivation, marking a certain success from The January Lanterns, the project of husband-wife duo Andrew and Kristen Camp. Their gorgeous vocals combine throughout, as the lead chronicles a personal journey — “I drive 2000 miles in less than two days,” — and concluding with “on second thought, let’s just stay home and take a breather.”
References to waters and creeks “keep flowing,” reflect the natural passage of time and progression, ascending with lovely vocal convergence at the two-minute turn. “Take A Breather” is a relatable, melodic charmer from the project, who describe the track as about “the yearning to break free from the mundane, contemplating grand escapades only to find solace in the simple joys of home.”
