On A Day Like That marks the first chapter of Owen Young’s pandemic project. Written in a strange time where isolation meets the rare occasion of break and pause, On A Day Like That takes a deep breath in, spilling wisdom and over-looked feelings, putting things into perspective. A humble but keen-spirited fingerstyle guitar draws you into a moment of contemplation as Young’s raw and honest vocal captures these fleeing, yet keenest thoughts, often overlooked in our busy daily life.

Nothing is too grand in On A Day Like That. With a collage of fleeing moments in life, the album pulls your heartstrings, articulating these intimate and honest feelings that rose to occasions. Looking back into the better past and gazing into a better future, the title track “On A Day Like That” draws back the early days of the pandemic.

Young’s music naturally evokes openness and grandness—he’s on his porch, singing what’s on his mind as his eyes rest on the passing world. Introspective and evocative at the same time running parallel to what you’re going through, like the river that flows by your side on a lonely long-distance trip on a highway. His music gives you comfort and warmth during the most lonesome moments.
