The Australian country-indie-folk duo released “Great Aunt” in 2025. There is something about this song that feels so personal that it tugs gently on the heart strings. The warmth of the acoustic guitars blends well with the cello, evoking more emotions out of the listener. The vocals rest on top of the track, cradled by the folky instrumentation’s warmth. It feels like the duo is in the room with you.
The song is a great song for reflecting, and listening to it now feels like it’s in perfect timing as many spend the last part of the year and early part of the year in deep reflection. What will we do to make this year even better than the last year? What can we leave in 2025? Let’s let go of the worries that no longer serve us.
The lyrics ask important questions and serve gentle reminders. “I wonder when I die, did I meet my goal weight? Or die trying to please, and laying to waste.” The song calls on us to reflect on what truly matters in life and what doesn’t. It calls on us to not waste time but to enjoy our time.
“Nobody’s gonna remember, the little things.”
