The Chapin Sisters | “All Through The Night” | About
The Chapin Sisters returned in early 2023 by taking us to “Bergen Street” — “There is something magical going on in this song that’s impossible not to be moved by,” says Folk Radio UK — an ode to the borough Abigail and Lily left behind.
With the upcoming “All Through The Night” (Aug. 18 via Lake Bottom Records), the duo’s second single back on the scene, we learn more about why Abigail and Lily (and their growing families) moved to a more rural life outside the city.
“I originally wrote ‘All Through The Night’ as a lullaby when my oldest kid was a baby,” Abigail says of the song.
“I wrote it as an intimate ditty for my kids, but once we added Rusty Santos’ (producer of Animal Collective’s landmark Sung Tongs, along with credits including Panda Bear and Owen Pallett) and Noah Kittinger’s (the musician best known for his viral sensations under the name Bedroom) contributions, it became more of an anthem than a lullaby.”
Even in its original form as that private little lullaby, there was evidence that “All Through The Night” had the makings of the anthem it has become.
“We would make up the verses until some of them stuck,” Abigail remembers of nights singing it to her daughter. “She would start mimicking me and singing along, which completely defeated the purpose of trying to get her to sleep.”
Listen to the finished track and it’s easy to understand the problem. If there is such a thing as a sing-along lullaby, this is it. Anticipating the captivating chorus demands playing on repeat.
“I never really thought of ‘All Through The Night’ as material for The Chapin Sisters,” Abigail admits. “I never even wrote it down over the years. It would just run through my mind. But, when you remember the lyrics and tune of a song that’s never written down, then there is something there.”
Now it is running through our minds, too.
“All Through The Night,” the latest single (and first lullaby) by The Chapin Sisters arrives August 18, 2023 via Lake Bottom Records.
