In Their Words: “I think a marriage or any long-term committed relationship can start to feel like a fever dream, especially when you’re young and have little kids. If you and your partner are struggling, add in sleepless nights and exhaustion, you are just surviving for a while, in the trenches, coping. ‘Coffee and Wine’ is about pulling back from those situations, maybe after years, to take stock of what the state of your partnership really is. So many people I know, including myself, have been through a divorce. It’s heartbreaking to see how you both have been coping with everything as best you can, with whatever crutches you might have used, and you finally just realize that it’s not going to work. This song is about that moment of realization, coming up for air in the midst of things, and processing the grief and loss of what you hoped for in a marriage and facing the truth that it’s over.” — MacKenzie Grant
