In Their Words: “About six months into the pandemic I began to feel like I hadn’t felt in a long time. There was this sense of being stuck, physically and mentally. Pre-COVID, I was living a life that I had worked for years to create, busy playing music all over the place and doing what I love. It felt like all of a sudden that life was erased and I was feeling those teenage feelings again. I had to remind myself that I had put all this hard work in and that nothing was going to stop me. I wrote ‘Can’t Stop Me Now’ to tell myself and others to not give up.” — Carter Sampson

Song: “Peaches”
Album: Lucky
Release Date: October 26, 2018
Label: Horton Records

In Their Words: “I have a beautiful artist friend in Lyons, Colorado, who created a magical space in her backyard; it is one of my favorite places to sit and write. ‘Peaches’ was written there because that yard in Colorado makes me feel safe and comfortable like I did when I was little and in my grandmother’s arms. I was close to her and always think about the things I would trade to get to hang out with her again. This song is an ode to my ancestors and to a time in my life when I didn’t have a worry in the world.” –Carter Sampson
