Holworks Music plus three Ai vocal stems = Song - One Day Closer To Fall

"You know that week in August in Fayetteville when it's still 95 degrees, but something changes?
I was up early on the porch before the heat set in — sun coming through the pines a little lower than the week before. Cicadas still going strong, but there was one cool breath underneath it all. For the first time all summer, a hot coffee actually felt right.
I thought, "We're one day closer to fall."
And it hit me — just like the seasons, we change too. We don't flip a switch, we turn slow. One day closer to cooler nights, to bonfires, to that clear October air that makes everything feel possible again. One day closer to letting go of what summer had to burn out of us.
I wrote this right there in that hour. It's not sad summer's ending — it's grateful fall's on the way. That in-between we all live in.
From my porch in Fayetteville to yours — if you're feeling that shift too, this one's for you."

One Day Closer to Fall
Gold light fading on a Friday night
Sun’s dipping early, dropping out of sight
I see the shadows stretching down the mountain line
Counting every second of this summer time
But there’s a cold wind whispering a brand new code
Rattling the signs along the Blue Ridge Road
Yeah, the heatwaves are burning out
I know exactly what I’m dreaming about
Give me that sweater weather, mist on the peak!
That midnight magic that we all come to seek!
Yeah, my heart is racing for that crisp mountain air
So pack up the truck, baby, take me there
Let the green fade to gold, let the autumn leaves fall
'Cause we are one day closer to Fall!
Yeah, one day closer to Fall!
Trading in the sunburn for a morning frost
Chasing down the memories that we almost lost
Down in the valley where the chimney smoke clears
This is the feeling that I want all year
We’re building Holworks, making our own lane
But man, I’m ready for that October rain
Yeah, the long days are burning out
I know exactly what I’m dreaming about
Give me that sweater weather, mist on the peak!
That midnight magic that we all come to seek!
Yeah, my heart is racing for that crisp mountain air
So pack up the truck, baby, take me there
Let the green fade to gold, let the autumn leaves fall
'Cause we are one day closer to Fall!
Yeah, one day closer to Fall!
It’s a slow-burning beauty under Carolina skies
You can see the dynamic shift in everyone’s eyes
From the coast to the summit, we’re answering the call
Yeah, we’re waiting, we’re waiting...
Give me that sweater weather, mist on the peak!
That midnight magic that we all come to seek!
Yeah, my heart is racing for that crisp mountain air
So pack up the truck, baby, take me on there
Let the green fade to gold, let the autumn leaves fall
'Cause we are one day closer to Fall!
Yeah, one day closer to Fall!
One day closer now.
Yeah, we’re almost there.
Bring on the frost.
One day closer to Fall.
