Allyson Whitmell’s “Crack in my Window” is a beautiful farewell wrapped in strings
Allyson Whitmell’s new single, “Crack in My Window,” beautifully captures feelings of nostalgia, loss, and appreciation for what we once had. The song centers around the idea that even a small, broken window can hold significant memories of a home we loved. Whitmell skillfully turns this universal feeling into a moving piece of music, combining her lovely piano playing with a heartfelt string section featuring Jono Hill, known for his work on “Bridgerton.”
The finished song is warm, gentle, and filled with a sense of longing. Ben Pelchat’s production helps take “Crack in My Window” to a whole new level, adding layers that create a dreamy atmosphere. The music feels light and immaterial, blending the past with the present and capturing the struggle between holding on to memories and learning to let go.
Whitmell invites us to share in a moment where time feels different. A simple crack in the glass becomes a window to memories we can’t relive, yet they remain unforgettable. Touching, engaging, and deeply beautiful, “Crack in My Window” is a remarkable example of how storytelling can shine through music, leaving a lasting impression.
