Philadelphia, PA singer, songwriter & fingerstyle guitarist Kristin Daelyn's Orindal debut, Beyond the Break, is out February 28! Today, Kristin shares Beyond the Break’s closing track, “It Came to Me Then”. Kristin also shares some thoughts on the song:
"'It Came to Me Then' is a song about the cyclical nature of renewal—the way life continually invites us to begin again. I started writing it while walking a looped trail I’d circled a hundred times before. But on that particular day, I saw it differently. This shift in perspective felt like crossing some threshold. I went home and quickly picked up my guitar, trying to capture the moment I knew one cycle was closing and another was beginning.
The music did its work here. Without intention, the feeling wove itself into the composition. The song moves in familiar repetition, cycling through twice before shifting—there’s a moment of tension, a break in the pattern, and then the song changes completely. The instrumental outro is like stepping into a new journey before softly settling into the acceptance of it. It’s the only song on the record in an open tuning. It’s also the song that ends the album, almost like a send-off, an understanding that the previous chapter has now closed."
"It Came to Me Then" is now available on all streaming platforms.

Praise for Beyond the Break’s first single, “Patience Comes to the Bones”:
“A gorgeous folk ballad, “Patience Comes to the Bones” is all the more enchanting for the spaces it leaves, the soft expanse between words. Gently joined by strings, that ache quietly in the background, Daelyn sings with a thoughtful purpose, like all the power lies in the discovery, in the knowing.” — GoldFlakePaint
“Patience Comes to the Bones” introduces a collection of songs which looks to carve a space of reflection and peace within the tumultuous present, approaching the dissatisfaction and suffering common to us all from a decidedly compassionate angle. Supported by guest appearances from Dan Knishkowy (Adeline Hotel), Danny Black (Good Old War, Gregory Alan Isakov) and Patrick Riley, Daelyn’s soulful vocals and intricate, intimate guitar welcome the audience into the space so that we too might re-examine our lives from new angles and come to appreciate the fellowship to be found in the universality of longing.” — Various Small Flames
