“Mirror in the Hallway”
The third single and title track from our new album, “Mirror in the Hallway” began with a quiet, domestic moment: my dog Neko staring at her own reflection in a heavy mirror we’d propped on the floor.
Animals usually ignore themselves; she didn’t. I jotted it down.
I’ve been staring into mirrors my whole life — as a child trying to outmaneuver the stranger on the other side, as a grown man checking hair, changing lanes, and adding a filter to a selfie. Mirrors are where we first learn we exist. They’re where we practice our faces, our roles, our lies. They are also where we confront the versions of ourselves we didn’t expect to meet.
This song asks what that reflected self really is. Who am I when everyone else knows a different version of me — teacher Drew, friend Drew, artist Drew, the guy at the bar Drew? Identity isn’t a single portrait; it’s an infinity mirror made of every person we’ve been and every person who looks back at us.
“Mirror in the Hallway” is about that slow work of becoming: the small recognitions, the daily reckonings, and the hard, honest promise to be a clearer mirror for someone else. I'll be your mirror, please be mine.
