Sid Hillman: Even Things

“Even Things”, by Sid Hillman, is a poignant meditation on the emotional reckonings that surface in the quiet after a storm. The song brings slow-burning lyrics and gentle instrumentation to paint a picture of a relationship teetering on imbalance, where attempts to “even things” give way to acceptance. There’s a cinematic stillness to Hillman’s delivery, steeped in the melancholic textures of Americana and slowcore, telling about surrendering control, giving up the illusion of symmetry in love, and understanding that not everything broken can (or should) be repaired.
