Naomi Jane‘s latest release, “Measure Forever,” is about a relationship that’s only 90 days old but already feels big enough to inspire thoughts of forever. The song is about the thrill of new love, mixed with the little things that make a relationship special. Pedal steel, dobro, organ, guitars, and bass provide the song with a lush musical backdrop and a romantic country glow.
There’s also an appeal in the song’s contemporary specifics, pinboards on Pinterest, and suggestions for a new last name. Even a husband who snores. All of these things go into everyday relationship moments. And there’s another playful touch in the clever “first base / first place” lyric that gives the song a decidedly modern feel while keeping it squarely in line with affection and the thrill of a developing relationship.
“Measure Forever” is an excellent choice for modern-country romance, country-pop, women of country, singer-songwriters, roots-pop, young love, feel-good relationships, date nights, and wedding-adjacent vibes. Naomi Jane’s song is about that moment in love when three months can suddenly seem like a long time, and the notion of forever is starting to feel less abstract and more real.
