"Stuck in October" is the latest single from Toronto singer-songwriter Hunter Sheridan. The song is a moving look at love, loss, and how fragile it is to be open. Sheridan wrote and made the song in his own studio at home, and it quickly pulls listeners into his world by mixing emotion with polished art.
The first notes make you think, and the drumbeat moves the piece along without being too loud. Sheridan's voice moves through the subtle tension of being afraid of losing a soulmate while also wanting hope. This creates a balance that is both moving and powerful. It feels genuine, not forced, and it lasts long after the song is over.
Damian Birdsey's production shows off Sheridan's emotional delivery with both accuracy and warmth. The soft percussion and rich piano textures in "Stuck in October" all add to the song's emotional arc, making it both big and very personal.
Sheridan's special skill is making heavy themes feel good, and there is an undercurrent of strength and hope that keeps the listener going, even as it speaks of fear and uncertainty. Sheridan walks this fine line with a sincerity that is both disarming and interesting.
In a music world where production is often over-the-top, "Stuck in October" shows how powerful it can be to be real in your writing. Hunter Sheridan's newest work is a short, powerful piece of art that captures the pain of love, the beauty of openness, and the quiet strength needed to move on.
