Every Other Weekend Finds Beauty in Letting Go on “Resolution”
I don’t know about you, but these days it’s hard to even have genuine connection because of the way we are Soo disconnected and think we can do everything on our own. Like have you spent Soo much time staring at your phone, worrying about a million minor details, and wondering why it is so incredibly hard to make a genuine, meaningful connection with anyone these days?
I don’t get it, it’s like we all living with a ton of hidden anxiety, feel of going solo and the thought that everyone wants what we also want. We take ourselves and our routines way too seriously, work work work, scroll scroll scroll, and boom off to bed, no time to even speak with people, have deep convos and have fun. But the thing is sometimes, you just need to turn off the constant noise, sit down in a quiet room, and let a beautiful piece of music wash over you.
But worry not, cos I’ve got the perfect track to help you hit the pause button on your daily stress, a fantastic independent project from London named Every Other Weekend just dropped a gorgeous new single called “Resolution.” The track was released on June 1, 2026 and serves as the third taste of the project’s highly anticipated upcoming debut album, titled “All Present and Inept,” which is scheduled to drop later this year.
When you listen to the song, you’d be like who’s this brilliant mind behind Every Other Weekend? Well the man behind is Chris Bull, who you might remember as the former frontman for the Manchester indie-rock band City Reign. The upcoming album was actually seven long years in the making, born out of a massive, tumultuous period in Chris’s life. He had to process the devastating loss of his father, the painful breakdown of his first marriage, and the eventual breakup of his old band all at once, this will break many and some may never recover from it, but a man is a man and has to overcome it, and that’s why sometimes you need that particular song to calm it all down and feel alive again.
Hold up, when your entire life changes beyond recognition, you have to find a way to rebuild yourself and for Chris, that meant moving back into his childhood home to regroup. Sometimes the best place is back to the roots, so what happened was, while he was there, he found himself naturally drawn to the old family piano—the exact instrument his father used to play and the one his father first used to teach him.
Chris sat down at the keys, and a beautiful melody practically fell out of the sky. He loved the tune so much that he decided to build a whole song around it. To record it, he set up a temporary studio right inside his mother’s garage, using a bunch of his late father’s vintage recording equipment. He got some expert help from his close friend Mick Morrison, a former Abbey Road recording engineer, and reached out to his old bandmate Mike Grice to lay down some incredible lead guitar parts from all the way over in New Zealand.
The results is this masterpiece”Resolution”. You don’t get it as good as this these days, but this is a beautifully pensive, piano-driven indie track. Chris deliberately chose not to overthink the production on this one. Instead of packing the song full of loud, distracting studio tricks or massive walls of noise, the arrangement is completely stripped-back and clean. The piano melody takes the absolute lead, carrying the chorus with a deep sense of warmth and comforting nostalgia.
The entry of the lead guitar is a total standout moment. Mike Grice’s guitar work doesn’t try to show off with a fast, aggressive solo. Instead, it weaves right around the piano notes, driving the rhythm along in a way that feels totally effortless, smooth, and flowing. The message of the track is all about the quiet relief of letting go. Chris kept the lyrics sparse and simple because he wanted to capture a raw emotional feeling rather than telling a rigid, complicated story. It opens with the brilliant line, “There’s a freedom in the eyes of strangers, a freedom from the sins you hold.”
The core message speaks directly to that universal human desire to find a clean slate. When you are surrounded by people who know everything about your past mistakes and heartbreaks, you can feel trapped by your own history. But there is a strange, beautiful comfort in walking through a crowd of strangers who see you exactly as you are right now, completely free from your old burdens. It is a song about finding peace in the middle of isolation and realizing that a new beginning is always possible.
Every Other Weekend has delivered a stunningly honest piece of art that rewards you for slowing down and actually paying attention. It feels real, has that instruments in a garage feel, and doesn’t suffocate you. If there’s anything, this single “Resolution” tells us that sometimes it’s best to let go and start all over. You don’t have to hold onto the past especially when it’s weighing you down, just let go and find a resolute.
