You Me the Kids - Single Review| Posted June 06, 2025 What You Need To Know Written and arranged by Bryant Urich, Kyle Kicker, and Justin Barnett, "You Me the Kids" from Eauclaire was inspired by the band's current season of life—raising children, growing marriages, and chasing dreams while embracing the beautiful chaos of everyday living. The track paints vivid scenes of spontaneous road trips and quiet moments of reflection, all anchored by the unwavering strength of love and togetherness. From its steady groove to its emotional bridge, the song challenges listeners to recognize the magic in the mundane and appreciate the people who make life worth living.
What It Sounds Like With a soft indie-rock sound, this song's happy and lively sound is bound to inspire many listeners. There's a surprising amount of guitar action in this one, but also a lot of quiet and introspective sections to balance it out. The song evokes memories of family road trips and is perfect for playing loudly with the windows down on the way to summer destinations with the family.
Spiritual Highlights As someone still newly married and now a first-time father, I resonate with this love letter to family life. As the song declares, "these are the good days," and I am trying to make sure I take time to stop and appreciate them, even as they zip by. Jesus came into the world not as a royal monarch, but as part of a simple, loving family. The Holy family of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus serves as a model for all families. I think the loving homage to the joys of marriage and parenthood is a kind of spiritual highlight we could always do with more of in our culture.
Bottom Line A joyous love letter to marriage and parenthood that will resonate with families everywhere.
