The track is the Austin artist’s first release of the year following four excellent 2025 releases
A track that is soaked in authenticity and the kind of understated, resonating charm that brings every ounce of emotion and heart to the surface of the sound, JD Elwood‘s latest single ‘Today I Thought of You’ is a track that looks to pay tribute to the lasting and all-encompassing nature of love through generations, hardships, and loss.
The stunning blend acoustic guitar, fiddle, banjo, and mandolin does a great job of bringing the narrative to life and giving the sound a real warmness that strikes a chord with you as a listener. A whole lifetime of love and reverence is explored through the track, from the starry-eyed young romance, to the grit and hard work that comes with building a family, to the strength that it takes to go on and feel their presence when you are faced with a loss, but the love still burns bright. It is a testament to the kind of love and relationships that feels increasingly rare in modern times, and the subtle and real nature of the sound does an incredible job of amplifying such a moving message.
