Dear Evan Hansen

If I Could Tell Her (From The “Dear Evan Hansen” Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Postcards from a Past Lane is a collection of places you’ve been, people you lost, and moments you never said out loud.

It opens on “Letters from the Seaside Town,” where salt air and unsent words still feel alive, and moves into “After the Last Train Home,” a nighttime walk through a city that’s teaching you how to keep going. “Paper Lantern Hearts” floats a softer kind of hope, and “The Way Back Home” reminds you that sometimes coming back is the bravest move.

“Maps of the Morning” is early light, coffee, and quiet courage. “Static Between Stars” is the sound of reaching for someone across distance and doubt. “Somewhere the Lights Stay On” promises you don’t have to be okay to be welcome. “Echoes of a Quiet Street” walks the blocks that still remember your name.

By “Half-Life of a Promise,” you’re learning what fades and what doesn’t. “Cathedrals of the Common Day” lifts ordinary life until it feels holy. “Postcards Never Sent” is every almost-said thing you’ve carried for years. “Bright Enough for Two” leaves you in the sunlight with someone who makes the room feel bigger than you thought it could.

Bonus tracks circle the heart of the record:

“Where the Footbridge Starts” is about going back to where you first told the truth.
“First Warm Thought” is for the person who never loved you back but still lives inside your gentlest memory.

These aren’t love songs and heartbreak songs. They’re memory songs. This album is not asking you to relive the past. It’s handing it back to you so you can walk forward with both hands free.
