Silently the Shades of Evening is a Civil War–era hymn cycle told from the perspective of a God-fearing army surgeon, Christopher Christian Cox. It opens with an instrumental portrait of Baltimore on the brink of war, then follows his choice to don army blue, his first exposure to battlefield carnage, and the long nights inside canvas hospitals lit only by lanterns. Songs arise in the very places where the wounded lie—campfires before dawn, crowded wards, and a quiet riverbank where he tries to make sense of what he’s seen. Instrumental pieces move the war forward in waves of battle and exhaustion, while the vocal tracks are the surgeon’s own sung prayers and field hymns, written to steady frightened soldiers and his own soul. The album closes with an evening hymn that gathers all the sorrow, mercy, and small acts of courage into one twilight song, pointing toward the later hymn-writing life that waits beyond the war.

When the Shades of Evening Fall

“All Day Honey” is an upbeat, feel-good soul track about that one person who lives in your head from the first sip of coffee to the late-night movie.

[Verse 1]
Alarm goes off, you hit snooze twice
Hair up high, big T-shirt, nice
Steal my mug, say, “You’ll be late”
Still in my way at the kitchen gate

Toast pops up, you laugh and miss
Crumbs on the floor and a quick side kiss
You say, “I look rough, don’t look at me”
But that’s my favorite you I ever see

[Pre-Chorus]
You move slow, I move fast
You just smile and let it pass
Phone blowin’ up, I should check it soon
Then you spin once in the living room

[Chorus]
All day, honey, honey, honey
You’re runnin’, round round my brain
From that first sip of coffee
To our late-night movie on

Little bit sweet, little bit sweet
Don’t need much, just give me
My all, all day honey, honey

[Verse 2]
Break at work, you hit my phone
Selfie with a note: “Can’t wait to go home”
“Pick a number, one through ten”
You’re talkin’ dinner, I’m fallin’ again

Red light jam in your old car
Wrong words loud to your favorite part
You tap that wheel, say, “This day’s been long”
Two notes and it’s a brand new song

[Pre-Chorus]
You flip moods like switchin’ tracks
Turn me ’round, then reel me back
Every little thing that you just do
Feels like summer runnin’ through

[Chorus]
All day, honey, honey, honey
You’re honey, runni, honey, runnin’ round my brain
From the parking lot pulling out
To the couch at the end of the day

Little bit sweet, little bit funny
Turn nothin’ into somethin’ sunny
Don’t need much, just give me
My all, all day honey, honey

[Bridge]
If the plans fall through, we don’t care
Order cheap food, leave the world out there
Two-step in socks on the living room rug
Love sinkin’ in with a slow, steady hug

If the rent’s run tight, we’re still fine
Feel-good playlist on all night
You lean in, smile, say, “We’re all good”
I grab your hand, thinkin’, “this feels better than it should”

[Final Chorus]
All day, honey, honey, honey
You’re runnin’, runnin’ round my brain
From the sunrise in the kitchen
To the rain on the window

Little bit sweet, little bit funny
Turn nothin’ into somethin’ sunny
If I get one thing right, it’s true
It’s lovin’ my all day honey—you

[Tag]
Runnin’, honey, runnin’ honey
Yeah, honey, honey, all day honey
Hmmmmm, my all day honey

ALL DAY HONEY
