STANS (The Official Soundtrack)

Everybody’s Looking At Me

Sunburn in October is a song about the moments that catch us off guard and remind us to slow down. A simple day outside becomes a metaphor for how easily we forget to protect our time, our energy, and our hearts. The sunburn is real, but so is the reflection that comes with it. This track leans into warmth, honesty, and the small reminders that help us stay grounded. It is a quiet anthem for anyone trying to take care of everything and still hold onto themselves.

Sunburn in October

“YOU” is the emotional centerpiece of the album, a song built on gratitude, connection, and the power people have to lift one another up. It moves from a soft, intimate start into a full cinematic swell, spotlighting the people who inspire us, steady us, and remind us why we show up each day. Every line circles back to the same truth: everything begins and ends with you. A heartfelt anthem from Kristoff Kooke.

“Turning the Page” is a warm, reflective track from Kristoff Kooke’s debut album I Love You Guys, written from a place of gratitude, growth, and the quiet moments that remind us what really matters.

Blending cinematic pop with a hopeful rise, the song captures that feeling of stepping into a new season — carrying lessons from the past, letting go of the noise, and choosing thankfulness as the compass forward.

A celebration of change, perspective, and the people who lift us.
It’s a new chapter. A new breath.
A new page.

Turning The Page

“Don’t Blink” is a reflective anthem about slowing down in the middle of life’s chaos. It captures the feeling of sprinting through responsibilities, seasons changing too fast, and the quiet reminder to be present with the people who matter most. Built around a warm, cinematic indie-pop sound, the song lifts into a repeating hook that feels both urgent and calming — a reminder to notice the moments that slip past us.

This track continues the theme of gratitude, growth, connection, and paying attention to the small things that keep us grounded. It fits right alongside the rest of the album’s message: step back, breathe in, and don’t blink… or you might miss what makes life beautiful.

Lonely

“Santa Mouse Plays On” is a country-Christmas story about a lonely little mouse who fills a big quiet house with music, imagination, and heart. His imaginary band keeps him company through the winter nights — until Santa himself shows up and joins the tune. It’s a warm, fun, and modern take on the classic Santa Mouse tale, full of country charm, porchlight rhythm, and the kind of holiday magic that never stops playing. A small mouse, a big heart, and a song that carries on — even in the quiet.

The Gingerbread Man March is a fun country Christmas story song about a crew of cookie men stomping through the kitchen on Christmas Eve. With a porch-stomp beat, candy-cane rhythm and a wink of humor, the song follows their big sugary parade as they pick up frosting, sprinkles and trouble along the way. It is upbeat, a little mischievous, and perfect for holiday playlists that need something playful with a country twist. If your Christmas needs a smile, the march is ready.

“Peppermint Beats” is a warm, modern-country Christmas anthem built on the sounds that make the season feel alive. Candy canes clicking like drumsticks, porch boards creaking in rhythm, jars shaking like shakers — everything becomes part of the heartbeat of Christmas. The song ties together the rush, the glow, the late-night magic, and the quiet moments that make the holidays feel real. With acoustic guitars, country groove, and a big sing-along chorus, “Peppermint Beats” brings the whole season into one cozy rhythm.

“Funk-A-Pum Pum” is a funky, sample-driven Christmas rap built on a flipped 70s soul groove, breakbeat drums, and a scratch-friendly hook. It’s a playful, high-energy holiday track with quick cadence, DJ cuts, and a big boom-bap swing. No nativity references—just pure Christmas fun, retro horns, and that rhythmic pa rum pum pum pum turned into a full-on funk anthem. Turn it up and let the holiday beat go dumb.
