Every Other Weekend's 'Come Back (When You Feel Like)' marks a triumphant, tender reawakening

There’s a particular kind of song that feels like someone cracking open a long-shut window. And 'Come Back (When You Feel Like)', the debut single from Chris Bull’s new project Every Other Weekend, is exactly that kind of moment. Offering the sound of a breath drawn after years underwater, a hesitant but hopeful step back toward the thing that once defined him.

After nearly a decade away from releasing music, he reemerges with a track that sits in its own vulnerability, steady and unadorned, powered by a heartbeat-tight drum groove and his unmistakable mix of jangling guitar lines and plainspoken melancholy. It’s the kind of sound he’s always excelled at, but now it carries a new depth, shaped by loss, solitude, and the slow rebuilding of a life.

The story behind this comeback is woven directly into the music. Tracked in his mother’s garage using his late father’s old gear, the song hums with a kind of spectral warmth, as if the room itself were offering backing vocals. There’s an intimacy to the production that feels intentional: no polish, just the sound of an artist letting himself exist again.

Lyrically, Bull leans toward gentle wisdom rather than grand statements. 'Come Back (When You Feel Like)' is a quiet note slipped under the door. The song pulses with acceptance for the past, the pauses between chapters, the slow, and the uneven process of healing. It’s a message to himself as much as to anyone listening: you’re allowed to leave, and you’re allowed to return.

As the first glimpse of forthcoming album 'All Present and Inept', the single suggests a record built from survival, reflection, and the strange peace that comes from finally facing your own silence. It’s a striking reintroduction from an artist who has learned to honour the spaces between notes as much as the notes themselves.
