Ahead of the release of her new solo album later this month, singer/songwriter Anaïs Mitchell (Hadestown, Bonny Light Horseman, Big Red Machine) has shared “On Your Way (Felix Song)”. The heartbreaking ode to a lost friend will be found on her self-titled release, out January 28th via BMG.

Mitchell’s self-titled album was produced by Josh Kaufman and also features core players including Kaufman, Michael Lewis, JT Bates, Thomas Bartlett and Aaron Dessner, with string and flute arrangements provided by Nico Muhly.

Anaïs Mitchell “On Your Way (Felix Song):”

“I wrote “On Your Way (Felix Song)” for my friend Felix McTeigue, who died unexpectedly in 2020. We briefly had the same manager in our early “hustling days” of trying to get a songwriter career going. I can picture us playing at the old Living Room on the lower east side, and me being one of five people in Felix’s audience, and vice versa. Felix was really fearless and present, he always had a guitar on his back, he was always writing something, he loved the act of just rushing headlong into writing, recording, not overthinking it. It’s a lesson I’ll return to for the rest of my life.”
