“I Am Only Ever Thinking About You” – Zach Seabaugh
A missed call, a late night, a long drive…
* * *
On “I Am Only Ever Thinking About You,” Zach Seabaugh writes a romantic, sweeping ballad about commitment –
– an acoustic serenade that unfolds through plucked strings, stirring stillness, and the aching warmth of distance. Released in February via Cloverdale Records, the Georgia-born, Nashville-based indie folk songwriter’s song finds him reflecting on devotion, companionship, and the dream of building a life with someone even while the road keeps pulling him away.
Actively releasing music for over a decade, Seabaugh has recently caught attention online with songs that turn romance, longing, and everyday connection into something warmly cinematic. Since his debut album Mr. Nobody arrived in 2023, Seabaugh has amassed more than 500 million streams and built a devoted audience. Yet, he had already been writing and performing for years: In 2015, he appeared on The Voice and sang “Brand New Girlfriend,” a moment that helped guide him toward claiming his voice, his performance style, and his unique presence on stage.
On the road, Seabaugh has performed as both a headliner and a supporting artist alongside Evan Honer, Lady A, and Drew Holcomb, while also producing and writing with Chance Peña, Shaboozey, and Kane Brown. It is that life in motion – the stages, cities, and stretches of time spent away – that gives “I Am Only Ever Thinking About You” its ache. Written as an ode to his fiancée, the song reflects on the person who makes home feel steady, even from afar. “Being a touring musician takes you away from your home life, and for me, I struggle with being away from the people I love. This song is a love letter home to my fiancé to let her know I was always thinking of her,” Seabaugh confides.
Taking pictures I can’t wait to show you
In a city I think you would like
Buying little things that make me think about you
Carrying them keeps you on my mind
And it moves slowly, but I’m not lonely
When you’re laying down at night
wondering what I’m up to
Honey, I am only ever thinking about you
When I’m staring off into the wild blue
Honey, I am only ever thinking about you
A quiet room fills with soft acoustic notes and an echoing harmony that seems to move gently through the walls.
Zach Seabaugh captures a tender conversation in “I Am Only Ever Thinking About You.” The track stirs the heartstrings as it reflects on the distance between lovers, lingering in the image of Seabaugh “staring off into the wild blue.” There is a calming trust here, like an internal breeze, and affection forms through the song’s organic attention to the mundane – its picture frames, missed calls, long drives, and living-room suppers all signaling a profound closeness beyond the years and moments captured in memory. There is an unwavering sense of emotion in the atmosphere he creates, from the silence of static on the radio during “a long drive,” to the ache that grows louder when two partners are apart.
A missed call, a late night, a long drive
When I get home you’re already in bed
We dream away all our time together
When you wake up, I am gone again
And it’s not easy, believe me
We’ll figure it out, girl, we always do
Honey, I am only ever thinking about you
Til we’re sitting down for
a supper in the living room
Honey, I am only ever
thinking about you.
Simple moments gather in a single “living room,” in the song, as the acoustic guitar deepens the sense of love and commitment. The yearning is rich and benevolent, creating an ambience worth settling into, like a fire crackling within a warm space that Seabaugh calls his own. When listeners press play, his sliding fingertips imprint a texture into the serenity of belonging from the first measure. The pressure of the strings relieves tension in listeners’ minds as the chords unfold into a tranquil message that eases them toward home. “We dream away all our time together / When you wake up, I am gone again,” he sings, capturing the friction of mismatched timing and the hope that love can still find its way back to the full picture. The tune becomes a tender meditation on place and timing, making it an earnest ballad about love and commitment.
What makes “I Am Only Ever Thinking About You” so affecting is its refusal to turn distance into melodrama. Seabaugh is not writing about grand declarations or impossible longing so much as the small, steady rituals of remembering someone: The picture saved for later, the city imagined through their eyes, the little object carried from place to place because it keeps them close. In his hands, love becomes less about arrival than attention – a daily act of devotion that turns every mile away into another promise of return.
Zach Seabaugh delivers a heartfelt acoustic love letter to the person who makes home feel close, even from miles away.
“I Am Only Ever Thinking About You” is a sweeping ballad that holds the heart in the wonder of what comes next when life carries you far from the ones you love.
Even in motion, Seabaugh radiates the affection of believing that home can be carried with you throughout the journey. His songwriting is light, warm, and woven with a sense of belonging, resonant through each acoustic note, offering a ringing harmony between distance, silence, and commitment.
