There’s something quietly cinematic about Westwell’s new single “Ten Feet Tall.” It’s a song that doesn’t just play through your speakers, it sort of drifts through your memory, tugging at moments you didn’t realize you still carried. At its heart, this track is a love letter from a son to his father, stitched together with snapshots of childhood awe and the tender reality of watching roles reverse with time.

The lyrics are the soul of it. Lines like “Bear my first breath, help with my first step, held onto my hand when I said I was scared” land like home videos you can hear, grainy but golden. The chorus hits with that anchor line, “To me, you were always ten feet tall, up on your shoulders knowing I’d never fall,” and it instantly locks itself in your chest. It’s not dramatic, just deeply sure of itself, which somehow makes it even more moving.
Westwell threads the song with subtle instrumental warmth, the kind that lets the words breathe. There’s a gentle rise in the second half when he sings about becoming a father himself, and suddenly the song isn’t just about looking back, but carrying something forward. That’s the real magic here: it’s not just about loss or nostalgia, it’s about legacy.
