Paid Time Off

About Paid Time Off

“Paid Time Off” is the fifth song on Kahan’s fourth studio album, The Great Divide, publicly debuting via NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert on April 21, 2026. The title works as a metaphor. While it refers to taking time off from work, it likely points to something deeper: needing distance from fame, expectations, or relationships, and questioning whether rest is something you have to earn. It also touches on the guilt that can come with stepping back, even when you’re overwhelmed. .
