Get Me There to Church: A Song Etched in Distance and Devotion

In the heart of San Francisco’s ever-beating rhythm, a new voice has begun to echo through the alleys of country music — one with soul, warmth, and an unmistakable tenderness. Michellar, the artistic moniker of Michelle Bond, has stepped into the spotlight with a single that isn’t just heard, but felt. Titled “Get Me There to Church”, the track is more than a melody — it’s a memory wrapped in song, a personal prayer spun from real love and quiet reflection. Released on June 27th, the song marks the emergence of a songwriter whose pen bleeds truth and whose guitar strings hum with sincerity.

With the poetic fire of Miranda Lambert in her veins, Michellar doesn’t just emulate the genre — she lives it. “Get Me There to Church” tells the story of two people who've chosen each other time and time again, yet still long for that final step — the sacred promise under stained glass and sunlight. It’s about realizing that even shared life isn't the same as shared vows, and that sometimes, all that’s left is a walk down the aisle. There’s honesty in the lyrics, grounded in Michelle’s own lived experience, which gives the song its heart-stirring intimacy. 

The song is a product of a cross-continental collaborative dance, with initial concepts flowering in San Francisco and later growing into full production in the UK — both in London and Staffordshire. Brought to life by the expressive vocals of Helen Walford and Harrison Black, and produced by the skilled Tobias Wilson, the collaborative effort spans not only oceans, but emotions as well — leaving the music feeling as open as the love story that it relates. The distance between recording studios can only appear to enhance the song's messages of distance, longing, and the hopeful quest for forever.

Although no live dates are on the books yet, there's a low buzz of excitement — like this song is merely the initial ripple of a wave that has yet to break. For Michellar, this wasn't just a matter of writing a country song — it was a matter of paying tribute to a moment that transformed her. It's the kind of song that doesn't just point toward potential, but is a fully realized thing, full of depth and consideration.
