"Stay Magical" was recorded in the Catskill Mountains of Upstate New York surrounded by nature and all things fun. The endless inspiration found in this environment can be heard in every aspect of this album, from the peaceful sounds of nature between the tracks, to the lyrical content, and instrumental composition. All four seasons are captured and showcased throughout "Stay Magical"; the birds singing at dawn in the spring, crickets chirping on hot summer nights, wind chimes sparkling in the fall, and the crackling comfort of the fireplace in winter. The writing and recording process spanned the time of three years, as Fort Vine carefully crafted and nurtured this project, discovering the depth of meaning in each song; a common theme and metaphor woven through the entire listening experience.
