Lyrics can often reveal the essence of a song, and Pawpaw Rod’s “Cherry Tree” single does just that, beautifully combining elements of affection and nature. “I cherish you, you’re so sweet to me,” PawPaw Rod sings passionately. “I always find my way back right under you, bringing me back to life with your fruit. Cherry Tree, I always know that I can find you here.”
The lyrics are adorned with metaphors, comparing a cherished person to a cherry tree. “No lie, you like… complete me. Your fruit’s so ripe, sweet treat,” Rod croons, painting a vivid picture of love and appreciation. “Roots run deep, high up, but you never ever look down on me. No, you love me as yours.” The cherry tree stands tall, symbolizing unwavering support and a joyful presence. It’s a heartwarming metaphor, beautifully delivered.
Ultimately, “Cherry Tree” pays homage to the understated beauty of genuine relationships. Pawpaw Rod’s witty and heartfelt lyricism, coupled with infectious beats, ensures that “Cherry Tree” is a song that will stand tall in our playlists, much like the cherry tree it celebrates.
Suppose you enjoy music by Anderson .Paak, NxWorries, Duckwrth, and Still Woozy, “Cherry Tree” will feel like a familiar yet novel experience. The tone is smooth, the lyrics are poetically rich, and the overall vibe is uplifting. Pawpaw Rod has crafted a tune that effortlessly bridges the gap between upbeat and soulful.
“Cherry Tree” also stands out on Pawpaw Rod’s highly anticipated EP, “Doobie Mouth (An EP From PawPaw Rod).” The project captivates a sense of freshness (“Sunkissed dreams inside my mouth won’t go away”) and authenticity that is bound to resonate with fans.
Pawpaw Rod – “Doobie Mouth (An EP From PawPaw Rod)” EP
The 7-track EP follows PawPaw Rod through an exploration of love and self-growth (alongside a fat loud pack). Upon first listen, it’s evident that “Doobie Mouth” represents an era of distinct sonic expansion; guiding the listener along a journey through previously uncharted territories of R&B and pop, while remaining grounded in the funk roots that comprise the signature sound he’s become known for. The EP consists of recently released singles “Shadow,” “Hello Dear,” and “Rainy,” and is made complete with four new tracks: “When I Get Home,” “Cherry Tree,” “Ain’t Too Cool,” and “Lifeline.”
“Doobie Mouth,” an alias for PawPaw Rod, started as an outlet for him to explore alternative styles of music. Yet, what it’s become is more than a character; it’s a world unto itself. Imagine Pawpaw Rod, joint in mouth, sitting across from a family, pulling out a briefcase, and hitting play on a new musical experience. This character embodies what others perceive Pawpaw Rod to be – a music maker who smokes weed and finds himself in diverse situations, rooted in his life as a military brat-turned-nomad who never stays in one place too long. Through these experiences, he crafted this body of work, hoping the listener will draw parallels to their past, present, and future, stating: “Once it’s out, it’s no longer mine, and that’s when it starts to live.”
PawPaw Rod has announced his upcoming Doobie Mouth Tour, which will see him perform a mix of headlining shows, festival sets (Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits), and support for Still Woozy on numerous stops on his Loveseat Tour.

Pawpaw Rod’s name is steeped in meaning, originating as an homage to his grandfather and drawing further significance from the Pawpaw tree, native to North America which bears rich fruit. Pawpaw, in turn, is where your familial roots reside; he doesn’t claim to have all the answers but gives honest glimpses of love, growth, and principle. It’s through this allegory that PawPaw Rod derives inspiration and direction, not only for his music but for his life.
