Why Girl Named Tom's Harmonious New Kacey Musgraves Cover Is So Personal

As always, their a capella harmonies are gorgeous.

By Elizabeth Logan

The Voice Season 21 winners Girl Named Tom — a folk trio made up of the three Liechty siblings Bekah, Joshua, and Caleb — sound as harmonious as ever singing a Kacey Musgraves song, and the reason they chose it is close to home.

How to Watch

Watch The Voice Mondays and Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC and next day on Peacock. 

"🌻 is there an architect? 🌻 our grandpa asked us these types of questions," the band captioned their video of the three of them singing a capella, in three-part harmony, the Kacey Musgraves song "The Architect."

"Thanks @spaceykacey for putting this into song. we love people and spaces that are open to WONDER because we know they help us grow! 🫶," the caption continued.

What to know about "The Architect" by Kacey Musgraves

Released in 2024 on Musgraves' album Deeper Well, the song is from the perspective of someone noticing life's complexities and going through changes big and small, wondering how it all came to be. Is God real? Fate? Free will? The song doesn't offer easy answers but invites listeners to consider the possibilities.

The lyrics to "The Architect" by Kacey Musgraves

Even something as small as an apple
It's simple and somehow complex
Sweet and divine, the perfect design
Can I speak to the architect?

And there's a canyon that cuts through the desert
Did it get there because of a flood?
Was it devised, or were you surprised
When you saw how grand it was?

Was it thought out at all, or just paint on a wall?
Is there anything that you regret?
I don't understand, are there blueprints or plans?
Can I speak to the architect?

Sometimes I look in the mirror
And wish I could make a request
Could I pray it away? Am I shapeable clay
Or is this as good as it gets?

Split of Girl Named Tom and Kasey Musgraves

One day, you're on top of the mountain
So high that you'll never come down
Then the wind at your back carries ember and ash
Then it burns your whole house to the ground

Is it thought out at all, or just paint on a wall?
Is there anything that you regret?
I don't understand, are there blueprints or plans?
Can I speak to the architect?

I thought that I was too broken
And maybe too hard to love
I was in a weird place, then I saw the right face
And the stars and the planets lined up

Does it happen by chance? Is it all happenstance?
Do we have any say in this mess?
Is too late to make some more space?
Can I speak to the architect?
This life that we make, is it random or fate?
Can I speak to the architect?

Is there an architect?
