In Their Words: "This song, for me, is a specific direction to a place I'd like to explore on all future full length releases, no matter how energetic the other songs could be. A place that feels cinematic, where strings come in and pull you along in their wake. And look, we all get sick of not saying how we feel, artists especially, and we either act on or deny the impulse to change that. There are some morbid images in this song, and I find the bizarre lifestyle of the underexposed twenty-something musician to be the very machine that churns these images out. Just because you make music somebody calls pop doesn't ever give you the right to exclude the darker sides of life from the brighter shades of music." -- Singer Emil Hewitt
