We started writing this song at Pandora’s Box on the night before valentine’s day in 2019. We’d been establishing a sound that blends our influences and questions genres. At some point we discovered we were all having pretty similar relationship issues. Being able to be vulnerable with one another is what allows us to write songs we all connect with. There’s something about this song that feels like a quest for love, or a turbulent high school romance..

Most of the first ideas we had are still on the recording. The cheap plugins, the casino sample, etc. (We’ll try to unpack the session for you guys to see/hear what the demo sounded like in a later post). Later, Matt and Hayden gave us the opportunity to capture the rest of the instruments, and it became is this incredible recording that we only could have imagined.

We’ve played this song countless amounts of times at shows and it’s always been a favourite of ours and a lot of our loved ones. Don’t know why it took so long or why now is the right time. But the truth is we come back to this song every year and it stands the test of time.
