**NOTE: This is a Bandcamp re-release on the new Vehlinggo Presents account. (It was previously listed on vehlinggo.bandcamp.com.)**
"This song — among others that I was working on at the time — is about change. I started writing it right after moving to Austin from Oklahoma City. A new environment, new feelings, and new perspectives.
"I had kind of lost faith in the track. I got all the instrumentation where I wanted it, but I just couldn’t seem to find my voice with it.
"It wasn’t fully realized until after I met Lauren. We decided that we wanted to collaborate and so I began working on a new song just to find myself coming back around to this particular track again. Lauren breathed a new light and helped me find a solace within the song that I couldn’t find on my own.
"Right before I made another transition/change in my life by moving away from Austin, we recorded Lauren’s vocals over two nights. It was our only shot to get it right and as weary as we were that second night, she nailed it."
