Key Features: Discussing what they hoped to explore lyrically with this track, vocalist and lyricist Ethan Proctor explains: “Sometimes change is expected, and sometimes it’s a surprise. It can be terrifying, though more often than not change can be necessary. The last few years have been a bit of a whirlwind, and I first wrote this song when Chess and I moved back to Somerset from London. It was a real period of reflection and change for the band. We can dwell on things, we can hunker down in a rut. Taking some time to look inward is important, and I can forget that. It’s a cool revelation to think we are forever finding ourselves again and again."
For Fans Of: Manchester Orchestra, The Gaslight Anthem, Frightened Rabbit, The National, The Wonder Years
