“Out of all the rock songs I’ve made, Track #4 could be my favourite, but it’s a weird one for me. Writing it felt like a huge release—it was like an emotion bomb—and it flowed out of me in a half hour, but all the parts took me months to mix. It’s also one of my most private songs, but it’s turned out to be the one track of mine my friends have pressured me to put out most. Music’s weird like that… the most personal stuff hits the hardest. Even though it’s been 3 years since I made it, I feel like this song still represents what I do musically pretty perfectly. Better late than never, right?”
