This is insane ! Thank you radio friends and fans . What an honor. We wrote this song 6 years ago after we were done with our album and wanted to finish some B sides . It came together quickly . The lyric is about a spiritual crisis – the “dark night of the soul” moment that can break through to self love . In hindsight it is perfect and poetic that this message would be the turning point for our band – not just in popularity – but in re-discovering the soul of Cold War kids . And that our “hit song “ would be born almost by accident . Thank you guys for being with us on the journey and looking forward to seeing you on tour next year . -Nathan & CWK
