calumhood: This was one of the first songs that was written for the album with Jackson Phillips, who produced a lot of it. At the start, candidly, I’d just write and see what intuitively would come out. I wrote the first verse on my birthday. One of my best friends gave me a painting and it said “Sun behind the sun.” I thought that was beautiful, so I based the whole verse around that. We had a few versions of that song in particular and it was missing a part for me. One day, I sat outside and the whole chorus came to me. It became like the conversations that you still have after someone or something has passed. It becomes a form of communicating still. As I get older, it goes all the way back to square one simplicity for me. What do I love? Who do I love? What do I cherish? Who do I cherish? It’s that simple for me.
