In Their Words: "As a band, we talk a lot about three things: Mexican food, movies, and time travel. 'Go Back' — which was inspired by the 1985 blockbuster Back to the Future — concerns the latter two. The song deals with how tapping into an earlier version of oneself can sometimes be the quickest way through a rut in the present day. The vocal arrangement is as maximalist as we get, with all four of us singing in unison or harmony for the majority of the song. In the second installation of the BttF trilogy, Marty McFly travels forward in time to October 2015. We like to think of this as a welcome anthem." — Auyon Mukharji
Listening Instructions: Get in a car, find an open road, and stick your head out the window … maybe let someone else drive, though.
