In Their Words: "The hardest songs to write are the ones you shun for a long time because it can be so damn hard to be that honest. Then maybe you play it for the person you love and, looking at you as if she's really seeing you for the first time, she says, 'You're going to leave, aren't you?' That was six years ago. She came to a show recently and heard it again for the first time since the day I wrote it. Nothing has changed. And everything has. I wouldn't have it any other way." — Matt Haeck
