In Their Words: “There are so many songs about those first few seconds when you’re falling in love and your brain is constantly on fire. ‘Turning Back’ is about something that happens long, long after that. Jeff (my writing partner on this song) and I were talking about grown up love (we’re both married and have little ones); at this point in my life, a quiet moment with my wife feels like a real luxury. Whenever we get those simple, sweet moments, we cherish them. This is an entire chapter of the love story that nobody ever writes about; here we are, deep in this thing, still loving each other with absolutely no intention of turning around. It’s different than the beginning, but it’s deeper and that much more beautiful as a result.” — Ron Pope
