In Their Words: “The song ‘Swerve’ is about exploring and discovering new relationships in your community and not letting differing ideologies or world views get in the way of connecting on a human level. It’s easy to get caught up in sides (especially online) but I think it’s different in person when you can actually see the human you’re interacting with. My desire when around new people is connection and learning and I think most people’s want/need is that, too. ‘Swerve’ is about joy, creativity, and love. The first verse and chorus came to me as I was driving through windy roads in North Carolina on the way back from a new friend’s house. I was passing houses wondering who lived in them and what it would feel like to deeply connect with more people in my local area.” — Bennett Sullivan
