In Their Words: “I wrote this song to a family member because I wanted them to show love more and not hold back expressing it. Life’s too short to sit on the fence with that kind of thing. Especially when it comes to family. The irony though is that I moved away from my family in England, and although we are incredibly close, part of me feels like I let them down a bit. Like, with every song I write I guess I am still self-indulgently writing partly about myself and actions. I have missed a lot of weddings, birthdays and births so my family member had every right to tell me to bugger off. Kindly of course.” –Bobby Long
