In Their Words: “‘Sister’ is one of my favorite songs on this album. I’m so happy with how the recording turned out. Heath Fogg cut loose a bit on guitar in a wonderful way and Maggie Rose’s ace backing vocals are a total dream. I wrote this song for my older sister when she was fighting for her life in a years-long battle with cancer. She is in remission now, happy and healthy, for which my entire family is forever thankful. I hoped to write it in a way that it could be for all of the wonderful people who inspire and uplift us in our lives. We all want to see our loved ones happy and healthy, but when they are going through hard times there is often a feeling of hopelessness. This song was born out of that feeling and the desire to express love and support. In the first verse I gave my sis a hidden shout out in the lyric, ‘sunflower days never fade.’ SunflowerDays was actually her first email address. Rock on, sis.” — Caleb Elliott
