In Their Words: “I got the inspiration for this song from an interview I heard my buddy Jimbo Hart do. He talked about fishing on Wilson Lake with his father and hearing the sound of wind blowing off the river and through caves on the side of the bluffs. Then, when I made it down to Muscle Shoals, Tuscumbia, Sheffield, and Florence, Alabama, it became clear to me it was something I wanted to write about. The song has a lot of different meanings, but I think all I was really trying to make clear was how much I loved the time spent there immersing myself in their community and culture.” – Cole Gallagher
