In Their Words: “This song came to me on a street corner. I was on a run when the inkling of a melody struck me. I remember singing it into into my phone’s voice recorder to capture the thoughts as they came. It’s a song that took me by surprise and managed to say everything that needed saying in that moment. Pure catharsis. I went into the studio just a couple weeks later and recorded this take.” — Kelly Hunt
