In Their Words: “Troy and I spent hours writing the guitar work for this song. We had so many ideas, and they kept flowing as we worked. We really hadn’t played it in the context of the song with the whole band though. When we brought it to the studio there was an energy that all of the guys were riding on. We laid it down on the second take and knew it was a keeper. It was so live and organic, but tight and strong. It was really awesome to see the whole thing come together.” — Skip Cherryholmes, on playing twin guitars with bandmate Troy Boone
