In Their Words: “‘Never Walking Out’ is a snapshot story of the 60-year marriage between Eric’s grandparents (Dick & Brenda). Inspired by the performances of June & Johnny Cash, we unflinchingly address our highs and lows of life shared over decades. We imbued it with candor and humor so listeners can imagine a lively conversation as though we’re sitting across a table sharing a couple beers or cups of tea. The video features actual studio footage of our many takes at Eagle Hill School in Hardwick, Massachusetts. One of our fans’ favorites, the heartbeat of this song, as with all songs on our new album, is our honest attempt to capture our dynamic chemistry, recorded in real time using just four microphones. After grabbing our favorite take, Eric added additional instrumentation including upright bass, high-strung guitar, percussion, and Mellotron to fill out a folk singer-songwriter vibe reminiscent of yesteryear. It was a very fun and cathartic process.” — Ash L’Esperance
