In Their Words: “‘Fade’ is about facing yourself and revisiting memories and/or demons and coming to terms with them. There were so many things going through my head when I wrote this song. My grandmother had passed and my life was changing and the people around me were changing and spiraling. I was faced with difficult life choices I had to make and this song was an outlet.
“The video for ‘Fade’ was filmed at various locations in my hometown and in a small neighboring town. I filmed multiple scenes in my granny’s old home that she left to me. I feel the lyrics reflect the imagery in the video. I filmed a specific scene as I burned a life’s worth of papers and collected memories outside in her yard one night with an old crutch and it was cathartic. ‘Fade’ is one of my favorite videos and I feel that it is one of the best songs on the album. It is definitely one that I am connected to.” — Jeremy Squires
