"This Song Is Cool To Me Because I Don’t Think It Sounds Like Any Other Song I’ve Written. During Lockdown I Was Trying To Challenge Myself To Get Out Of My Comfort Zone With Songwriting To Stop Using The Same Chords That I Find Myself Always Resorting To And To Try Different Melodies That Might Seem Weird Coming From Me. I Bought A Super Super Shitty Nylon String Guitar Online Just To See If It Would Make Me Play Differently Or Spark Something In Me That I Wouldn’t Typically Think Of While Playing My Usual Instruments. So I Think That’s How This Song Came About. The Guitar Shop Next To The Studio We Were Recording In Let Us Borrow This Really Nice Expensive Nylon String Guitar They Made It Especially For Us To Record The Song And I Ended Up Giving It Back To Them After The First Take Because I Missed How My Shitty Nylon String Sounded. I Feel Like It Made The Song Sound More Like How It Was When I Wrote It." —via Consequence
