Jonathan Gilmore (Nothing But Thieves, The 1975, Charli XCX, Carly Rae Jepsen)をプロデューサーに迎えた、少し寂しい地元愛の歌。
“Our beloved mother of style, Nashville, has gone through many facelifts and small deaths since we first started playing music. From mold covered basements and backyards in 30 degree weather to Kimbro’s Cafe to Exit/In and Basement East, the last half decade and all the city’s changes have been nothing short of bittersweet and exciting. Caught in the eye of a nostalgia wave I had been riding for a few weeks while beginning writing the album, I so often thought of friends, bands, houses that everyone used to party in, and stories upon stories that we all shared for that short lived time in Nashville together. It was a really special and locomotive time.” - Parker Forbes
“During this time, our town, Nashville was changing so quickly that it was impossible to feel at home. New apartments going up on top of old houses we used to play shows in or grew up hanging out at. The places we liked to frequent all of sudden would be gone when would come back from a tour. I think that feeling permeates this song.” - Cole Shugart
