This was the first of many songs I worked on with Sleeping At Last. I emailed Ryan O’Neal out of the blue (we had never met) and told him I’d love to write something for his upcoming album, and he was kind enough to say yes. He told me they were having trouble calling this one done, and to just run with my instincts on it. This ended up being a game of keeping the strings as a background texture, and just swelling in on occasion where you would usually put a cymbal swell.
