It was about a year ago and … Maybe a little longer.
And it was kind of a crazy time.
The election was going on.
Socially, there was a lot of division.
The country was kind of at a weird place.
I remember waking up and not feeling great about anything.
It just was a stressful time.
So I went to the studio kind of down and out.
And my buddy, Brandon Burnett who’s one of the writers of the song came in and he’s
like, “Dude it’s crazy."
"I’ve been feeling the same way."
"I started writing this verse."
"What do you think of this?”
I know it’s ugly turning on the news (singing).
That part.
The idea was just to have something that people could escape for a few minutes and just make
themselves feel better.
It’s a sentiment everyone can relate to which is having somebody in their life, whether
that’s a significant other or a family member.
It’s just about finding that somebody who brings out the best in you, who makes you
a better person, who’s there through all the shit times and all the great times.
The takeaway is you know, go and find that person.
I mean I think this issue with gun control is kind of a major problem right now obviously.
And it’s one of the things you can’t not see that’s all over the news.
It’s an unfortunate reality that we have to deal with.
And you know, something we deal with on a daily basis.
And not just stuff like that but like the election too was like another thing where
it just evoked and brought out division.
In a big way.
You know you just feel like you’re drowning in it all.
Like it’s all you see.
And I think nowadays too, we’re so consumed with media and everything and how, you know,
we can’t turn away from it.
Sometimes it’s just nice to look over and know you got somebody on your team.
I think you’re probably just more naturally a little more selfish in your 20s.
You wanna do stuff that’s all about you.
And you wanna do things without thinking twice about them.
And it’s just kind of like a time in everyone’s life, I think, where you’re just still figuring stuff out.
I met somebody who sort of made me sharper and kind of did a little bit of tinkering.
Now I feel like I’m this dude that I’m super super proud of.
For every happy moment, there’s somebody else, they’re suffering somewhere else.
It’s just highlighting that there is darkness in the world.
Yeah my girlfriend, she just knows me so well.
She knows me like the back of her hand.
So like if I come home for instance, and like, just the way I think I put my bag down, she’s
like, “Yeah he needs a minute."
"He’s gonna need a few minutes.”
Those things are hard just to read people and gauge where they’re at and what they
need in that moment.
She’s a very just giving person and selfless.
Completely selfless.
