The way this track and "The Rot" came about is that a potential new collaborator sent me a Spotify playlist of tracks for inspiration, which included my song "Trick of the Light." I put together two verse/chorus snippets that matched the vibe of the playlist as best I could. I figured she'd choose one and I'd develop the other on my own.
She didn't really connect with either, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I ended up with two of my favorite tracks from my upcoming album, Underneath These Dying Stars.
