The song began with the chorus. I was singing it in kind of a vaudeville style, thought it sounded funny, kinda like a recruiting song or some sh*t. The first verse set the song on a different path, more of a mythological tale that really deals with the fear of loss.
I was looking for a song to do with Shooter and so I went to LA and showed him the song. We worked it out and eventually recorded it for Hard Luck Stories. His voice is f*cking great and the vibe I think really conveys the story and our friendship. Seriously.
Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album and Ike - right here!
