The track, following in the footsteps of certified-hit rock ballads from the band’s catalogue such as ‘Scars’ and ‘Leave A Light On (Talk Away The Dark)’ showcases the melodic, emotionally vulnerable side of their songwriting, while retaining the intensity and honesty that have defined their career for over two decades.
