Come On In is a track that was mostly improvised on guitar in my kitchen. The lyrics came later, but put into place exactly what a few personal struggles can feel like coupled with isolation. I honestly wasn't going through the best time, to put it lightly.
But I always loved this song for its kind of visceral nature. Like a total anger that the guitar chords give to the whole thing. I liked that, and that also sometimes anger can be the most healthy reaction to process something difficult.
When recording it I wanted the song to sound huge, like a short but violent punch to the gut, like the guitars are ripping through the speakers. The bass at the end spirals as I'm lyrically inviting listeners into this emotional landscape.more
