This track is about constantly changing yourself to meet expectations until you lose sight of who you really are, and the moment you decide to stop pretending and finally be real.more

I’ve always wanted to write a song about the profound impact that humans have made on the planet, and I thought the best avenue would be through heavy metal! The music for this song came together very quickly, and I really wanted to focus on putting together something structured, catchy, and memorable; this is very different from the more progressive way I typically like to write music.more

I wrote this song after my cat, Mama, died a few months ago. She was my best friend for almost half my life, and I miss her terribly. Sitting down with my guitar helps me grieve and get my feelings out the best way I know how, and this is the piece of music that came out as a result of that. When you listen to this song, my hope is that you’ll get a sense of how close our bond was, and I hope it’ll make you want to hold your pets a little tighter; you will never get this much unconditional love from anywhere else.more
