This song was written and recorded virtually during the US quarantine lockdown in March of 2020. The lyrics reflect the trying times we experienced living during a pandemic and offer hope looking forward. The message we want to convey is that we must be there for each other even after the sun has gone down and things are getting dark. This single is the first collaboration between band members from the bands The Blue News and NONA and the first song written virtually between two studios in Nashville, TN and Indiana.
Written and recorded at Studio 2300 Nashville in Nashville, TN and The Break Room in Terre Haute, IN.
James Orn - Vocals, Guitar and Bass Dustin Richardson - Drums and Synthesizer Jeff Winchester - Drums
