“I came up with the song during the summer of 2014. As for most of my songs, they always seem to go a bit unfinished.?? This one was left unfinished until just prior to the recording session in Phoenix. The final part of the song just kind of hit me.?? I guess sometimes you just have to wait for the song to come to you.?? To all the young songmakers out there, just wait for the songs to come to you.?? Don’t try to force it out. Just wait and it will come to you.”
