Yes, _ _ _ it's kind of weird actually think we wrote this one for heartache and it was never finished in time Yep, right
so we kind of had like this half _ half finished tune kicking around for like two years and it just kind of
_ Fell in everything fell into place when we were writing a daylight _ we tend to do that.
Yeah _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Yeah, we _ think the whole like pre-chorus and
_ In chorus actually wrote on an acoustic guitar just kind of messing around
Really a little papoose.
I think around tour.
We're messing around those riffs and guys kind of liked it
So just try to find some
_ Some you know pick some metal riffs to kind of piece around it to kind of turn into a kill switch song
Yeah started off as just this little acoustic thing _ _
thought it'd be kind of cool to have a completely different kind of song because most choruses are like
_ _ _ _ The _ _ old pretty thing yeah, some little different clean guitars on the chorus, which usually don't do and Adams vocals
That's kind of a _ different
different approach on things twist
