In the last summer months of recording the album, I spent a couple weeks with a phone that wouldn’t charge properly. I later identified my charger as the problem. Anyway, being cut off from the constant stream of information we now call reality, allowed for this song to emerge. Circular themes in my life became more apparent, as they do every now and again, in cyclical patterns. The trick is to notice them, which I probably wouldn’t have if my phone was working all summer. Jae and Sarah killed the background vocals.
