The song, produced and mixed by Matt Gerhard (Spoon, Future Islands) and mastered by Max Lorezen (Spoon, Shearwater), is taken from their upcoming new album 'Recoil', which will be available on October 1st through Mariel Records. Get it here.
“This song is about overcoming hard times, and even when things seem hopeless they do get better in time. As an optimist, vocalist Geannie Friedman wrote this song when feeling a lot of depression, and people close were also going through rough times. She speaks about bouncing back, and also taking the time to heal while in the process of resiliency. Even when moving forwards, things have the tendency to knock us down. She speaks about the importance of getting back up, and continuing to move forward. We are our own best advocates, and she speaks about this in this song, as well as uplifting others. It’s especially important that when we get back up, we take along our close friends with us. When they succeed, I succeed, We all grow together. No going backwards, only forwards. When it comes to depression, Geannie has had episodes of deep depression, but pulls herself back up again and again. “What will it take to make you happy again?” is a note to self, what will it take? It’s a work in progress.”
