When I wrote it, I never thought I’d actually put it on the record because it’s a little more vulnerable. A lot of times, songwriters … we’re truthful but only to an extent in our songs. I played it for a few buddies, and they talked me into putting it on the record. It’s more of a Bluebird song than a 3rd & Lindsley song, but we’re going to try it.

That song is a little more vulnerable and personal. And I know a lot of my buddies who listen to music, they don’t want to hear somebody laying in about their issues. They just want to hear something fun that’s easy to listen to. So that song was a little bit of a risk. I’ve talked about some of the reasons why it took me so long to put out a new record—this song touches on that a little bit. When I hear it now, I don’t hear myself anymore, I just hear a song. People will be looking at me funny as I’m singing it, like, “Man, he’s really putting it out there on this one.” But to me, it’s just another song from the set. Not that I don’t want to still get in that place when performing it and try to authentically be in the moment, but at the same time, once it’s over with, once it’s written, once it’s recorded, it’s almost like it’s not even me anymore in terms of feeling vulnerable about singing it or playing it in front of people.
