…while I was back in Tulsa, I ran into a friend and he told me he had an old church in my neighborhood that wasn't being used and if I wanted to pay for the power we could write and rehearse in there. One day in that church I wrote "Surefire." It was December 16th, 2018. Something about that song opened me back up and I ended up writing the majority of the lyrics on this record in that church. I found freedom in the fact that no one could hear me and I could sing and say whatever I wanted, so I wrote about everything. Meeting Natalia, struggling with the monotony of touring, starting to become depressed, addressing unfair expectations, having children, being forced to realize life is something that begins and ends, seeing the world through a better lens, stepping outside my head, slowing down and then learning that although everything goes down it, comes back up again. -
Maxim Rainer, Wilderado
