Behind the music…
“It’s classic Zoë Johnston,” explains Above & Beyond. “We’ve been working with her for 22 years, so she’s a part of the band. By that token, a song with her vocals is a very reassuring thing for our audience. It says: Above & Beyond are back, in a very recognizable form.”
“I think most of us can relate to that feeling of desperation and dread when it comes to losing someone we love so deeply. The despair can be massive when you’re watching the grief rattle down the track towards you for quite some time before the moment of impact actually happens. Disappearing into quicksand. It’s scary, it hurts, and it’s lonely. Hopefully a song like this one makes anyone going through the pain of a seismic loss feel a little bit less alone.” – Zoë Johnston
