Story behind "Too Far Gone":
The main concept of this song, Too Far Gone, was written back in 2016. Adam Christopher and I were in the studio for a week, mining for ideas. I remember when we stumbled on the vocal hook that I was legitimately stunned. A lot of times, we write songs based on an emotion or phrase, and this song just came screaming in from nowhere… As I sat at the piano and played the chords, I started singing “Too Far Gone” and we both knew something important had emerged. I actually asked Adam to leave the room for a little while as I tracked the piano part… I turned off the lights and just let all my emotions come out.

We tried to take the authenticity of that question, “are we too far gone” and create a story around it, make it larger and more high stakes, but it just felt too dramatic… so the song sat for a couple years. I thought of it often, knowing that it held something special for me.

Then I met Svrcina. I knew her voice was the right choice to carry the message. We sat down together and peeled back all the unnecessary layers of the song, arriving once again at that core question… and then things got personal. I realized where the song came from, born out of a really trying time in my life with health issues and isolation, and so the song become an allegory for that. Simply, an emotional representation of being at a low point and wondering how to take the next step… whether to call it quits, pack up and move on, or to continue fighting for whatever it is you are after.

Lyrics:
I should have seen the warning
This heavy weight inside my chains
I should have told you sooner
Thought that I could wait instead

Can we stay here together
Waiting for answers
And figure out which way we should go

Is it out of our hands or
Do we still have the chance if
We hold on till the last of our hope

Can we come back from this
Can we come back from this
Put the pieces back where they belong
Can we come back from this
Can we come back from this
Are we (Are we too far gone)
Too Far Gone
Too Far Gone
