I actually went to the same school as this kid, and I don't know exactly who this song was for, but I have a pretty good idea.
I could be wrong but...
At the school there was a death a few years back during I THINK homecoming, or another dance or something. (I may be a bit off, it was a while ago)
A kid died that day that alot of kids really looked up to and liked. I didn't know him but I know alot of the older kids really miss him. It was a very sad week. Nicholas "Big Bear" Thayer, I believe was his name.

SP: I’m guessing one of the reasons why people seem to grasp on to “The Permanent Rain” is because the lyrical content is so deep/inspirational. Could you guys explain the backstory behind how that song came about?

Then also, tied in along with that, I have a friend who died in a car accident and it’s sort of a balance of both of them. Like, I wish them the best, and it’s just hard to get through those times, you know?
