SS: ‘An Open Letter To Myself’ is obviously a very personal song, but can you talk me through the story behind it?
Sam: Yeah, I wrote it and essentially it’s a letter to me from my friends. When I’m on tour it’s difficult to keep up relationships with friends so ‘An Open Letter...’ was everything that I wanted to write for them just for them to understand how I felt as well as saying how they felt. Summing it up in a song and sort of switching it around. They’ve all heard it and think the song’s cool so I think it’s served its purpose.
