"Sins is probably the first finished song for this album. I demo'd out the whole song in garageband months before we wrote and recorded the album. You can actually hear the demo on the deluxe iTunes version of the new album. We later added a bridge to it in the studio, and it turned out to be a pretty solid ballad on the album. I wrote it about my wife, and the time I spent apart from her after we got married. She's South African, yet was living in London at the time. We spent a whole year on immigration before she could finally move out here. I paint the picture of what it feels like to miss someone you love so much. The relationship really pulled me out of a dark time of my life, so there is a lot of hope in the song, yet still a dark cloak of loneliness. The cities Cape Town and London were both places I visited with my wife, hence the name drops. I wanted to show the idea of new beginnings, with imagery of water. The thought of washing away who you once were, only to begin again."
