"This was the first song I wrote for the album. It was written in a hotel room at the end of the Two Suns tour. It sounds most like the old stuff to me. I wrote it on an autoharp in a hotel room. When I brought it back, what moved it into the realm of the new album was [co-producer] David Kosten and I working on this Rihanna-y, Lil Wayne style snare beats, thinking of Snoop Dogg. I was really exploring my voice, trying out the lower part of my register. The content of the song makes sense that it's the first one, it says I curse the road. It's walking back through my door off this crazy journey and deciding to stay at home in England and not move for a couple of years. I wanted to incorporate a much more English sound on this album. I was looking at the history of the English side of my family and reading a lot of old English authors and romantic poetry. There are quite archaic themes in there."
