First and foremost - this band is the real deal. They're even better live than CD. I've seen them in little hole in the wall bars and at a festival - and BOTH times the blend of their voices hit somewhere deep inside you. You get the instant chills. The musicianship is on point every time. They love what they do and it makes you love watching them.

On to song interpretation. They're that good of a band that this song could mean multiple things to multiple people. The most common thing is love - a broken relationship that ended. It could be just a relationship in general - parent, friend, or love.

The singer went through a relationship or a period of time that was obviously rough. The person on the other end of the relationship took a lot out of him. This is his way of saying that when that person left - everything got better. 'Then came the morning' is the perfect title.

Without talking in circles I think this song is a poetic way of giving a big ol' middle finger to the other person in a relationship that ended. In the beginning, it's everything they robbed him/her of and by the end it's that they're fine and better off without them.

"When the sun breaks the cold, run towards the light I thought you stole. Start to feel what I felt way before you broke down my front door, wiped my heart up off the wooden floor. Now I don't need your smile anymore"

That's a giant I don't need you anymore and despite all the crap you put me through - because with the morning, comes a new days - a day without you, a better day.
