Behind the Song:
Ryan Clark:
“I have obsessed about the perceived legitimacy of Demon Hunter since day one. There were times when playing live shows seemed like a necessity to validate us as a ‘real thing’. I’ve lived with a sense of fear that we might not be seen in the same light as other, more active bands. As I get older and priorities begin to shift dramatically, I can feel these fears dissipate.
There will always be a part of me that is concerned with the band’s perception in this regard, but it’s no longer a focus. Not only have I found a sense of comfort in whatever the future holds for Demon Hunter, but when I look back, I’m amazed and humbled by what an incredible journey it’s been.

This was the first song I wrote for Outlive."
