Behind the Song:
Ryan Clark:
“The melody for Patience came to me early one morning while driving. Nearly every vocal melody or guitar riff on any DH record was conceived while alone in my truck. I’ve realized it’s the only time that I’m able to sit, focus, and contemplate for long periods of time without distraction.
I’ve always considered myself to be a patient individual. But in recent years I regularly find myself at the very edge of my breaking point. There are many times that my patience has kept me from doing or saying something regrettable and I consider that a virtue. But there are also moments that I feel I’ve been too patient. I tend to let things roll off my back. This can be freeing, but it has its own consequences. These days, I’m trying to react in a more communicative manner. I can hone my patience when need be, but I’m more conscious that I have a choice."
