In a recent track-by-track with Rocksound.TV, Michael Poulson stated that “This is another very deep song. Through life, we go through these ups and downs and sometimes it’s like turning on a switch and it can change from one minute to another. We suddenly get in a sad, emotional mood where there just doesn’t seem to be a way to see the light or good in anything. But we always find a way to make things good again. I’m good at turning those moments around quickly, but that comes with accepting the good with the bad and using the bad moments to grow and learn instead of letting them bother you more that it should and having your mind manipulate reality. The important thing is to realize that while nothing can be good forever, do not let the dark side of life take over. Have the confidence to know there will be better days ahead when we’re dealing with these moments or demons and we’re struggling to find anything good in what we’re doing."
He further added how the effects of his father's passing were still affecting him and his writing. "I’m still struggling with the loss of my father. I would say 80 percent of the time, I’m coping with the loss and doing well. I’m okay with it. But then sometimes I’m falling into these black holes where everything is empty and nothing is fair. I’m so grateful I have kids because when they come into your life, suddenly everything is not about you. It’s about the kids, and you can’t spend too much of your energy being down because they need you. So, it’s been a blessing having kids. It’s the best thing that ever happened to me, and when I think about them, I feel happy. I’m happy every day when I wake up, and I feel happy when I go to bed. And I’m proud that I have a great wife. I have a great life. And suddenly I can see that I’ve been walking around being so egocentric about my own state of mind and life when, really, I have nothing to complain about.”
