In 2021 Local Natives performed a beautiful, sold out, first ‘post-pandemic’ concert at the historic Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. We spoke candidly over our last two LN albums about the dichotomy of how emotional and beautiful that night was; our first concert in almost two heavy years, but also wondering if that was the last Local Natives concert ever as Kelcey was considering leaving the band. Was my band falling apart right as I was also about to become a father? I wrote the main left hand melody the morning after that show. I recorded this song in March 2023 and since then things (in my band & in my life) have changed again and that’s ok. The song meant one thing when I wrote it, another thing when I recorded it, another thing right now and I’m sure it will mean something else to me in the future. A song takes on different meanings, it often evolves over time. This song is my peaceful acceptance of the uncertain future.
