I don't believe in album filler songs. But if I were to have any, this song would be it. Early on in the days of SMSM, we didn't have many upbeat songs. Most tended to be on the more melancholic side. After all, one of the phrases I typically use is, "I write sad songs." No One else is a love song. It's happy. And therefore can seem out of place, in my opinion. But in the early days, it was a decent song, so we kept it.
I actually wrote this song in college. My cousin was getting married, and she asked me to play in her wedding. As I was preparing, this song pretty much wrote itself. I was in a band called Broken Folk, and we played this one frequently.
I don't need to go into much detail, as it's your basic love song. To avoid being too cheesy, I tried to bring my own sarcastic personality to it. You'll hear lines like, "I tried to think of clever things to say, but settled for how are you" and, "Throughout the good times and the bad, I may not always like you but I'll always be glad to have you by my side."
It's fun to play. It mixes up the sound from our typical slow, contemplative ballads. It's a song I wrote.
