“I felt alone, scared, and confused. During that time, music is what helped me through it. Listening to different artists and their songs touched me, in a way, and helped me to not feel alone.” - Gabriella Verdugo
"It was a cold March in Montreal, and the months of isolation had really started to skew our perception of things - it was hard to think rationally about our lives and where things were going. I had also just read novels by Charles Bukowski and Kurt Vonnegut, and I was over thinking and constantly on edge," - Collin Steinz, Flara K
“I was thinking about how a person's life can appear from the outside to be so settled, ideal, in the right place, while on the inside they may be struggling, drifting, gone awry. This sort of thing tends to be exacerbated by our suddenly very isolated lives, when all we get to see from our friends and loved ones is an idyllic representation that we're fed through social media. Not everyone is comfortable sharing their fears and struggles in the public forum. So this song is just an acknowledgement of my own fucked-up-ness at that time, and also a reminder to really check in with your friends, because they may be having a hard time, despite appearances.” - The Silo, Autogramm
