Song DescriptionA cinematic trip hop pop song about the struggle between indulgence in love and maintaining independence. The beat drives the strings and the chord progression comes from a guitar being finger picked but then reversed. The beats are mainly influenced by group called "Lamb" and the song echos of teardrops.
Story Behind the SongTHe song written in a unisex way so that anyone can identify with it. I was dating a girl at the time that i was madly in love with but wanted to resist being sucked into the confines of a relationship. The "evening sentries" refers to the dogs that barked all night long which periodically woke me up and made me cuddle closer to my girl.
