“Writing songs is hard. Not compared to so many things I suppose, but it’s difficult to create something that you love and then other people love as well.
“…Writing songs for two and a half years in front of video screens
instead of being in the presence of other humans
has been a long, strange trip.
And now here we are,”
frontman Pat Monahan shares.
“It has to start with love. Love that goes into work comes out of work. We love this song, this album, and our fans. Thank you for waiting so long for us. I think it was worth it. AM Gold! Here we go!“
