DARLING (Behind the Track)

I loved writing and recording DARLING
It was so much fun because it painted a clear picture of my trip to New York
Which I loved a lot

I was visiting a friend of mine, and had a wonderful time over there
Just packing up my suitcase between coming back from our first UK support tour
And the start of our KAOS tour in 2018
Was such a good getaway from personal shit I needed to leave behind for a little while
And to be honest, I never really took the time to do something for me
And such a trip was the perfect opportunity

It was so inspiring seeing my friend living there, and experiencing the rhythm of the city
And the mindset of the few people I met there

We wrote DARLING in a session with our friend Sebastian
Who is also known as GEISTHA and does great electronic music
I remember we were working on the verse
When I went to another room, sat down on the piano
Came up with the chorus and told the guys:
"So, here's the thing
We need to plan these two parts together
'Cause I'm pretty sure that this chorus is one of the best I could come up with."
I loved that it worked out

Production-wise, I also love that we went with the long outro
This is something we would do live, but not on record
So, we thought: "Why not? Let's try it
Let's try to get more of the live feeling on record and just go with it"

I hope you have a lot of fun listening to this one
