Kill Them With Kindness - Commentary

There was a phrase we kept saying when making this record, it was "Instincts are powerful thing"
And I'm telling you now, in this song, it was all about instincts
We just kept going with the moments, riding the bridge, in the moment I was recording the vocals
Having an instinct when you have hateful people that, that go at you
The instinct is to actually, my instinct is to kill them with kindness

I go hang on a minute, don't go passing your hate over here
And this song has that energy of, it still got that guts to it in the drums
It's got a really strong theme where, Matt in the moment went with his instincts
And started playing the lead guitar theme that you hear in that last chorus
We wanted to sound like Cecilia and free falling and a little bit of fun, the band
And this is what we ended up getting, but besides that
This song had a really organic place
Where it was written from two different concerts that happened in my life
