The Amity Affliction haben zwei neue Songs veröffentlicht. Bei „Midnight Train“ und „Don’t Wade In The Water“ handelt es sich um B-Seiten des aktuellen Albums „Everyone Loves You… Once You Leave Them“ (Albumreview), das im Februar erschienen war. Zudem sind diese zwei Songs sehr persönlich für Screamer Joel Birch. So sagt dieser über ersteren:
“Midnight Train came about from Ahren (Stringer, Vocals/Bass) just singing ‘midnight train’ in amongst some other garbage when he did the scratch track for me to get an idea of how he wanted to sing the chorus.
We wrote the entire song around those two words, which wasn’t actually hard because there was some context to it. It follows an arc of my relationship with my wife, ending where we are today. We’ve known each other for 25 years and the song covers some key moments for both of us.”
Und über „Don’t Wade In The Water“:
“It’s song about my mother and father and the role the church had in separating them, and then the role that the church and religion played in my later life. Obviously, it is a play on the old hymn sung by Ella Jenkins, which is a beautiful, beautiful song. I wanted to contrast that with my own personal experience, which was disenfranchising to say the least.
There is a conversation happening within the song between my mother and father which is tumultuous and emotional, with two opposing sides with two opposing ways of viewing the world, and I really feel like it was captured well with the music. Ultimately, it didn’t make the cut, but I honestly like this song as much as all the songs that made it to the record.”
