Im vergangenen Jahr meldeten sich We Came As Romans mit gleich zwei neuen Songs zurück, nachdem sie bekannt gegeben hatten, dass sie an neuem Material arbeiten. Die Band hatte sich entschieden als Quintett weiter zu machen. In den ersten beiden neuen Songs ging es vor allem um Trauer und den Umgang mit derlei schweren Gefühlen. Nachdem „Carry The Weight“ direkt mit einem Musikvideo erschienen war, legt die Band nun mit einem Video zu „From The First Note“ nach. Gitarrist Joshua Moore sagt über den Song und das Video:
„‚FTFN‘ is a song that celebrates the time that we got to spend with Kyle and acknowledges how truly remarkable of a brother and bandmate he was. Lyrically, I was able to reference ‚To Plant a Seed and ‚Tracing Back Roots‘ – which were both written about the start of the band and how we lived together. I was able to take Kyle’s recorded vocal from ‚TPAS‘ and fit it into the bridge of the song, so we can always hear him when we listen and play it“
Und Bassist Andy Glass fügt hinzu:
„We wrote ‚From The First Note‘ as a promise to Kyle to not only preserve the amazing moments and memories we had together, but to continue carrying on the legacy of everything we built together.
The video portrays the band playing in a dream-like state, surrounded by beautiful colors and flowers. Our albums throughout the years have had themes of roots, branches, and overall growth. So we felt it was only right to create something that not only captured that essence but persevered it as well“.
