“It made me really sad to see time and what it does to a material world. I saw both decay and a dying civilization clinging to rebuilding a crumbling empire... but also beauty. “ - Zoon

“Stylistically, I was listening to a lot of Olivia Newton-John and the Bee Gees when I wrote it, and I wanted it to sound a bit over-the-top desperate and indulgent.” - Ellen Froese

“When I wrote this, I was feeling a need to be pushed out of the dark place that I was in, I felt myself thinking ‘don’t accept this from me’.” - Field Guide aka Dylan MacDonald

“Perhaps it’s less of an invitation and more of an acknowledgment of how the things that drive us are not always entirely wholesome or virtuous.” - Declan O'Donovan
