James Maas: We’d been plotting to put together RIP Youth for a year and waiting for the right time to get this together and actually had our first single picked that wasn’t this one but will now be our next..... in the month to come . Writing “You love” with Reigan and Dylan, like all the best songs we didn’t know what was going on that day until we sat down and synced up into a flow state of reading the story we were creating like observers ourselves. We had a few blips of first statements and words that would define what we wanted to say but it felt like a stream of consciousness moment we were all riding the wave of into a place we could all relate which is that life is a long game to play and ain’t over until it’s over, while you play there is no end game that most of us tend to get caught up in. But more of the process and state of mind shift as to your state of satisfaction and “happiness” as we all strive for and have a pre conceived notion of what that will look like / what we think will achieve that. Rarely are people satisfied when they get to that perceived happiness goal as we find that anything outside of ourselves won’t fulfill that magic wand we've made up that is our cure all and we’re done. It’s like If you look at Buddhist monk with a grain of rice and some sunlight, the happiness’s they are able to achieve would trump that of any billionaire I know or any of the things were taught to strive for that will fill the void so we carefully made sure we didn’t sound like we had all the answers because we don’t, it’s very much easier said than done but we somehow made it into a song that didn’t make us sound like preachers or to airy fairy which we certainly are not.
