• Drew Holcomb and Elizabeth 'Ellie' Bannister first met when both were students at the University of Tennessee. They married in 2006. A CCM-folk singer-songwriter, Ellie Holcomb is also a member of Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors. This song was inspired by their marriage. "I'm happily married to my wife, but just like a lot of people, the season of relationships have an ebb and flow," Drew Holcomb told Billboard magazine. "We've been recently in the season of enjoying each other and being married. We're surrounded by a lot of tough things in our own community, and the lines in that song that define it are in the second verse - 'When the harvest is plenty, and it feels like it should, and the fruit is ripe on the vine. But then the rain falls and the flood comes, and it feels like the end of the line' - those are two diametrically opposed metaphors about a relationship, and sometime it does feel like everything is going like you thought it should, and are there are other times that it's not at all what you had in mind."
  
  "But, you weather the storm together," he continued. "It's a promise to her - she'll always be my girl. It's just a simple love song to my wife that I hope will mean something to a lot of other people."
