• Raised in Upstate New York on the music of the Grateful Dead, Cat Stevens and Bob Dylan, Jay Nash released his fifth studio album Letters from the Lost in 2013, which contained this track which he composed during his travels. Nash told us: "I wrote that song in a stairwell in East Berlin in May of 2012, right before recording the album, following a particularly long drive and soundcheck. I am fairly certain that 100,000 cigarettes had been smoked in that particular stairwell. It made me just a little homesick.
  
  I recorded the guitar and vocal live in one take and the rest of the track is built around it. It's a pretty simple recording. I think that it actually conveys the initial emotion behind the song pretty well and also sounds a lot like a live recording of a group of people playing together in a room. It's a ruse though. Bill Lefler put down a simple loop, beating on a guitar case with his hands. I put down the acoustic guitar and vocal. Next was Ben Peeler, playing an ethereal delay drenched pedal steel, followed by some tasty work on a weisenborn lap steel." (Here's our full Jay Nash interview.)
• The female vocalist on this song is Kyler England, who sang a part that Nash says came "straight from my subconscious." Kyler is best known for her Electronic Dance Music recordings and collaborations with Tiesto.
