"There is a very fine line between love and hate; being stuck on that line for a long period of time is what inspired me."

Answered by: Christopher Callan

Single title? Take Time

What's the song about? The difficulties of being in a long distance relationship, betrayal, break-up and the best part, moving the fuck on. 

How long did it take to write/record? Went from the acoustic guitar to my computer, to the band, back to the computer and then a finished track over the course of two years. I guess the title is quite appropriate.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? Take Time is from our forthcoming album which is due to be released in Feburary 2016.

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? There is a very fine line between love and hate; being stuck on that line for a long period of time is what inspired me.

We'll like this song if we like... Crowded House on steroids, Twin Peaks, Modest Mouse.

Do you play it differently live? We keep this close to the recording, however we always sound a bit heavier live as I like to turn my guitar up when the sound guy isn't looking.

When and where is your launch/next gig? We are launching Take Time at Jimmy's Den on 4 Sep.
