Andrew Nelson tells Relix, “The song is a return to traditional folk. We started off as a folk band and wanted to put something out that would be representative of our original sound. Even the recording is a live take around a bunch of ribbon mics. Not only is the song a return to our earlier folk sound it also has the melodic feel of a lullaby. The lyrics are about gaining rest in a cemetery. We wanted a melody that would match the lyrical need for slumber. The title of the song is the name of Andrew’s family cemetery in Mississippi. He has many ancestors buried there.
