 “We came across a demo that he originally recorded for his solo album in 2002 . and we’ve had the opportunity to re-work the song and add our harmonies alongside his lead vocal…It was a bittersweet experience to hear all our voices together again. It’s the closest the five of us will ever get to being in a room together again making music.” said the band.
