The music for this song was initially conceived by Jared and Jericho. It was clear from the beginning that the song needed a heavy vocal feature, and Nick Young (Pillars of Autumn) was the perfect fit. This was our first song released as a three-piece band, consisting of only Max, Jericho, and Jared. Lyrically, the song expresses the darker side of a battle for one's own mental health.

This was the first song where Max played no guitar at all - focusing only on keys and synths, while Sid played no keys - focusing entirely on bass. The instrumentation is the most hip-hop influenced song in our catalogue so far, and draws largely from the trap-soul sound that was popular in the late 2010's. 

This song was written in multiple stages before reaching this final form, with the earliest versions being an entirely acoustic song written around 2009-2010. A decade after its initial conception, we shaped this song into a pop-metal fusion masterclass. Inspired by the upsetting and dystopian events that characterized the year 2020, Summer Never Ends was written to evoke peace, freedom, fun, and hope for a better world.
