It was July, I had just been on the road for a few months, and I had been living out of a suitcase since January.\n\n\"I had a few hours to spare wherever I was the day I wrote 'The Hole.' I yanked that one out of myself. It felt like people were thumping my back with their palms while I choked. This was me thumping on my own back to dislodge the song from wherever it lived inside me.\n\n\"At the time I wrote it I was in a deep, dark, ugly place with no escape in sight. I was running 5 miles a day in 100 degree weather, hoping I could sweat it out of myself.\n\n\"Sometimes I go dark, and in recent years it’s become more frequent. I don’t use my phone, I’m sitting on thousands of unanswered emails, and my social media sits dormant. When I do this my friends will typically check in on me to make sure I’m okay. I typically just tell them I’m in 'The Hole' and they get it.\n\n\"Same goes for the other way around. If my friends seemingly go missing, I’ll shoot them a text checking in and, if they’re having a hard time, I ask them if they’re in 'The Hole.' It’s an easy umbrella term for a psychological winter.\"\n\nFor more breakdowns of every song on this album, check out the following link: https://tinyurl.com/yc59p27h", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
