So this song that we're going to play is called Black Vultures.
And it was one of the most fun songs to record.
And we ended up writing the song,
co-writing the song with our friend Brian Vaudeen
from 10 years.
He's awesome.
Love you, Brian.
And we really didn't know what we were going to do that day.
We just decided to set it up because he's a friend of ours
and see what magic could happen.
And on our way to the studio, we found
that it's a congregation of vultures.
It was right in the middle of the road, just eating it something.
And we're like, ah, vultures.
Cool.
That'll work.
That's a good title.
And I ended up lyrically kind of pinpointing the song
and surrounding it around survival.
And not so much survival in the broad stroke sense,
but more of a personal.
Every single day, you go through battles,
and you're fighting that darkness.
And you're not going to let those vultures pick at you
and bring you down.
So this is called Black Vultures.
