This is a deeply personal song for the band as is deals with the loss of Steve Kinley, the Band's original singer and bass player. It has a powerful vocal track from stayMellow, with fantastic harmonies and great guitar work from Brian Petch aka "Barb". The song focuses on the difficult point of loss and grief and how people try to move on from possibly the biggest change for family and friends. The track was recorded at Whitewood Studios in Liverpool and produced by Rob Whiteley and Paul Kinley. The track has a softer feel and it draws on the band's progressive rock influences but this makes it a standout piece in their discography. The song is instantly recognisable, with a pure "RISE" feel.
