The song is brimming with a lush, intricate instrumental arrangement, as lead singer Wes McGee effortlessly sets the stage with his expansive, mesmerising vocal range—an ideal complement to Bonneville’s tender, evocative lyricism. The group’s undeniable synergy is crystal clear, as soulful vocals, delicate, shimmering guitar strings, and irresistibly head-bopping percussion come together in perfect harmony, delivering one of the most memorable and standout tracks of their captivating sophomore album.
The group break down the track’s creative process’, narrative and themes, with singer and co-songwriter, Wes McGee explaining “I was in the middle of a breakup and Jeff saw what I was going through while processing the shame and guilt of the way I conducted myself in the relationship. I think he wrote it to pick me up and get me back in the game of life”. Guitarist, co-producer and co-songwriter, Jeff Hayashi adds “We’ve all been there and it just flowed out. I wanted to convey empathy and encouragement. This is one of our brighter, happier, and uplifting tracks on ‘Flying Machine’ It’s more in the vein of overcoming strife rather than being mired in it. I hope listeners, especially those going through any kind of loss, find it helpful in transitioning out of sadness and into the light.” McGee expands on this further, adding further “I hope people relate to this song by having faith that the dark times are short and you’ll be fine in the end if you take the time to heal.”
