“We never thought that a song could translate our sound into words like this so well, from beat to voice to instrument. We are in such awe of these incredible artists we are proud to call our family, and the opportunity to all come together on this track”. - The Halluci Nation

“While much of this song talks about the things that I feel I’m on my way to achieving, some of which being those nice-to-have material things - for me, these things are symbolic of something more abstract - a lifestyle that I couldn't fathom prior.” - Haviah Mighty

“I tried to give a moment to every instrument, like solos or bring outs. For example, I did things like giving the Second Violin some moments on their own too. Usually they are there to support and accompany the First Violin, but when the Second Violin player came to look at the music, she thought there was a mistake. She was the only violin playing. I’d have to tell her ‘It’s not a mistake, it’s your time to shine. There’s often been this idea in classical music that one instrument is the chief, the king of all the instruments, and the others are in the background merely supporting.” - Jean-Michel Blais

“‘Flowers’ is a meditation on death—death as essential, awful, tragic, beautiful, mysterious.” - Steph Yates

“When the air in the room suddenly feels like it changes in an undefinable way. It’s a kind of celebration of that certain joyous panic, and the uncertainty that surfaces right after it.” - Ian Devaney, Nation of Language

“My goal was to be as un-Aidan as possible” - Aidan Andrews, daysormay
