Father's Collapse Sparks The Song
- Kevin Morby describes a family dinner where his father collapsed and was taken by ambulance.
- That night they found an old photo of his dad which felt like it was 'talking' to the incident and seeded the song idea.

- Kevin conceived a series called 'This Is A Photograph' while flying to France, imagining poems as photo-less images.
- The pandemic pause later returned him home and reframed those fragments into a song rather than a book.
Quarantine Jams Yielded The Riff
- During quarantine Kevin and Katy Crutchfield did weekly Instagram live shows which kept them playing and experimenting.
- Playing a Silver Jews riff repeatedly accidentally led Kevin to a new guitar part that became the song's backbone.
