Light This City Week: Day 4

11/20/2008
.
(antiMusic) Light This City release their brand new album "Stormchaser" last week and to celebrate we asked vocalist Laura Nichol and drummer Ben Murray to tell us about their favorite songs from the album. Here they are with today's song "Sand and Snow":

Laura: This song wrote itself. Sometimes I'll wake up at night with a paragraph written, word for word in my head, and I just put it onto paper, and—boom!—it's a song. I feel really lucky when that happens. For this one, I was sleeping in the van on an overnight drive and I woke up from a recurring dream, where this guy I used to know was following me. In the dream, I'm never so much scared of him as I am anxious to avoid him seeing me or finding me. I met him on tour and there were a lot of emotions attached and our story was just like if you had ripped the last part of a story out of a book and thrown it away. I just started thinking about how unfair that was and I thought if I wrote down my dream, it would get out of the bowels of my mind.

The title comes from all the places we traveled together on tour. We would always take walks in whatever city we were in, and sometimes we'd find ourselves walking through sand, and sometimes it would be snow. That's one of the really cool things about tour; you can usually see the extremities of each season within the one month you're out on the road.

Ben: This song is my personal favorite on the record. Ryan wrote the verses while I wrote the intro and choruses, and Brian wrote the ending. What's cool about this song and all the songs on the record is the fact that there is input from every one of us in every son, each riff is written by someone different, and you can't tell. Our styles really blended together nicely in the writing process. I love the intro to this song because it reminds me of Jester Race-era In Flames, totally epic. The verses and chorus are just so catchy, it really plays like a pop song. The trade off solos at the end between Brian and Ryan are amazing. Super blues-y which contrasts nicely with the shredding thrash solos on the other songs. All in all, definitely my favorite track.
