Singled Out: To Speak of Wolves

To Speak of Wolves frontman Gage Speas and drummer Phil Chamberlain tell us about "Je Suis Fini" from their brand new album "Find Your Worth, Come Home," which hits stores today. Here is the story:

Gage Speas "Je Suis Fini" was one of the first songs we wrote for our new record, "Find Your Worth, Come Home." One of the memorable things to me about this track is that I recall wanting to change the chorus when we were in the studio, but I was having major writer's block at the time. Later I was taking a shower and it came to me right away, so I scrambled out of the shower and wrote it down as fast I could so I didn't forget, haha.

We ended up choosing this track to make a video for because we felt it was a really good representation of the record as whole. Lyrically, the song is about finding your worth and rising up. Also of note is that this is the first song I ever really sang on and the end result is a good mix of both singing and screaming.

Phil Chamberlain: Musically, "Je Suis Fini" was built off of a few riffs our guitarists and Aaron and Corey had written. We worked on it in our practice space for a few days with each member of the band having a fair amount of input, which is different from some of the other tracks on the album where one particular person had a specific vision for the way the song should go and took the reigns for that particular song. The end result is one of our favorite tracks on the new album!

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album right here!
