Ejection (Commentary)

So this next song, believe it or not, is actually Welch's favorite song
The day I, so I had made the beat, I had made a loop for the beat
Didn't have any drums or anything, in 2014, no, 2015, yeah, 2015
And when I wrote the song, the words came, and I had remembered

My mind was like a fog cabin, it went straight to that beat
And I said, okay, I need to go find that loop
And so I went and found it, and I added the rest of the beat, the drums, etc
And I, I did the hook, recorded it

And as soon as I finished recording songs, at least in 2016
I would just send them to Welch, text him to his phone, iPhone to iPhone
IMessage would let you do that
So I sent the song to him, and immediately he texted me back

He was like, God was in the room
And that, that's his favorite song to this point
And everybody we played the song for is just like, oh, man
I feel like for me personally, it's Elevators on steroids

Because it's almost like Elevators was more directed to people who didn't believe in you
But I think Ejection is the people who didn't make it with you
Because of uncontrollable circumstance
So it's like, you, you didn't, it's not that you didn't believe in me

Or you was a hater, you just couldn't come
Maybe it's death, maybe it was a broken relationship
Maybe it's other things, but it's things that aren't controllable, you know
So it's like, it's way more piercing, very piercing to the heart, for sure. Ejection
