What about it: “The song was written right after losing someone in my deep inner circle that was ruled to be an accident but to me seemed a suicide. I think that in times of despair, people tend to find warmth in darkness which is a trick of the mind as referred to in my favorite line in the song “And then you gimme’ that look / yeah you gimme that look, like your never comin’ back again / like you’ve crawled down into a deep dark hole / and it’s warm like the house of a friend.” A mind is a strange place which can turn dark to darker or vice versa with ease.
Broken Arrow will be out later this month and Overbey is keeping busy in soon after. He is opening for Ameripolitan Female Outlaw Country Artist of the Year Nikki Lane on April 28th and in addition to usual touring schedules, playing Stage Coach and KAABOO del mar
