Vocalist/guitarist Paul Visser comments on the track: 

"This is a song about admitting you're scared of something and doing it anyway. We actually tried it as a full band arrangement but it never really clicked until we stripped everything out and it became a simple acoustic track."

BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE have a busy summer of live shows, including a tour with Ravenface and a one-off show supporting Skunk Anansie at London's O2 Brixton Academy.

Having played alongside heavyweights such as Biffy Clyro, Editors and Skunk Anansie and with a dedicated, growing fanbase, BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE demand your attention.
