Last Words presented itself when singer, Jeff Buehner was experimenting with an open tuning on an acoustic guitar, the same as The Rain Song by Led Zepplin. The pre-chorus, “Coins in my eyes, what will my last words be?”, fell into his lap both lyrically and melodically almost instantly. It was such an inspiring thought that the song demanded to be finished. Guitarist Brandon Cook latched onto the idea and composed the intro, middle, and outro.
