I’m surprised at how quickly people caught that. That’s definitely the vibe I was going for. “Yeah, except Dad does the little kink with the pick on the on the strings, and I do a little phaser pick slide. Is the ending to Don’t Back Down a quote from Van Halen’s So This is Love ? The album has quite a few Easter Eggs for fans. I didn’t expect it to resonate with so many people.” ”A bunch of Van Halen fans were like, 'This was the closure I needed.' You can relate the song to any type of loss anyone has ever experienced, so the comments on the video are beautiful and heartbreaking, like 'I just lost my dad and I heard the song on the radio and it really touched me. I know there are some people who are like, 'he’s just using this,' but I love my dad and I just wanted to show everybody. There was no ill intent behind it, that’s for sure. It seemed right thing to get that out there as a tribute for Pop and have it all go to his favourite charity, Mr Holland’s Opus. It’s a bit to the left of the core sound of the album, but I think it fits still. ”It certainly wasn’t the first song I was planning on releasing. It seemed right thing to get Distance out there as a tribute for Pop and have it all go to his favourite charity, Mr Holland’s Opus I’d been working on my music for so long, and with somebody as important as that in my life not being around anymore, it just seemed right.
In terms of releasing it, it just seemed like the right thing to do. ”Yeah, performing it is a whole different thing. It must be hard performing Distance on TV when it’s such an emotional tribute to your dad. For it to resonate with a bunch of people has been really awesome.” I really didn’t see it winning this many people over so soon, or at all, really. ”We’ve got four songs out and people are really stoked about it. How do you feel about the reaction to Mammoth WVH so far?
