Here is the acoustic version of a new song called “The Good Mourning Sun.” We can not wait to finish the full band version of this. We’ve already begun to translate it into an official RtS song, and it’s already taken on a new form that is totally rad. Although this video has a very folk-y feel, the full band version is very dark and ominous…which in my mind equals great. Enjoy.

For those of you who read past the video and intro paragraph…I’ll fill you in on a secret. The overall mood and idea of the song was strangely inspired by Stephenie Meyer’s vampire Twilight saga. Yes, I am almost 29, and a man. But for whatever reason I found the dark themes of these books to be very compelling. Although the song isn’t necessarily about the books, I wrote this song while reading the first 3. That’s embarrassing. But true.
