Thomas - This song in my recollection was one of the last pieces of the puzzle when first writing the original demo versions of these older tunes. Tim and I used to prank call people from the telephone book back in High School, and Orville Wilcox was a repeated call back for us, and we actually had him convinced we were an old friend named “Ted Rogers, back from 91’”.

Andrew - One day when I showed up to practice to finish writing a new song (that would become this song) Tim and Thomas told me that they had called Orville earlier, but his wife had answered instead. Gravely, she informed them that Orville had passed away that week and that a memorial service would be held shortly. They had told her that Ted would be attending and wished her well. We knew we had to honor Orville, so we named this song after him. The song has a lot of the classic building blocks of our songs: lots of pull-offs, see-sawing sung melodic parts and screamed heavy parts, and a short bridge leading to a straight-forward hammer over-the-head ending. When we wrote this it seemed like we had found a bit more of our voice.
