“From the First Note” is one of the first tracks that We Came As Romans released since the August 2018 tragic passing of singer Kyle Pavone.
“We wrote ‘From The First Note’ as a promise to Kyle to not only preserve the amazing moments and memories we had together, but to continue carrying on the legacy of everything we built together,” says bassist Andy Glass. “The video portrays the band playing in a dream-like state, surrounded by beautiful colors and flowers. Our albums throughout the years have had themes of roots, branches, and overall growth. So we felt it was only right to create something that not only captured that essence but persevered it as well.”
“‘FTFN’ is a song that celebrates the time that we got to spend with Kyle and acknowledges how truly remarkable of a brother and bandmate he was,” says guitarist Joshua Moore. “Lyrically, I was able to reference ‘To Plant a Seed and ‘Tracing Back Roots,’ -which were both written about the start of the band and how we lived together. I was able to take Kyle’s recorded vocal from ‘TPAS’ and fit it into the bridge of the song, so we can always hear him when we listen and play it.”
TO PLANT A SEED 10TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR SET FOR MARCH & APRIL 2020
We Came As Romans will also be celebrating their 2009 album, To Plant A Seed, by embarking on a 10th anniversary tour. The band will have support from The Devil Wears Prada, Gideon, and Dayseeker.
Moore has shared his thoughts about the time since the album’s release, “Being able to watch our fans connect with us through music over the last decade has been an amazing privilege, and it all started with To Plant A Seed. Way back in 2009 when we recorded it, we had no idea where it would take us or what we were really even doing, and it’s awesome to see that we can play these songs still, and feel that connection with you.”
With the band now working on their fifth album, Moore has also indicated that these early songs are heading for the “vault of old WCAR” and are planned to be retired from future setlist after this tour.
