Taking Back Sunday's Fantasy

Posted in Bands on June 30, 2023

Or make that Fantasy's Taking Back Sunday, but we like the other headline better.

But getting to the point, the long-running Taking Back Sunday shared a new song yesterday, "The One," the first new music from the band in four years.

The new song comes along with news that the band has joined Fantasy Records, 

"The One is a sweet love song—full on John Cusack holding a boombox," the band says via press release. "We’ve been waiting a long time to share this song and we’re so excited that we finally can. We hope you love it as much as we do," adding: "This song came from a riff that Shaun Cooper wrote the day he lost his grandmother while she was in a nursing home at the start of the Covid pandemic. Devastated with overpowering sadness, he found comfort in writing music and initially titled the riff ‘Posivibes’ in an effort to find some light through the darkness. He never shared the story of the title or how that riff came together with us until after it was complete. Shaun didn’t want his story affecting the ultimate meaning of the song, because it’s actually an uplifting one."
