Bad Wolves on the Harrowing Story of ‘Remember When’

Музыка

Tommy Vext tells the harrowing story behind Bad Wolves’ ‘Remember When,’ a song inspired by his twin brother, who broke into Tommy’s apartment in 2010 and sent him to the hospital. Vext discusses his process of healing and notes that that incident inspired him to help others by becoming a sober companion. “This song is really like an open letter to him,” Vext tells us.

    Literally almost cried and I saw how after he explained he went into his mind. It still shakes him up a little and seeing him fidgety with his fingers and zoned out broke my heart. I first heard this song at one of his performances and fell in love with it! Now that I know the story/ meaning behind this song I get chills hearing it. 😢💔💕 Not a lot of music comes from the heart these days. Thank you for this powerful move ❤️❤️❤️❤️
