Van sick gesproken: Skynd brengt met Chris Watts wat je een ballad zou kunnen noemen. Een erg donkere en emotioneel zware ballad dan wel. Best verrassend na auditieve en visuele uppercuts als Columbine en Michelle Carter. Het laat eens een andere kant van het duo horen. Een sprookje dat helemaal fout afloopt.

"What fascinates me the most about SKYND is the construct of exploration of past atrocities, not as celebration, rather as an investigation of a broken society that needs to be examined so we can grow from it. I live inside an art-filled mind and any opportunity that I can express a concept with a metaphorical lens is a great day. I am lucky to have found similar interests with SKYND and am beyond excited to explore the further reaches of the human condition together."
Lead vocalist SKYND "When I learned about this case in August 2018, this brutal story stuck with me. I felt the need to write about it. But how? The murder of the children made me so sad that I realised it must only become a ballad. I am still extremely upset about this case, because I was able to follow it live, so to speak. I was there watching when he gave the interviews and when it came out how brutal he was. The Chris Watts case brought out a lot of emotions in me. When children are involved, it is always a little bit worse for me to write about. It is a very grim case when you think of all the details. A father kills his children with his favourite cloth. It's so heartbreaking, cruel, and brutal that you can't look away."
