Detroit based rock act We Came as Romans have just released a new video, “From the First Note.” Along with “Carry The Weight,” the track serves as the 1st to be released by the band since the tragic passing of Kyle Pavone in August of 2018.
‘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 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.”
“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 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.
The band will also embark on a 10th anniversary tour, which will be celebrating their landmark album release of “To Plant A Seed.” The tour kicks off on March 5 in Chicago and runs through April 11 in Pontiac, Michigan, and will feature support from The Devil Wears Prada, Gideon, and Dayseeker.
