“I wrote Shadow’s Den early one morning. I started messing with the melody on
guitar when the first verse came to me. It’s a cheating song but unlike most bluegrass
cheating songs this is from the point of view of the person cheating. I wanted to capture
the feeling of something happening in the heat of the moment and the regret that
follows. I think we’ve all been there at some point in our lives, whether it’s something we
want to admit or not, and I drew from that. Not necessarily cheating on your spouse or
loved one, but being in the wrong place and wrong time and not doing anything to
change your situation.”
