The track\u2019s origin story is just as haunting as the video itself: Kid wrote it after a brutal bike accident left him immobile for five months. During that difficult stretch, he also lost longtime friend\u00a0<strong>Julie Long Gallegos<\/strong>, a beloved jeweler and passionate wolf preservationist.
