In the Monchicon!’s interview, the band members said “Television guitarist Tom Verlaine has a song called Always, so we wanted to write a song called Tom Verlaine too.”

Tom Verlaine was the lead singer of the band Television.

“I love the Television records and I don’t know much about Tom Verlaine, but I read once an interview that he did with someone, it’s sort of like a notorious one where he wasn’t really giving much. There are some moments on the record where I felt like I was trying to channel a little bit of Television, but this song is kind of independent of that. I thought the final piece of the puzzle lyrically was, “You were my Tom Verlaine sitting on the hood.” I just liked him kind of sitting on the hood, squinting, not approving, rubbing his chin on the hood in a leather jacket. It made sense to me, but I hope I’m not demystifying.“ – Molly Rankin, KEXP
