Background
editAndrew Marlin said the following about the song "Blue Ruin" on their website, which he wrote about the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting:
"I was thinking about all those kids who wouldn’t be there on Christmas morning. People can get so heated and so serious about change and addressing gun violence when something that traumatic happens, but a month or two afterwards, they've all cooled down and it's not in the forefront of their thoughts anymore. But two years later, those kids still aren't around on Christmas morning and their parents are still dealing with that."[2]
