One early morning, Shane Allenger found himself scrolling through social media, quietly absorbing the relentless tide of daily news without waking his significant other. The pervasive sadness of the world weighed heavily on him, a stark reminder of humanity’s stagnation amidst its supposed growth. Yet, as he turned his gaze to his loved one sleeping peacefully beside him, he felt a profound sense of solace. This juxtaposition inspired Shane to contemplate how many others share this yearning for a safe haven, reminiscent of Peter Pan’s quest to return to Neverland and his loved ones. Fueled by this emotional reflection, Shane headed to his studio and began writing. By the end of the day, he had crafted a demo, which he eagerly shared with his associate Ben Hudson. Ben’s enthusiastic response confirmed the song’s impact.
