Surrounded

Chantal wrote this song on the piano. It's a very personal song to her and she finds it hard to sing live because it's so emotional.

The song is about Chantal's first love committing suicide and how he's "all around her" now. Speaking with CBC Radio, she said it was a song about him and about "what it felt like to be told something so horrible." "When I was about 18, the boy I loved as a teenager, he was amazing, he was really an amazing guy," she explained. "Everybody was just kind of in awe of him and he had a lot of phenomenal qualities and, I think, almost too much awesomeness for this world and it ended badly. He had a quick turnaround with, I think, schizophrenia, which led to a psychotic depression. And he found an old antique gun and figured out how to make the thing work and he took his life."

Chantal refers to "the bomb" as being the phone call she got that announced he killed himself, but she said it could mean other things too, like losing a loved one.
