The ones we\u2019re living right now, the ones that slipped away because of different choices, the what ifs, the what wasn\u2019t meant to be, the goodbyes, and the chance encounters that feel divine,\u201d Howard said in a statement about the song, <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/news\/alabama-shakes-share-first-new-song-in-10-years-listen\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">per <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pitchfork<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cThis song is about those threads and how they stretch across time and space, connecting every version of who we are. It\u2019s about letting them come together, letting them harmonize, and realizing that goodbye isn\u2019t really goodbye. It\u2019s more like I\u2019ll see you later. A collective story that never stops unfolding. I\u2019m glad we opened this door into this reality of us making music together again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- inlinecontent_2 --> <\/p>\n<div class=\"grid-x articles-inline-insert\" id=\"inline-related-articles\">\n<ul class=\"articles grid-margin-x flex-container flex-dir-column\">\n<li class=\"grid-x grid-padding-x\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"auto cell copy-container noimage\" href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/alabama-shakes-2025-tour-announcement\"><b class=\"title\">Alabama Shakes take reunion on the road<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"grid-x grid-padding-x\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"auto cell copy-container noimage\" href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/alabama-shakes-brittany-howard-announces-solo-album-sh-1835850559\"><b class=\"title\">Alabama Shakes&#8217; Brittany Howard announces solo album, shares first single<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p><!-- admarker --> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alabama Shakes first reunited late last year during a surprise set in Tuscaloosa.
