Background
In a press release, "The Borders is Fender's personal favourite song from the new album Hypersonic Missiles. At once deeply personal, traumatic event, Sam tells a story of two boys growing up together and then going their separate ways, the release reads. Memories inferred but not directly addressed. It's a storming tune with a powerful story, as so many of Sam's songs are.”[3]
