Composition


According to Aurora, every song of the EP has a different theme, which she described that there was "a very morbid one, a dreamy one, an animalistic one and then a quite sad one."[1] "Runaway" was released as the lead single of the EP on 7 February 2015 through Petroleum Records.[2] The title track was released as the second and final single of the album. The song has also been adapted to the film Wolfwalkers (2020) produced by Tom Moore. Previous singles "Awakening" and "Under Stars" were included on the vinyl edition of the EP.
