Songfacts®:

  • The title track of Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats second studio album, "Tearing at the Seams" was the very last song the band recorded for the project. The band laid it down on the very last day that they were in the studio. Nathaniel Rateliff recalled in a video:

    "I think it was the fifth or sixth time that we took it as a five-piece that we got the take. I had to like calm myself down afterwards- it felt like I was short of breath. I'd never felt that sure of something."
