Fitting into the rock opera’s setting at a fictional college campus, “CCF (I’m Gonna Stay with You)” tells the journey of character Beolco and comes with an animated video with motion design by Jayla Smith and Michael Speed. “I get stuck in my head,” sings Will Toledo. “Most of what memory tells us is/ Watch out, that shit will hurt us’/ Like I never forget every lover, ranked from worst to best.”

“Beolco is a student of Parnassus University, a college founded in ages past by a famed playwright known as the Scop,” the band explained in a statement. “Beolco is deeply fond of both the college and the Scop, believing himself to be spiritually connected or reincarnated from the playwright. He yearns for confirmation of this secret belief.”
