Later during the tour Tommy approached Lane and said, " I want to write a song with you ".  Over the following weeks after the tour riffs showed up in Lane's inbox and that song ended up being, "Never Go Back " which is one of the more popular Worldwide Panic songs.

As well it feels great to work with someone who pushes me to be better. I look forward to future recordings as well as tours!! ".
