Talking about "Kingdom Come", The Civil Wars' Joy Williams told EW : <I>"It's our homage to a survival song. And also to trying to keep your cool and stay rational in a ridiculous situation."
The other Civil Wars member, John Paul White, went on explaining about their smooth ballad, "It's a little bit of 'It's going to be okay, it's going to be all right, we're going to make it through this,' even when the situation around you is more dire than you'd care to admit. I think it's how we all cope."
