After endless requests, Waiting On The Phone was released 2007-05-20 in a cold warehouse at Møhlenprize. The drums and vocals where recorded at Verftet by Jocko Records Portable. The guitars, basses, pianos and some background vocals where recorded at Jocko Records Studios, Bergen.
We spent a lot of time searching for the ultimate power ballad sound, at with a lot of reverb we came pretty close. The song is dedicated to the study hall lady.

Trivia:
- Waiting On The Phone was originally written as a gay show number for SV-revyen 2007, with the lyrics “I’m sitting in the darkness in my room, I feel so lonely I’ll never be your groom”.
- In the "old version", the melody on the verse was identical with melody in the chorus, but we changed it for the better.
- The “oooh” in the fourth verse was not intended to be there, we just found it on top of the lead vocal track during the mixing session.
- The drums where recorded at a part electric, part acoustic drum set
