"Mourning" came off Tantric's self-titled debut and went out on Maverick as the album's third single in October 2001. The writing credit is shared by singer Hugo Ferreira, lead guitarist Todd Whitener, bassist Jesse Vest and drummer Matt Taul, and the track is the band's signature move in miniature: an acoustic-driven sound with heavy electric riffs stacked on top, squarely in the post-grunge and alternative rock lane of the day.
Ferreira's raspy, deep baritone carries a song about the aftermath of a broken relationship, all loss and regret and the hard work of finally closing the door. Melancholy but anthemic, it became one of the tracks people know the band by.
