Although being in the metal genre, on of their biggest hits was a ballad called "Constance"
With the theme of losing a loved one to dementia, “Constance” is mainly attributed to Spiritbox frontwoman Courtney LaPlante. She wrote it during 2020’s coronavirus pandemic. And due to the resultant lockdowns, she was unable to be with her grandmother during her passing, in addition to not being able to attend her funeral. So that’s whom the song itself actually serves as a tribute to.
Meanwhile the titular “Constance” is actually a reference to Constance Hryciuk, the grandmother of Dylan Hryciuk, the director of the track’s music video. She also passed away in 2020. And basically, Spiritbox used the occasion of the release of this song to honor both of these artists’ grandmothers.
