"'Seven Years of Letters'" is a song by Scottish indie rock band The Twilight Sad. The song was released as the second single from the band's second studio album, 'Forget the Night Ahead'. It was released on 19 October 2009 on Fat Cat Records.[http://www.discogs.com/Twilight-Sad-Seven-Years-Of-Letters/release/1987743 Twilight Sad, The Seven Years of Letters (7", Single) at Discogs] The B-side of the single is an acoustic cover of British post-punk band The Wedding Present, originally from their 1991 album 'Seamonsters'.
Guitarist Andy MacFarlane notes that, "We didn't ever intend to have the first three songs in the order that they were released, that's just a coincidence. This one has a guitar solo and a creaky piano seat."[http://www.theskinny.co.uk/article/97147-the-twilight-sads-forget-the-night-ahead-track-by-track-by-the-band The Twilight Sad's Forget the Night Ahead: Track-By-Track, By the Band] About the lyrics, vocalist James Graham said, "The lyrics in the song revolve around running away from things and people."[http://living.scotsman.com/under-the-radar-guest-blogger/James-Graham-on-the-new.5651997.jp Livingscotsman.com: James Graham on the new Twilight Sad album Forget the Night Ahead]
