Wow. I'm at a loss for words. I can only imagine how difficult and painful it's been to deal with a mutual "mission's" termination. I hope that finding a masterfully creative outlet for expressing such complicated feelings and history has alleviated some of the overwhelm. It's truly impressive to read, and I would imagine even someone who didn't know anything about you would feel the same way. Sending you positive energy.

Thanks so much Steve. Things are going better and I think this community, my kids, my friend group, and writing is the trick.

Oh and my weekly therapy appointment.

So good, as expected!

I appreciate and empathize with how you integrated this track into your own personal story. Very well done!

I have no personal connection to this song in the way you describe it, but I remember seeing this song live for the first time, and it instantly turned me into a superfan of TMBG. To this day, whenever I'm still fortunate enough to see them live, I hope that this is on the setlist, as it always turns an amazing show into an unforgettable one. Every time.

Stay strong, sir, and keep writing! You're getting closer and closer to my all-time favorite albums! Cannot wait!

Oh! I got to see them perform this live in June. It is such an amazingly good time for sure.

Thank you for the nice words also. I definitely leaned into the genre of the song this week.
