Years ago (how many doesn't matter) Delta Spirit drummer Brandon Young was buying a pack of cigarettes at 2:30 in the morning and heard some guy singing and playing guitar down by the trolley tracks, but what was unusual about this guy was that he actually sounded pretty good, so he got the guys phone number. That guy was Matt Vasquez, the guy you hear singing on this song. When Brandon's band broke up, he contacted Matt, who was living with five other guys in a two bedroom apartment. It seems like when most people on the internet retell this story they embellish it a little, saying Matt was homeless, but he wasn't, but I guess it's fun to think of the story that way if you want.

This song obviously alludes to this history.

It's also obvious why I like this song: it's joyous, loud, inspirational, and tugs on that place in your chest that makes you want to stand up and sing along, or at least just pay attention. However, this is one of those albums that suffers from that typical album tradition of putting the best song on the album as the second song. The rest of the album never lives up to the promise of this song, and that is too bad, because an album full of songs this good would have made this album an instant classic.

As it is, this is the one really good song, and now you've heard it.

Site Note: Due to having issues with my websites showing up in Google search results for things I do not want my websites showing up in Google search results for, I've removed all of them from every search engine. This means that search box that was over there on the side won't work anymore, but you don't really need it anyway, so I've removed it. Eventually I'll add it back with a normal search function.
