We have a new guest joining the show to talk about a more modern song that has had a lot of time in setlists on previous tours, but we don’t hear talked about too much among the fanbase lately. We talk about what makes this one unique among the discography, draw some comparisons to the latest album, and share our opinions about the songwriting, production, lyrics, and more! Is this one of your favorites? There’s also a special treat at the beginning from my daughters and I.

Tune in as we discuss what this song means to us, what it may have meant to Andrew McMahon at this point in his life, and why we identify with the overall theme. Our guest also brings something very personal to the podcast.
