“Starts out with beautiful strings and woodwinds; a great drum beat comes in and then some excellent guitar. Great lyrics, great melodies...”

“Don't know why I like this song so much. I think it's the rhythm. And it makes me think of San Jose at Christmas like 15 years ago... we went to the city middle and there were lots of lights. ”
