    I live in Ohio across the Lake from CA of course. One early morning @2005? I heard this song coming from a CA radio station very broken with static but was able to stop and write a couple lines down, I spent the rest of the day online trying to find this song and finally did. This is one of my top 20 songs of all time. I play it on my guitar around the campfire (with credit to Matt) and it’s always a favorite Thanks Matt!

    Text from my son, that saw him last night in Saint John. "Went and seen Matt Mays last night in the village. Gave me goosebumps; unbelievable show. I've heard a couple tunes never paid much attention. Big fan now; he was amazing. Came back for an encore; place was going crazy."
    Well done Mr Mats et al. You impressed, no doubt

    I love this song! I don't know why but it reminds me of driving in my grandfathers farm truck. We were driving through Grayburn Coulee in the Cypress Hills from Reesor Lake to Fort Walsh. It was fall, the forest was golden and the pine trees towered above the golden foilage. For some reason this song takes me back to that time in Southeast Alberta.

    I got the chance to work backline tech at the Budweiser's stage Toronto,Ont for the summer. Had the band sign my Custom painted Jimmy Hendrix Stratocaster Before the show as I couldn't say no to a brother in need of a few bubblies. Long story but Matt would remember me specifically by the joke he made about him being the only one to be wearing his T shirt on that stage. Keep on Rocking in the free world !!!!
