    This song came out what my life started falling apart, not through a break up but from the disease of addiction. 20 years later I'm clean listening to this and having a ponder to all those years of madness. I'm so glad to be back to the person I was always ment to be. If you are reading this and you are struggling, it's never to later to change your life around. Take it easy my friend you are loved

    "We worried when we began this journey, that it'd be a bit nerdy. But it wasnt. And we sincerely hope that all of you have found these rally-bred titans, as amazing as we have. They're cars that put up with all of our nonsense, never once losing their majesty. But there is absolutely no doubt about the real hero of this adventure. The evo died not once, but twice. And both times, it rose from the dead... and soldiered on. And that's why the Evo and its traveling companions are exactly the sort of cars a show like this is honoured to honour. "

      ​@@TheHiddenPart I believe it was actually featured even earlier - during the Rolls Royce Phantom review on the Humber Bridge, I'm certain that's where a young me first heard it and was blown away by the beauty of it. That, I think, was season 2 and so was quite close to the actual release date of the song. I was disappointed that on subsequent broadcasts of that episode, they substituted a different piece of music in (presumably due to licensing challenges)
      I've been wondering what this gorgeous piece of music is for, genuinely, most of my life (I'm 27 and would have first heard it on TG over nineteen years ago), and only found out today. It's a good day. :)
