You probably know this, Dany wrote this song at age 15 as a homework assignment while attending Berkeley School of Music. She was feeling homesick at the time!!!🔥⚡️
I am a minister in Canada and I have read Dany's lyrics to a few people wrestling with depression and a few others feeling very lonely - one of whom was in her 90s. All of them remarked, "Yes! That's what it's like. How did she know?" To be able to put an intimate moment of vulnerability into her song when she's feeling abandoned is a gift. Thank you, Dany, for daring to share so others can heal.
@@RichandTheWarningthey start it now with just Dany singing by herself. Alone. lol. Then the band comes in on verse two. Check out the Teatro Met version
@@RichandTheWarning as was said, Dany starts almost acoustically. It's very simple all the way through the first verse and gives the audience a chance to sing along. It hits harder, because it's laid bare for the opening.
And at the 10th Anniversary concert, Dany plays this all alone, just her and her guitar, alone on stage with 8,000 fans in the audience. She also talks while strumming. It is a magical moment. I always tear up as it is a very personal song to Dany. And who hasn't felt alone at some point in their life?!
Written by Dany who was very homesick while TW attended the Summer Program for Kids at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. It is such a fan favorite and so personal to Dany that they still play it at concerts.
I was super luck to hear them perform this song last April in Manchester. AFAIK it was the only time they played it on their most recent European tour.
@RichandTheWarning there was a vlog series posted by the Ellen show that has since been reposted on RUclips about their time in the school and near the end you see Dany crying as she's homesick. I assume that was around the time she wrote this song.
This is a great example of a song that doesn’t have to be technically complex to be a great song. It shows influences of 90s-00s pop-punk brilliance. Almost a ballad if it wasn’t so punchy. I was going to go through every song you do and say it’s my favorite just to see if anyone notices, because we know that’s how it works.
Thank you for covering some of the older songs. This one is a crowd favorite. Teatro CDMX 2022 is a great full band version. If you have not seen it, here is a solo acoustic version in their hometown last October. ruclips.net/video/mSJe0iOhksU/видео.html

Yea!!! My home state and the best music college in the world 🎉
I actually did not know that. Until I read it in the comments. That’s so awesome. This is such a beautiful piece of art.

More, she had been struggling with the assignment for several days. This was written, IIRC, the night before the song was due.
I like that Dany changed the opening. While I like this version, the way they play it now feels more fitting.
Oh. How do they play it now?

Suena más a grunge. Alice in chains o algo así

It’s my pleasure. I love this song now. I was rocking out to yesterday on the way to the post office. Full volume. Singing along. It’s great.
No backing vocals in this song either, it is just Dany all alone, although the others are still playing their instruments.
I love this song more and more every time I listen to it.
