      I work in Pensions in the USA as a Teamster in Chicago. (if you didn't know this song is about George's dad losing his Canadian pension). I'm proud to say that this song inspired me to go fight the good fight for Teamsters that deserve their money. I once got someone a retro check from 1984 thru current (then 2020). I've also saved a handful of guys pensions for making simple mistakes. I'm talking their pension being yanked for life. And I'm in this career cause of this song.

    Man, I remember the first time I spent the night at my first love's place I played this song for us as we lay together and fell asleep. Now whenever I hear this song I think of that moment and her. It was so peaceful and tranquil.
    I hope she is okay and happy wherever she is in the world right now.

    City and colour fans, myself included, won’t usually say this but Dallas should make more songs in his lower range like thus. In the last 5-7 years he has improved his higher range and vocal agility but we know Dallas can hit those low notes. Yes I know this song was a long time ago and an Alexisonfire song

    *Drop D makes it easier to play power chords because in this tuning you just have to bar the fret
