Insane that this version of the song got me through one of the hardest winters of my life It was almost a decade ago, the first Christmas after my great grandmother passed. First year we all spent without her in it. I had taken a job up in the mountains doing volunteer wood cutting and roadwork to help fight back the California fires. It was a particularly tough weekend to be there because I had to miss my best friend's wedding, but loves depended on it. We're up hours into the mountains and it'll be about 3 weeks till the charter home so anyone there is stuck there working to live. So I loaded up my MP3 with as much music as I could find. One day it's raining harder than all the others, and I'm standing on the side of a mountain freeway DRENCHED in water head to toe holding a "roadwork ahead" sign praying that if the fires don't get to us a car won't hit me either. And I don't know what did it but at some point.this came on when it was just me by myself in the pouring rain thinking if home and something about it just kept me going. Had it on repeat a few times. Something about the song itself and the genuineness of the characters just struck a cord and it never really went away.

This is like listening to glass in a garbage disposal...and I absolutely can't get enough of it.
Sometimes the most magical things are the ones with imperfections
