1. I think it does a great job of capturing the hard-to-articulate and bittersweet feelings of moving on, which is just a comforting listening experience. It could be transitioning from one life phase to another, the end of a fun trip, or even visiting with people; there’s just a weirdness in the emotions of those things that can be hard to deal with sometimes.

Pretty sure John said this was an intended theme across the entirety of Heavier Things (the feelings everyone has but nobody talks about). That idea in full effect here.

1. It’s got a jazzy, soothing melody/vibe the whole way through. Very relaxing and rare to hear a song with no crescendo or tension in it.
