How could there be so few comments about this song? It's so meaningful! That and I'm a trumpet player, so, even though it isn't even really about trumpet players, I still feel like a bad @$$ when I hear this song. It's so intense and passionate, too. The last stanza always hits me hard; the way the song states it is exactly the same way I feel about trumpet playing, but more importantly, music-playing.
