This song will always hold a special place in my heart. My freshman year of college my dad lost our house and moved 2 hours from home up into the city, I broke up with my girlfriend who I loved very much because she was still in high school and I didn't know how it could possibly last, and I was set adrift in a sea of new faces and landscapes. I eventually found my way to a friendly party one night where I promptly joined the circle of cheerful stoners on and around the couch upstairs. The owner of the particular house I was at put on a vinyl copy of this from his record collection and by the time it reached this song we were probably on the sixth or seventh joint. Sitting there in this circle with these friendly people who brought me in as one of their own; the second verse began playing. When I heard those lyrics I immediately felt the parallels in my own life. I began to question where I was going and why I was going there, I ended up getting out of my major choice that was making me miserable and switched it to music. Despite the current level of horrible life events I've had to suffer through I've become more and more optimistic and cheerful, all because I got stoned and heard a poet say some words to me.
