I never listed to this song all that closely. You know, I just bobbed my head along to the beat. It's a good song and for a long time, that's all I thought about it. But I'm learning that all of Ludo's songs have a double edge. If you don't think about the lyrics, all you catch are the guitar riffs and the words, but not the weight behind them.

I looked up the lyrics on a whim today, and this is just the site I default to for lyrics. And god, I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't this. This song being about the death of a parent makes tons of sense. My dad died recently. I'd be lying if I said this didn't hurt a little bit listening to it again when I knew the meaning. He wasn't exactly a saint, but his life didn't exactly inspire music. He was just an ordinary guy. But it's those people that deserve songs.

This song has the entire capacity to reduce me to a sniffling lump of self-pity, but it's hidden in this catchy rock song. This band has serious talent, man. It's hard to hide such a hard topic so easily inside of toe-tapping vocals and head-nodding beats, but they do it really well.

I'm constantly blown away by this band! Ludo is just fantastic!
