I remember hearing this song live and I was blown away. This song brought tears to my eyes. What a sad but hopeful time we are living in.

I just wanted to add the "cannery" lyric makes me think about coal miners and how they'd bring a caged cannery down with them in order to escape suffocation.

Here's a link that relates it to all systems in society. Pretty interesting. https://io9.gizmodo.com/why-did-they-put-canaries-in-coal-mines-1506887813
