This song brings me some of the most intense feelings of nostalgia.. About 14 years ago, myself and one of my best friends at the time (seems like another lifetime) used to play this song every single day. It was seriously some of the best days of my life.. I try not to listen to it as often as I want to, so that way I always encapsulate the feeling of that time in my life whenever I hear it.

@Bongo Jones no doubt my brotha I know exactly how you feel and you're more than welcome. I actually met the guys from the And1 mixtape back in the day and got a chance to hang out with them at their hotel. You can't tell you how much I miss those days my man. Nostalgic things can definitely take your stress away. Always look at some of your favorite TV theme songs and anything that makes you happy to help relieve stress. There's a few articles online about it. Much love brotha✊🏾✊🏾
