21 Years later, this song still resonates with me. While be a veteran and a highly unattractive one at that, Seeing a man walk into society with little confidence just trying to brighten up others days with a hug to make both him and their days better is second to none of feeling like you're on top of the world. Thank you DMB for the years of great music and this specific video to give me motivation.
