Scott Knows Nothing
Riot is like finally finding your way out of hell and instead of arriving to a party you just walk around a city watching everyone live their normal life and even though some would says it boring and mundane you can't help but think how much sweeter a normal way of life is

Damn, this gives me chills. This is that "coming out the other side of a hella dark place" music. Like the end of a movie that doesn't necessarily have a happy ending, but it's the best it's ever gonna be. Powerful work, thank you brother Earl.
