So glad to be back home

Sounds like a cozy Canadian winter..personally this song brings me back a decade to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, these guys were playing a free outdoor show at sunset but there was freezing rain and only a few people showed up..I was 18 and heartbroken and stood there crying in awe until I couldn't stand the cold. 10/10 experience!
