I have a distinct memory of playing this on the drive back home from college during Thanksgiving break my senior year. The song came on during a stretch of highway in the East Bay, and I remember looking at the sea of tail lights ahead and the houses on the rolling hills in the distance.
Listening now, it brings back all those feelings - the gratitude of Thanksgiving, the feeling of being in a transitional period (I was close to finishing college), the warm feeling of going home to see family, the bittersweet feeling of knowing this might be one of the last times I made that drive.
