[@saberserpent1134]

Used to cover this, back when we were playing on the same stages as "Godsmack", "Kittie" and "Superjoint Ritual", got the contract, and of course, it all fell apart at the apex. All I have left is my Taylor acoustic and a Jackson V that never sees sunlight. This one I still pick on, in those rare moments I'm alone, and want to relive the early 2000s for a few minutes. Then I set it back down, and time marches on.

[@MrKirk94]

Get this man a Lexapro! Haha. Jk bro. I'm turning 40 next year, and I've been feeling the effects of reliving too much of the past lately. Nostalgia can be a great thing, but it can also bring you into a depression if you let it. Weird..... But damn if this ain't a great song, great times. 😎

You wanna relive it? Do it. There are enough people on earth to share such a vision. If you were anywhere near me and I wasn't crippled to shit I'd join you immediately in such an endeavour. Because while you might yearn for an earlier glory, you have it in grasp. You got an instrument, and arthritis hasn't eaten your hands, I'm assuming. Find it and make the world your stage.

[@donaldmercer4091]

I love the song I was listening to it a few days ago on the way home from work I had tears in my eyes and I realize what the song was all about the song really really hits home and it shows that you can go through so much in life that your heart desires a walking along that edge and knowing that you can make that leap anytime you want to but honestly it also tells me. That there is always someone looking down at us could be a family member or could just be an old friend looking down on us from heaven. And sometimes when we take that leap of faith and we step to the edge. It's our decision.
