⁠@@muthuselvi_artsit’s a colloquialism that’s been around for ages. Like, ‘You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl.” Something you would say when your new gal orders “a Venti Carmel Macchiato, REAL milk, and can y’all put 3 squirts in there?” Also applies to the melancholy of missing the vibe of the place that helped shape you and what you love.❤️ You can’t take the Chicago out of me, and I live in the desert now.

Argh, this song is SO powerful. I went through tough life events, fell into binge eating, was in financial issues, lost my high paying job, was mentally struggling, and had toxic relationships over and over. But after picking myself up, going to therapy, started being mindful with eating and flexible with myself, slowly adapting in this healing process - listening to this song makes me reflect so much on my self-growth and I'm so proud. I'm more grounded, aware, and financially better. The fact that Chicago is also where my first boyfriend who I think was my first love and my most toxic ex who I had an on-and-off relationship for the past 4 years (I ended it 5 months ago) :'))) I'm much better, much happier and life, while do have its struggles - will always get better guys. Stay strong and take care. You deserve to see and feel the better version of yourself.

Congratulations on your beautiful new son! What a wise way of dealing with all of the changes in your life right now, reminding yourself that your future self would tell you that "you'll be fine". As the mother of now 32 and 29 year olds, I still remember how upside down my life felt when my firstborn came and that I was so afraid of getting something wrong, and yet at the same time there was so much new, deep love there. For what it's worth, your future self is right. In just a very few months, motherhood will feel normal and you will have gained much more confidence. Sending you a big hug and a full night's good sleep (wish I could-- I remember how physically tiring it all was for a while, but that too passes). Take good care.

I have an important story. One day I was driving home, when all of a sudden the Lord came to me in spirit. I felt very close to Him. I knew if I asked him to play any song on the radio he would, I guess to bless my faith. So I said "ok, Lord play "Come as you are by Nirvana". I turned on the radio and the song started playing right there on the spot, perfectly… I started getting flooded with chills like a waterfall, crying, and trembling. He stayed with me for 10 minutes in my driveway. until I got outta the car. A couple months after that I started getting amazing prayers answered way more often, because it helped me quit doubting when I pray and I was lined up with biblical instructions. It's 6 years later and I still get answered prayers in Jesus name.

This song has soo many feelings in it. Many eras of my life and the good times but I also find this as that comfort and closure song of my sister and her unexpected death in 2022. The line "Just trust me you'll be fine" is her relaying the message through the song and sending positive vibes and hope for the future.

[@Yukoshima1234]

I'm so sorry for your loss

Been listening to your song all day. Thank you, I’m not sure what inspired this beautiful melody and lyrics, but you’ve touched me, and so many others with this masterpiece. So many emotions in one song. We hear you

[@ChloebellBlake]

​@@Kira-hg3rryou can take the man out of the city but you can't take the city out of the man. Going back to your old hometown and how you feel about returning.

[@janaj2748]

This song reminds me of when I was 24, by far the best era ever. Traveling to the city every weekend to live life, not a care in the world. We really didn’t know the depth of the memories we were making. Another version of me, I was in it. ✨

[@HellenCW]

This tune is … it’s just perfect.

[@aeipathicc]

been here since 2019. im so so glad youre now getting the recognition you deserve, djo!!

[@anveniansparrow]

I was diagnosed as an autistic and now in the process of getting off psychiatric meds (that never helped me) after being for ten years on then. And this song feels really fitting now. Because i think about misdiagnosed version of me, who thought she was the wrong one, the crazy one, the lost one. I am so excited for a next chapter of my life. And i really like this song ❤

[@Bloody-j4g]

Congrats dude!🎉

[@justsomeit5818]

Yeah those things are poison. Eating right, staying fit and finding positive people is all you need.

[@lunamin78]

no music ever made me cry except this. It reminds me of my friendship which I had to end even though I didn't want it. Oh girl I love being friends with you but I need to let you go

[@coffeecake6472]

So weird, I think of something similar whenever I hear this song. Friend breakups just hit different.

[@deeflores419]

Song makes me cry too. My relationship had to end. But it’s a good cry ❤

[@haley_bey]

same. this played on my spotify on my way home today and i burst into tears

[@beastman7410]

All hail king Steve 🙌

[@twinkincarnate]

I remember when this album first came out in 2022, when I was 22, and it was the soundtrack of my life post-breaku, and just during a weird time in general. Now, this song is blowing up the year I turn 24, and the lyric “Remember 24?” really sticks out now, haha. I’m so happy Djo is getting the recognition he deserves as an artist. So so proud of you man, I love you ❤❤❤

[@Rohannn0007]

What a coincidence

[@Theavtimes747]

This song just feels like a song from a long time ago from a "nostalgic" time that I've never experienced before

[@pfair13]

I feel this so is my life. I mean bed to chai go for college and stayed for 20+ years. My family and I left Chicago - which is my end of my beginning. I moved to AZ to start my third phase of life. Now when we go back to visit frequently, I really do feel it. I was another version of myself there. This song speaks to me

[@MrP1gg]

I thought watching a show was happiness but now I know this is happiness. There is nothing wrong with this song. There is no song that best describes the perfect balance between happiness and sadness like this one. It’s perfect. Of happiness was a song this would be it. It’s perfect again. I’m happy and I’ve never been made happy from listening to a song but this made me happy

[@riversong2913]

my millenial heart loves this song that randomly appeared lol. reminds me of my childhood and adulthood wraped up in one. cant wait to see what ya'll do next.

[@lidan123]

Graduation is not far away and this song makes me realize that I will never get to repeat the great and bad moments I had in it, the laughs and cries, the ups and downs. Makes me sad for some reason despite me being desperate to finally leave the school, literally "The end of beginning"..

[@Hybridatomsk]

As a Chicagoan, I salute you. Cheers, Djo.

Words can’t explain how much I love this song. I know he went to DePaul in Chicago and that’s where he got his start in theater and acting. This song is basically him saying goodbye to the beginning of his career and moving forward. I blast it every time it plays on Q101. Such a beautiful song with even more touching lyrics.

[@parksaeroyi4375]

Everytime I listen to this song, it reminds me of the place that I spent my degree which is so far from home and it took 10 hours to drive there. Whenever I visit that place, it feels so nostalgic that there’s another version of me living there 7 years ago. It’s a place I spent my youth for 5 years.

[@Maria-qs2bn]

This is also what i felt when I listen to the song for the first time, working so hard to earn the degree that we wanted, lots of sacrifices were made, the emotionally instability we had, the anxious that we had, "just trust me, you will be fine" was our mantra during the times we thought we will never it earn. It was nostalgic indeed.

[@jamiewatts1884]

Pure art!! The instrumentals alone take you back somewhere so pure & innocent & sounds a bit how we’re just so carefree at one point & then we experience things that break us apart but then get to heal & look back at just how resilient ppl can be even at the most painful of times. WE LOVE YOU JOE!!!
