This is in my top 5 favorite songs of all time. It had such a big impact on my life when it came out. I loved it so much in 2014 that when it was time to prep for my wedding in 2015, I had my wedding band learn it and play an instrumental rendition as groomsmen, bridesmaids, and family walked down the aisle before my wife walked.

[Grazfest]

I want to listen to this song at the end, and go peacefully.

[SpeedracerNo]

That guitar groove he gets into is wonderfully meandering and infectious

[majorpuggington]

If 8 billion people heard this groove, all would be right with the world🌎

[AndresCastillo-unrj]

Just Stopping by to pay respect 🙏to one of our best songwiters in modern times 🤌 this is amazing.

[MarlonRodriguezmma]

This song makes me look back at my life and all the people that I've met that I no longer see today

[trapezoidspangle]

This song changed my life. Stopped me in my tracks. I can be such a cynical old bitch. I was lying on my couch under the back verandah one Sunday afternoon when it came on the radio. It raised me out of my foggy stupor. Thank goodness for community radio 3RRR.

Two years in a row now that I've listened to this song on repeat anytime I'm in the car for about a month long period. Seems to be a definite correlation with the start of summer weather too. Something very special about this song and how it makes me feel

[prunoivo]

Every detail of this song. This guitar tone and that voice. This is just so pure. Reminds me cold river flows and breezing wind blows and my best friends, grabbing some beer together and chatting. So peaceful. Do not know how to describe this feeling. This is the artist who leaves such an impression on me everytime. Just amazing. That is the music which feeds my soul.

[rufusgarfield]

The opening guitar is hauntingly sad.

I first heard this song on an NPR promo and that guitar sound said more than the whole song.

[lombo]

this song it's like drug... i feel it in my vains... it's my summer anthem... while riding in my car, or at the sunset, or in every single moment I want to stop, relax and hear what surrounds me!!! THANKS KURT!!!

[frenchymartin]

First artist since the early 90's I'm excited about, this guy has it all, lyrics, voice, music, and he is real smart and interesting in interviews, a true music lover. I hope he makles it to the top. True talen

This used to be my morning alarm many years ago on my old phone

[ramrodou]

it's hard to believe that this song is over 9 minutes long. "meandering guitar" mentioned below is dead on. this is a great road tune - stuck on about an hour loop. i'm really growing in my appreciation for kurt vile. he has really deep sounding material - as in layers of tones. excellent.

[AncientCityMusic]

Southbound highway 1. Homeward from Portland, just under 1000 miles. Made this trip a few times, but one specifically by myself during Covid, everything was shut down, everyone was stagnant. So it felt like it was just me and the road. I distinctly remember this song on that trip and will always associate that memory with this song. Much love.

[TarCharms]

Absolutely beautiful. Kurt Vile is one of the best songwriters of our generation

[Mineav]

Wow, incredible song. Kurt has really outdone himself. He just gets better and better and better.

[CanasNG]

This is the greatest song ever created by our generation, I hope you all realize this

[mikeamery]

I religiously listen to heavy rock and metal.... this guy is best album of the last year!
