Something I try to remember every day is not to take anything for granted. This song reminds me of driving along the Sea to Sky highway around midday, just looking out towards the water. A lot of my songs are taken from him, and so most of the songs I listen to know are also songs I listened to a kid. “Let Her Go” by Passenger was one of the first songs I remember my dad showing me.
