“A couple of years ago there was a huge wildfire where I live and my family had to evacuate. It was almost a week before we could come back home. All we could do was worry and wonder if there’d be anything left when we went back home, if all of our memories had been destroyed. Or somehow something, or even everything had survived. When we were finally allowed back into our community, there was nothing left. I don’t really get emotional about much. But it was hard not to during that time. We spent days sifting through the ashes, looking for anything recognizable, searching for memories, trying to find anything worth keeping. At the end of those long, emotional days I remember listening to “All Day All Night” by Moon Taxi. They’ve been my favorite band for a long time. And that song, at that time meant a lot to me. It kept me positive when everything around me was disrupted, and was a reminder of perseverance, that we would make it through.”
One more time before I go
Moon Taxi
One more night before I know
And if you see me in the evening
You’re bound to see me out of my head
