Edward James: A throwback to “sad country porch sits” in early Hangar days. Maybe not what was meant, but this song for me will forever be sitting on the porch rocking chair watching the sunset

SamRobertsND: The climax of any great bar karaoke night. In Miller Lite fueled joy, the whole place is belting out the last refrain together. No other song comes close for me in fun and finality.

  • Joseph Harvey +2 — I can see George singing this. Also the prechorus is Sting-y
  • ared56 +2
  • Edward James +2 — As Helen demonstrated, aligning song choice with the vibe can propel a great performance to an electric one. This would have me weeping (as it typically does). Debated giving but 3 votes until I learned I can’t
