Sing out


I've had this version of this song on repeat the entire summer. Every time I listen to it, I find a new meaning. So far, I've convinced myself that it's about a religious conversion, a recovering addict fighting to stay sober, and a parent trying to teach their child about beauty and resilience in the face of devastation and loss. So you know, it's pretty upbeat.
