This might get personal but.. This album dropped in one of the most difficult times of my life... I vividly remember the night 1-800 dropped I couldn't wait to get off work and ran to my car because I just knew I needed this moment.

I got in my car turned my the song on full volume and just drove home. By the time I was on the freeway my eyes were full of tears. I realized right then and there I couldn't take it anymore. I was breaking down. I was scared, stressed, lonely, you name it. But this song even tho i knew it was a little cheesy from the start I think I even chuckled through the tears the first time i heard "who can relate!?"

When the full album dropped I was ready man. And not gonna lie I think it did resonate with me alot. With what I was going through even if our storys are tragically different It helped me see things differently.. I even went to see him on tour for the first time (and only time.. so far??) I talked about that show in a comment on another thread recently. To sum it up I will never forget looking around in the crowd and seeing i wasn't the only crying my eyes out to 1800

However... I just can't go back to that song.. or even the album?

Why? I think.. Its because I just feel a better now. I've moved on. This album eased that process and kind of got left behind with all that was bothering me back then.

No matter what happens tho I will always appreciate this man and his work. Sometimes we just need a little push to cry, and not just cry but think to eventually feel better.
