Happy New Year, Citizens.
This song came out in the summer of 2008, and for me it definitely captured a feeling of that fall and into the start of 2009; a feeling that feels pretty far away here coming from the end of 2016, but my hope and wish is for everyone here to catch a little bit of that feeling again in the new year.
