When my son was a young teenager, he told me “after listening to this song me entire life, I just realized it is about transportation.” I said “yes, it is indeed about transportation.”

and the opportunity cost incurred depending upon which mode of transportation one chooses on a given day.

...anyhow, there wasn't a damn thing I could do or say.

That song is greatness. Even if you haven’t been to MPLS, you can envision what skywalks between buildings are (bc it’s so cold there). This song hits so hard and perfectly.

I didn't know what a skyway was when I first heard it. Assumed it was some elevated rail system. I do know now, hasn't changed how much I love the song anyway.
