While not as difficult as the previous one, I had some trouble transcribing this one. Part were the guitars, owing to how low and fast they are, which made it tricky to tell what was going on. And part the wacko Jeff timing on the B verses and the rap. The latter, I debated if I wanted to include, but as I read the text as a expression of how Jeff felt at the time, it felt disrespectful not to include it.
Anyway, arrangement-wise, I kept things fairly light, as adding more layers quickly made things too busy and distracted from the most important elements. Especially during the chorus, things went through a bunch of iterations as I experimented with what worked. Likewise, the solo took some doing to get right. I knew I wanted to include a motif from the score, but getting it to fit right took some doing.
Time spent working on the track: 31 hours.

I think this is actually the first time I've listened to this song at all.
I spent all this time not knowing there was a theme for my goodest of boys.

This song is pretty underrated, and just in time for my birthday

[@NailikNoteworks]

'eeey, happy birthday. ;D
And yeah. NGL, I practically forgot this song existed until coming to it for this. A sleeper hit, then. Because I quite like it now. I really like the melody in the chorus.
