Writing and inspiration

The song is about looking back and wanting to relive your past. He said in an interview, that the underlying message of the song is positive in that "Even if things don’t work out and I can’t change them, I’m still glad it happened. And the worst case scenario is that you learn a lesson.”[1] The song is based on Chris' ex-girlfriend, who broke up with him when his band, The White Tie Affair, started to take off.[2]

gollark: I mean, of all the things to special-case into the language's syntax and low-level semantics, *channels*?
gollark: Sure, and Go stopped too soon.
gollark: No other type can be properly, ergonomically generic - you have to use `interface{]` (basically the any type) and typecast lots.
