They don't do soundtracks like this anymore do they?

This is a beautiful, peaceful song, it has a kinda hazy, lazy feel to it. Its a song that feels like (to me) one of those rare days where everythings gone wonderful, and you've just had a perfect day and now its slowly coming to an end.

This songc epitomizes a difficult and tragic time in my life, when I was struggling with alcoholism (at the age of 25), and my choices led my family to turn their backs on me (rightly so). I was left wandering the streets during the winter, hungry and alone, with tears freezing to my face, as I prayed that I would be able to make it through the day sober. I missed my family, and my only comfort was an old, nearly broken ipod that had this song running in a loop. I am now 27, and one year sober.

When I first heard this song, I suddenly felt incredible.Like I had just had such a wonderful and tranquil day and that there would be millions more to come. And I fell in love with harmonicas.
