This was one of my early favorite songs. Yes, I grew up in California, but it reminded me, in a good way, of the winter days that I liked.
When we would go to San Francisco, we would see those foggy and cool days days, I loved it. Fog still fascinates me.
Of course, the song is so clean, to me, and some really nice harmonization. Sure, it may not be the happiest of songs but it’s thoughtful, reflective.
Also, “pretend to pray” was certainly me when I was forced to go to church later in my childhood.
