Some of that landscape looked familiar. I was a kid in the 70s and 80s in Brockton, MA. We used to go see your band at Scotch & Sounds (or Cafferty's or Westgate Lanes, whatever it was called at the time) back sometime around '82 or '83, I think. To this day, I clearly remember how wound up we all got when we found out about one of your upcoming shows. Pure excitement.
Goddammit, this really makes me wish I had a Super 8 childhood! My folks did, but by the time we came along at the dawn of the seventies, my grandparents had forsaken the "hassle" of 8mm film for the "convenience" of 35mm slides. Nevertheless, this brilliant video proves that vicarious nostalgia is almost as good as the real thing. And the song? Hits me right where it counts! Keep doing what you do, Mike--you're fuckin' golden. Thank you!

Has the makings of a masterpiece imho. Minor adjustments.

Yep the Scotch and Sounds, everyone played there! Legendary
Mahalo for sharing. :-)
Your Mother was absolutely beautiful. Well done Mike.

just beautiful Mike 💜
This footage is awesome. Suits the tone of this song perfectly and feels like a favourite sweater.
Love you songs bro
What a great song and wonderful footage.
Thing of beauty man!
Very cool! Thanks for a peek into some of your childhood memories
I woke up with a beautiful melody in my head, what is it? what is it? It was this song. Congratulations on the song and on the endearing video, Mike.
Love this!
Poignant.
I see you in your dad.
