So I recently saw the movie Burnt OnDemand.  (I have a thing for Bradley Cooper). I watched it 8 times in my 48 hour rental;  I really dug it even though they use the F-bomb a lot. (NOT that that bothers me!)  I wouldn’t exit the OnDemand screen until this song played that was in the end credits.

I heard the next song on the radio by Blue October and it  floored me! When did we get old?! Singing about kids and family?! I remembered Blue October singing the 2nd song.

I heard Gavin talking about this song when it was debuted on the Pulse.  I love that man!
