“I was actually thinking about someone in particular for that one [Independence Day], which is really… I almost never do that. It’s just a friend of mine from New York named Josh and just, you know – it was kind of like, an optimistic song, sort of being like – just relax, you have everything you need to be happy but you’ve just got to wait a little bit. I was just kind of thinking of him when i made it up.”
Elliott Smith
