In August 2024, my daughter and I set off from California, on a 38-hour drive to Ann Arbor, Michigan. It was challenging for just the two of us to handle such a long trip, and there were some scary moments at night, but we finally arrived in the peaceful town of Ann Arbor, ready to help her college life. Like most of the songs on my channel, this one isn’t an old classic, but it holds a special place for me in a different way. It’s from my first road trip with just my daughter, filled with so many unforgettable moments. Now that I’m back in California, this song reminds me of the road trip and Ann Arbor, the place where my daughter will face the challenge of living on her own. The quiet and loneliness feeling in the melody brings her to mind, and it will always be tied to the unforgettable memories.
