Iha: Ow!
[encore break]
With Every Light
BC: Now, just one, uh, one, one second before we do this one more last song. Thank you again, thank you again for a great show. We’re always, uh, in awe and humbled by the love and faith that the people here in Chicago have put in us, and, uh, we thank you always. And also, um, and now when I was in a younger band, I didn’t really, uh, truly understand or appreciate, um, great moments like these and, um, so, besides, uh, sort of.... I’d just like to take a moment to say thank you to, to our friends and our family for, uh, for being there for us, and, uh, and a special note to, uh, to, um, people that are very close to us that we’ve lost, uh, recently, um, and, uh, her dad and my mom. So we’d just like to take a moment to honor them, and, uh, thanks.
Mayonaise
