That was a good episode. They really touched on a lot of powerful emotions.

I thought it was interesting that a Nickelodeon cartoon would talk about religion in the context of seriousness, mentioning that Carl considered himself an Atheist, yet still reached out for "the big guy" during the family crisis.

The pain that they depicted throughout that episode that all the characters seemed to share in one way or another, was very real and they didn't hold back much, yet avoided being melodramatic.

That's one of the reasons I love this show so much. It's really down to Earth, relatable, smart and often will touch on issues that most other cartoons stay away from like the plague.

I love your work. ^^ It's awesome that you have the lyrics here for us. I could hear the song in my head as I read them.
