I had such a strange experience with this song last spring and I didn’t know where else I could share it. I’m in high school, and we were in my history teacher’s classroom. He’s known for his love of rock music and he plays it from his computer all day every day. While the class was working and talking, he put on Tom Sawyer. At first nobody seemed to notice, it was just another one of his songs. But right as the synth line hit towards the middle of the song, I looked around and every single kid in the class, I kid you not were bobbing their heads or tapping their feet subconsciously. These are kids you wouldn’t ever catch listening to music that isn’t made by their favorite rappers, and yet they all were locked into the track. I guess it’s not that insane of a story, but it was super cool to see the effect of music on people.
