It’s a very powerful song, memorable for the footage of the two of them singing with one hand raised and for its chant-like chorus.

Whenever I listen to it, I somehow feel my stress melt away—like a weight being lifted off my shoulders.

A quick refresh with this track, and I feel ready to regain my focus.

From the very first guitar riff, it’s a cool, exhilarating rock number.
