There are so many things we don’t understand when we’re young that we only realize with time.
Causing trouble for our parents when we were young varies from person to person, but as we get closer to our parents’ age or become parents ourselves, certain things finally make sense.
ONE OK ROCK’s song “Nobody’s Home” is a must-listen for those moments—when you feel a bit embarrassed about your younger self yet want to thank your parents.
Take your time listening, think, “I’ve grown up too,” and show some gratitude to your parents.

It’s a song that conveys heartfelt gratitude to loved ones—parents and grandparents in particular.
