Songfacts®:

  • Hobler wrote this song for his wife to play on their wedding day. It was a surprise that he was nervous about doing it, but she ended up crying and loving the song. He thought that it would just be her song but she bugged him to play it live at his shows, and now he has recorded it to possibly be on his debut album, The Elusive Yes.
  • Hobler had a difficult time writing the song because he put so much pressure on himself about making it the best song he has ever written. He just happened to watch the movie Punch Drunk Love and a line from it described exactly how he felt about his soon-to-be wife, "I have a love in my life. It makes me stronger than anything you can imagine," he said in our interview. A few days later, he finished the song.
