lyrics:
So the other day
I found myself by your old home
The one with the garden apartment
near Humboldt Park, where you used to roam
and as I was going down that street
memories were flooding back to me
and Chicago was so much better
with you in it.
Skating with some friends
some buds that came in from out of town
they got an AirBNB
right down the street from where you used to hang around
and seeing that yard empty
made it so clear to me
That Chicago is so much better
with you in it.
So the other day
I found myself by your old home
The one with the garden apartment
near Humboldt Park, where you used to roam
and as I was going down that street
memories were flooding back to me
and Chicago was so much better
with you in it.
Miss you guys.

I was gonna say "classic scallon", and then the string quartet came in, so now it's like "classic scallon but with a string quartet." Love it

The First of October videos made me think he was taking lessons. This here looks like an unschooled but more confident voice though, so I'm not sure. In so many singers, technical ability comes at the expense of feeling. What makes this a good performance is that he's singing from the heart. That's the most important singing skill there is.

From an insignificant outside perspective, I'm glad you had a good time with your friend. It's like the feeling of walking in the park and looking around to see people hugging. It's heartwarming to see even if I'm behind a screen or keeping to the trail (like with the park from the metaphor from before, you know what I mean).

A living example of what happens when an artist is fully unleashed with strong support and a great team.
This made me cry for the third time and made me want to move back to Chicago. We love you, Rob.
God this is some incredible work Rob. Love the string arrangement.

You don't hear too many songs that are about missing a friend. This is the second song rob wrote for a friend. Thought that was interesting. Nice to hear something different than love or love lost
The beginning with only Rob playing and singing sounded like something that could’ve been on The Glow, Pt. 2, lovely!

What a lovely song for some friends, reminds me of your earlier stuff, and the orchestra/string quartet sounds beautiful too. 😁

I think the train right at the end really sealed the message of the song
I wish this song was longer. This is an amazing song.

I feel like the almost spoken word tone (apart from the harmonizing) is a really nice contrast to the overwhelming beauty of the strings, the simplicity of it just works so well together
This song actually made me missed my friends I made in college. Haven't seen any of them 3 years... I might contact them soon.

Reminds me of your old days! Love the style and the string quartet, but most importantly the el train that went by just for you. 😊
Couldn't be happier to be approaching the winter months. :)
How aching and innocent, too. Well-done.
I never met you in person before I left Chicago, but it touches me that you can sense my absence.
Chicago is also better off with you in it! Beautiful song.
I work for a client who has an office right down the street from where this was shot. That little alleyway with all the art (you can see the mural at the beginning) is such a magical, cool place I found myself wandering around for hours. Awesome video!
Absolutely amazing.

Thanks Rob, this was lovely.
I like just as he sang Chicago, the train says Chicago made on the side.
Aw man, I love this!
This should have WAY more views.
I'm glad you got the train; that'll bring 'em back for sure.
Rob's Voice is so beautiful with the strings!
wow! Heart warming!
You never cease to amaze me. You’re such an incredible musician.
That's a very good song that you wrote! 👍👍👍❤❤❤

Awesome!!! Good solid town!!!
That was beautifully sweet, Rob.
I absolutely loved it! Last time you sang about a friend it wasn't an happy song so I love seeing you back singing something happy for your friends. Hope to hear more. I really think you're one of the few artists that can use few words to deliver strong feelings.
