With Every Light (acoustic)
BC: Now, just one uh, one, one second before we do this one more last song. Thank you again, thank you again for a great show. We’re always in awe and humbled by the love and faith that the people here in Chicago have put in us and we thank you always. And also, and now when I was in a younger band, I didn’t really truly understand or appreciate great moments like these and so, besides, sort of.... I’d just like to take a moment to say thank you to, to our friends and our family for uh, for being there for us and a special note to people that are very close to us that we’ve lost recently and uh, her dad and my mom. So we’d just like to take a moment to honor them and uh, thanks.
