You return to this one when you're stuck in a loop, replaying something you can't change. It finds you during those stretches when you need permission to move forward without guilt. The song becomes a gentle companion in the process of letting go.
The Eagles intended to skewer personal responsibility and cultural blame-shifting, but listeners heard something gentler—a wistful reflection on time passing and wounds healing.
