This is an autobiographical work, inspired by a personal experience of mine from May 2014 to June 2019 (or 1,858 days). Each section of the tune represents a passing year. After the 7/4 introduction, the tune settles in 4/4 with the solo trumpet playing through the melody and open solo section. This is followed by a modulating shout chorus which leads into a guitar solo. The following section returns to 7/4 and gradually builds to a climax, before a return to 4/4 for the final reprise of the melody.
