I’m not even kidding when I say I listen to it unironically. No “haha cowboy core” joke, no pretending it’s funny. I actually love it. It’s so catchy and warm and I never skip it when it comes on. After everything with Arthur, after that emotional hurricane of an ending that left me staring at my screen feeling hollow, this song felt like such a relief. The vibe completely changes during the epilogue and suddenly things feel lighter. Not fake-happy, not forced, just… hopeful ? There’s something about the way it plays while John is trying to build the house that gets me every time. He’s not some epic tragic hero in that moment, he’s just a guy trying to put his life together one plank at a time. He’s awkward, he’s stubborn, he’s figuring it out, and the song in the background makes it all feel so sincere. It’s positive in this simple, grounded way that really works after all the heaviness before. I adore John. He’s just there, building his house, trying to be better, trying to give his family something stable. The song makes the whole montage feel almost wholesome, like the game is rooting for him. And I’m rooting for him too. awww the scrunkly 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
