Holbein writes that as the final day of the store being open was approaching, they were discussing how to close out the store. Vanderberg learned how to play the song on his guitar and they began putting the pieces together.

The song was filmed in one take and with no practice.

“I sat and played a shopping basket with two plastic hangers, Liam M grabbed a hanger bar to use as a faux-mic, and Eric mounted up his camera and masterfully filmed and edited this bad boy. With Brady and Liam K (Skipper) pulling us along, we poured our heart into our final goodbye through song, to a job we loved, and a building that contains so many great memories!” writes Holbein.
