I love this song because it shows a really good bonding moment between Evan and Connors dad, but it also shows how Connors dad perceived the best way in helping his son was just to push through and keep perceiving, and how at the end of the day he didn't understand Connor.
Apparently this is one of the worst ways to break in a glove. The best way is to just use the glove every day until it softens with use. It's still a great song though because ultimately its not about the glove but life itself.
That may be symbolic of how what connor’s dad thought to help his son was actually further pushing him away! It’s probably intentional, but only the people who knows how to break in a glove would fully understand that symbolism! ❤️
