    Americana at its finest. Don’t get much better than this.
    It’s a big country and it’s good for your soul to leave the city

    Lyricists like Don McLean, Cat Stevens, Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce, Gilbert O'Sullivan, and so many others from the 60s did precisely what art is supposed to. It got us thinking and questioning. Still listening 60 years later.

      Still listening.
      I can say that songs from Madonna or Michael Jackson or any of today's singers havent brought me so much enjoyable. . They had stories to tell, with brilliant music. They bring back memories from my younger days.

      @@MrVasmikey oh, that certainly proves your theory.
      Hayes Caryll, Jamie Cullum, Ben Fold, Aimee Mann, Tom Waits, Vic Chesnutt, Bruce Springsteen, Stephin Merritt, Sufjan Stevens, PJ Harvey, Jeff Tweedy, Nanci Griffith, David Dondero, Regina Spektor, Et al. prove my theory and position that the genius of songwriting has never been stronger, intelligent, or poignant. But, you have to actually get off of your ass and listen to these artists in order to discover this yourself.

    Love the orchestra ... every tone so smooth and elegant. The harp introduction at the start lifts the song from the very beginning. And the piano ends this song magically. Life is perfect for a little while. Thank you.
