Jesus. I first saw you on the internet singing this song with your Husband playing Acoustic Guitar. I am a fan, always. I think that was over 5 years ago.
I'm a college freshman raised in the Bay Area, and when I committed to a school in Oregon, I knew it was going to be hard, but I was so surprised to see how much harder it was than I had anticipated. It was a definite culture shock, and I cried almost a week before Thanksgiving Break just from exhaustion and homesickness since it was the first time I was away from home for that long. You can imagine how happy I was being back in the Bay for the Thanksgiving week. Anyway, when I was a freshman in high school, which is when Jennifer released this song, I wondered if I was going to be just as nostalgic as she seemed to be in the video and if I was going to miss home as well. I've kept this song in the back of my head for so long and now, listening to it again, I can't believe how well I can relate to it. Thank you for creating an amazing song that definitely made me feel "some typa way." I'm sure I'm not the only one. Happy holidays!
I found this song after watching the Jubilee Project video! I knew you were always amazing Jennifer Chung! I lost you during Myspace days! I found you again!
I'm glad it's not one of those videos filmed in a studio with their mics and such.. It's a real music video. and this song is amazing i love it to the fullest. FAVORITED! :)
I have been singing this song for the past 10 years and this last year I couldn't for the life of me remember your name, last night it came to me and I'm so thankful. I remember so many of your songs 😍
this needs more views. no lie. how'd your original video get 800k+ views.. This is such a good song. I can listen to this song all day... and then the jubilee video? man, that just took this song over the top. I can't listen to this song without thinking about my mother. girl, this song pierces my heart.. and I love it.
I'm about to leave bay area in about month or so, and the lyrics of this song just totally got me. Gosh, I'm gonna miss living in bay area, people and everything so much. *sob*
This song is definitely not common, but it is simple and beautiful. I absolutely loved this! Came from watching JubileeProject ;) Songs with emotional connection and special ties are the best.
cried inside and out because not only the song is just too beautiful and meaningful, it's perfect timing! we're gonna graduate in college this may and i'm gonna miss my friends and school :(
this is great. I grew up in 510 but have been in Boston for the past 5 years and cannot wait to move back to the Bay... which I'll be doing in a few months! Thanks for the song, it expresses my thoughts quite simply and beautifully
..Love the lyrics and Jennifer's voice! I remember all the things when I was studying,... The time that I want to be independent,.. I want to go somewhere far,... but now I miss home I miss my mom,.
This was the original song I've listened which lead me to loving you. I call this as my California song especially since I have family in San Francisco. It brings smiles to my heart.
Really like the song. Sometimes we all are directed to get back to the basics if life, family. I pray all my brothers and sisters have this opportunity.
9 years later, I came back to this song because I remembered it from the Jubilee project video that gave tribute to moms. Thank you so much for reminding us all to love our moms through this song!
My favorite song by Jenn. This is why she is amazing. All she needs is a piano and her voice and she'll remind you that God gave us music as a gift. Thanks for that Jen. love you. - NH
i just happened to stumble upon this video and it sounds absolutely amazing. and i hardly ever comment videos so you should feel honored =), but not as honored as i do for being able to hear your song ;)
I was absolutely in love with this song when I was a freshman at UCI! (same year as you). Listening while flipping through old pics. Nostalgia is so strange..life always pushes forward no matter what we think, feel, want.. hope life is good. Just afraid I'll reach my long term goals and find myself so far away from these old memories. I want to progress..but I don't want things to change..and I don't want to grow old!
this reminds me that life is simple but yet beautiful. Don't waste your time spending to useless things. Focus on things that really matters. Life is full of happiness. thank you for this music. it motivate and inspires me everyday. I play this all the time. God bless you!
I envy you, Jennifer. Not because of your musical talent, although it'd be nice to have a voice/singing voice as stunningly smooth, soft and pleasant as yours. And not because of your appearance either, though you look every bit as great as you sound. What I envy about you, and this may sound arrogant but believe me that is not the intent... I envy your simplicity. How something like having your song being played in a fast food restaurant can bring such joy to your heart. (cont.)
Lovin' this, Jen! As Zach Braff said in Garden State, "Home is so much more than a place you put your shit in." I learned that when my family and I left our hometown of 23 years. "Home" is a combination of the common surroundings, the familiar faces, the carefree days, and the simple outlook on life we all have before we experience real world lessons. Beautiful video for a beautiful song. Thank you so much for sharing a piece of your heart with us, Jen.
I have loved this song for so long. My little sister posted it on my Myspace, long ago, which of coarse I don't have anymore, but she knew I would fall in love and I did. I just saw you on The Voice the other day and I was so bummed :( I think you are amazing, and I just want you to know, you voice is pure beauty!! ;)
Hi Jen- it's Melba- always checking out your vids and wishing you the best. I remember you singing back in elementary school, middle school, high school and thank goodness for TH-cam so I can continue to listen to you. I hope all is well!
beautiful voice, nice lyrics, easy listening...just like the title...great, and great person ^_^ with a great heart...gudluck for ur career...Jesus bless u jennifer
the lyrics is sooo beautiful and so true!! Isn't it nice, To simply know, There's somewhere you can go back to. So it's a big sacrifice Everytime that you decide You can't even if you want to..
I remember hearing this song the day you first put it out on youtube. I was singing my heart out to this song that it became my summer song. Seeing this on my friend's wall after so many years just brings smiles to my face again =]
The melody of this song is super catchy! We love it!!! And it sounds like it could even be in a commercial for Hallmark or for Foundation for a Better Life.. or even in a movie!!! hehe.. Beautiful song Jennifer : )
just wanna tell u how much i love this song. im really feeling down today. 3 bad news in one day.. turming ur song on made me feel normal again. i wish i cud write like u. this is onevif my favorite songs ever writen, its on my playlist on my phone n iv even downloaded the video. ur an inspiration, an amazing singer, and probally an awesome person :)

9 years later, this is still a BOP!
Lilyyyyy that makes me so happy!
I've been sick in bed all day, living alone far from California, and this cheered me up so much. Mills c/o 2008, major nostalgia
I remember listening to this song Freshman year, and now as a Senior, I can relate to the lyrics even more. Beautiful song. (:
This song was about the simple things in life, yet it was so beautiful.. That really isn't common :)
I found this song after watching the Jubilee Project video! I knew you were always amazing Jennifer Chung! I lost you during Myspace days! I found you again!

I heard this song last night at a McDonalds in Korea! I did my best to write down some of the lyrics and here I am! Love it!
Stumbled upon and then got my breath stolen for the last 3 mins,,,. Wow. Simply beautiful!
I had this melody stuck in my head and it took me over 2 years to remember what the title was! I'm so glad I finally found this song again.
same here !
I haven't heard Jennifer in years. I was one of her first fans TBH.. and damn.. Life hit her hard!.. geez.
I'm about to leave bay area in about month or so, and the lyrics of this song just totally got me. Gosh, I'm gonna miss living in bay area, people and everything so much. *sob*
How did I only know about you until now?!? I came here from that mother's day video.
Did you make a speech at your high school? Valedictorian? Class president? :D That's awesome!!!
I can't believe after all these years you finally made a mv for this song. I'm So happy.
LOOOOOOOOL love you... and our moms.
this song deserves way more than just 77 thousand views...its so beautiful
I remember when I first heard this song. It was on replay mode, and its about to go back on replay mode!
This song is definitely not common, but it is simple and beautiful. I absolutely loved this! Came from watching JubileeProject ;)
Songs with emotional connection and special ties are the best.

I kinda still remember 4 years ago when I fell in love with that little girl singing "No one" in front of the webcam. :)
This song deserves to be played on the top 40 radio. Keep up the great work Jennifer!
All music videos should be like this, so personal and beautiful. (:

Lovin' this, Jen!

Beautiful video for a beautiful song.
Thank you so much for sharing a piece of your heart with us, Jen.
You're amazing! I first heard you from the new Jubilee Project short for Mother's Day, and I'm glad I checked it out! You're super talented!
I have loved this song for so long. My little sister posted it on my Myspace, long ago, which of coarse I don't have anymore, but she knew I would fall in love and I did.

This is one of my favorite songs from the album, and a wonderful video. Uncommon in its simple beauty, just like Jennifer. :-)
Aww you and your momma look so much alike. Beautiful.
the lyrics is sooo beautiful and so true!!
Isn't it nice,
To simply know,
There's somewhere you can go back to.
So it's a big sacrifice
Everytime that you decide
You can't even if you want to..
what I'd say, common, simple, beautiful ...! thanks so much!
