I love reading about how all of you guys relate to this song because I'm from the same town they're from. I graduated the same year as one of the guys but I went to a different high school. This song really epitomizes that town. I hated living there. I lived in that region before, but my family had just moved from up-state New York. We ended up settling. I think that's where the line "everyone says this town is beautiful and you'd be so crazy to say goodbye." It's the kind of town you settle in. Obviously, the singer didn't want to be in this town. I sure as hell didn't. All I could ever think about were ways that I could get out of that place. My friends and I would pass the time getting stoned and drunk when we could find the occasion. Two of my best friends married right out of high school and had kids. My senior year FIVE girls were pregnant and two that I had graduated with had already had at least one kid. I never got into any of that, but it always seemed so easy to. I often referred to the place as "the black hole" because no matter how badly you wanted to leave, it just always seemed easier to stay. It's just a perfect rendition of the urge and determination there is to get out of the city and not be stuck there like everyone else is. It makes you wanna do something with your life. |
