i think everyone has their own boston they wish to go to...
this song is really exceptional
this song honestly means so much to me i can't even begin to explain. sometimes when i listen to it i feel it was written about my situation because it's so exact. the part that really sticks out to me is;
"I think I need a sunrise I'm tired of the sunset"
i just feel like it's meant in such a deeper way. being tired of the sunset, tired of things ending, tired of relationships and friendships ending, tired of people walking out of my life and just needing a sunrise, needing something new, something that signals that all will be okay because there's a new day ahead and new things to come.
Also "Some snow would be nice". Snow could mean new beginnings as well.

I love the sunrise/sunset line in particular because it's doubly clever. I agree totally that it's about a new beginning, and I think that's the main point of the line. But it's also cleverly a distinction between Boston (i.e. Atlantic coast) vs California (i.e. Pacific coast). Coastal Californians enjoy beautiful sunsets over the ocean; here in Boston, we enjoy beautiful sunrises.

Outstanding song.. it really seems to speak volumes to me. I particularly like the line "you don't wear my chains".. it really shows how some people don't know your point of view.. oh well, i'm rambling :) i love the song. the end.
This songs about leaving everything behind and I think there's a time in every persons life where this couldn't be truer and you want to just get up and leave everything.
"When flowers gaze at you, They’re not the only ones who cry when they see you."
WOW. i love this song! sometimes when i get bored i get on itunes and i just look for new music and when i found this i knew it was something special. i have been listening to it for months and months now and it has yet to grow old. infact me and my ipod are listening to it right now. i just love how it starts out slow and then gets really powerful...just a PERFECT song!
@tbsbrandnewdcjew Me too! One of my favorites of all time.

I don't think the meaning of this song is as depressing as people make it out to be. I think it's hopeful, the singer is talking about starting over. Starting fresh, with a new life and new experiences. He's leaving his blues behind. That's very uplifting.
@jedzee That\'s what I hear too, someone leaving a mire behind them and starting a brand new life, brimming with freedom and nothing negative to bring her down.

@jedzee I agree with your point of view. Sometime you've done all you can do and things become stagnant, so then it's just time to move on to a new adventure. It is kind of melancholy, but it always is when you take one last look.

I have been listening to this song for a long time and I just figured out what "essential yet appealed" means. It means that it is necessary, but still questioned because maybe the person is reluctant to do it.
well said
i really love augustana
I think that this song means that sometimes your life doesn't turn out the way you want it to, but you've gotta roll with the punches, and that people can't always help you, especially if they don't understand you. Sometimes it's just up to you.
