This song has a special meaning for me as I moved to Alaska when I was young and lived there for eleven years before moving away. After I had moved and heard this song a year or so later, it brought me close to tears because it perfectly reflected my own feelings about the move and how much I miss Alaska, which has grown to be home for me. Even now, a couple years after the move, I still listen to this song and feel homesick.
The line "over mountains I feel safe" especially reflects my feelings as after living with mountains looming overhead for so long, now that I live in a place where the land is almost completely flat as far as the eye can see, I feel somewhat like the opposite of claustrophobic.
