This is an AMAZING song. It's pretty straight forward- Pete has talked about the song being inspired by always wanting to get out of the small NJ town he grew up in, and then realizing years later what was inherently good about it- or what he could see of value in it- now that he's spent that time in L.A.,and tramped all over the U.S.
for me, this song touches me right now in my life in a big way...and I think it rings true for so many. The economy's in the tank, we're all STUCK- we fantasize of "breaking out" of the same old town, the life, the circumstances we find ourselves in...unemployed, in a job we hate, strapped under a mortgage on a property now worth "half" it's previously over-inflated value.
It speaks to the wanderer in us all, lusting for the next best place over the horizon...
"it burns on in your mind"
truly stunning in its simplicity and beauty. Yorn is at the top of his game- a great songwriter. good to see more people discovering him.
He's shy, introverted and pouring his soul all over the floor for you...buy his music.
