When I first heard this song it made me think about the small northern town that I grew up in. I have been told that we were kind of like in a backwards time warp, because we were a hair behind with progress, when compared to more populated areas like cities. And when we talked, we didn't talk like we were well educated, even though our school taught difficult subjects.
I use to remark to others that if you would blink your eyes, while you were driving through our small town, you would miss seeing it.
I know, it wasn't that bad, but we even talked different than people, whom I met when I was in the Army. Kind of like a mix of french Canadian English, and American Indian English, which gave us a weird sounding accent, which I didn't realize that I had until I moved away from my home town.
I don't really know, what else to compare it to, so don't hate me if you are originally from my small town, because it is not meant as an insult. The accent is what makes us unique as individuals.
I hope that you enjoy this song as much as I do when I listen to it, because it really is a very peaceful sounding song.
Did you grow up in a small town?
