Song reminds me of being stuck in a desolate bumblefuck town longing to go back home - kinda like where I went to college. While I sit and look at the dull old signs and the tumbleweeds in abundance, and also coming to terms with my unrelenting, fidgeting boredom, I start to appreciate the charm and beauty of my surroundings and a whole new world opens up to me that I didnāt see before. God Bless ya, Cindy Lee. And God Bless America šŗšø

iāve been humming this song and thinking about it all day for some reason. itās about her traveling the world, going to all these different countries, but still missing home. while joni isnāt a native californian (sheās canadian) i hear her love and longing for it in this song. her voice is just so delicate yet so powerful at the same and when she hits those runs with the high notes it tickles my brain. i donāt know how she does it man. the lyrics are great as well too, one of the best songwriters to ever live.
this song makes me love my home even more than i already do. even when i lived in texas for a few years i would wish a tornado would come and tear down the trailer park i lived in during tornado season in the summer, literally kneeling on the ground inside of the neighborhood shelter with my palms together, eyes closed, praying to god to let mother nature do its thing so i could go back home to california.
obviously, joni and i were in 2 very different situationsā¦

šµthis time last year i would listen to this song every day on the subway to my mind-numbingly boring barista job. i worked eight hour shifts alone, serving the occasional customer but mostly just sitting around eating expired baked goods and staring down at my ten-year-old docs spattered with matcha and espresso, the soles crusted with sidewalk salt. i listened to Phair singing about closing her eyes and her bank account and needing someone to do her thinking for her, and i fantasized about walking away from the shapeless, sleepy postgraduate life iād sunk into.
taking off my apron, abandoning the city and everyone who knew me there, getting on a train or a plane or just walking until i was swallowed by the sunsetā¦it all sounds so trite now, but at the time i carried that idea around like a lucky charm. something to hold onto, to help me feel real. i thought it was the most romantic thing a girl could do. go west, young woman.

āToss me a cigarette, I think thereās one in my raincoatā
āWe smoked the last one an hour agoā
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
āKathy, Iām lost,ā I said, though I knew she was sleeping āIām empty and aching and I donāt know whyā Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike Theyāve all come to look for America

My homeland from my Momās side. The water is blue as it is clear. The people are friendly yet frank. They carry the same mischievous smile that I do.
