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 didn’t see before. God Bless ya, Cindy Lee. And God Bless America 🇺🇸

this 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 i’d 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 sunset…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.

"it's more than just okay
in fact it is beautiful
and I might just stay here
and I'll be okay
you might think I'm crazy to carry on
rather than saying the long goodbye
and they say the ground at Vietnam is hollow
but nothing is beautiful for nothing"
a simple little song that seems to exist elsewhere.

I'd rather you come back now and got my stories.
I've got whole lives of stories that belong to to you.
I could fill you up with stories,
stories I ain't told nobody yet,
stories with your name, your blood in them.
Ain't nobody gonna hear them if you don't
and you ain't gonna hear them unless you get back home.
When I am dead, it will not matter
how hard you press your ear to the ground.

Jane is so ahead of the curve man… this is the future of music right here. Hyperpop rap for the winnnnn. I’ve always been a maximalist. #JRJRJR

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