I cried. I lived in Missoula for most of my childhood. I had to move across the country because of an unexpected event. I miss Montana and I still call it my home.
I always pray that one day, soon I hope, I will go back to my beloved Missoula 💙. I found myself there...or I was able tp be closer to myself there...the city of healing and meaning...💙.
This is epic. I am crying. No big deal. You are such a powerful and talented storyteller. Thanks for making this for me to look back on when I am missing *home*.

It will be almost a year since we came back from Missoula! The first time I learnt about this place was when I was selected for a program. It was only a geographic area with abstract meaning for me!! Now, Missoula is packed with great memories and it evokes a mixture of feelings! Will always love Missoula and will pray for another opportunity to reunite with the land
Missoula is my home. I never knew I could love a “place” as much as I love people. How could I if a place can’t even love you back? Missoula was the first place I’d ever experienced being loved back. Missoula made my life great, being there has loved me back. It’s hard or Impossible for others to understand only and maybe if you love or lived here but im actually in love with my home.
I always play this video during my classes and my students keep asking me about the secret behind this choice...they don't know that it is NOT only a song!💙
My husband and I will be moving to Missoula in September and I can't wait!!! We have fallen in love with the area and bought 5 acres of land in Florence to build our home, and eventual barn! This video is exquisite! The melody, acoustics, vocals with the changes, and the spectacular views that make you wish you were there with that gorgeous Golden Retriever!!! Do you perform locally?

I was there from NY in November and as soon as I got off the orange street exit I instantly felt as ease......like this is where I was supposed to be all my life. Maybe some day.....
I am also a former New Yorker, who migrated to Washington State 23 years ago. My husband and I have fallen in love with Missoula and bought over 5 acres of land in the Bitterroot Valley! After 20+ years living in Washington, we are heading to Missoula in September and will be living in our 5th wheel in the KOA while we build our home. I feel like I will be coming home as well! I cannot wait until we arrive!
I lived in Missoula for many years, absolutely loved it. It was home. But I had to move because I couldn't afford to stay living there. It broke my heart. It will always be home to me. Its where my heart and soul is, in Montana.
I've lived in Missoula off and on now since the mid 80s, with continuous stretches of residency as long as 10-years, and quite honestly, it's no better or worse than any other place in the intermountain west, but there are a number of things people should know. The sun RARELY shines here, VERY rarely, and winters, are far-far longer than most people are will to recognize or admit. True summer, can only be found here in July and August. That's it! September brings fall, and winter typically lasts from October through May, bounded on both sides by rain and perpetually grey skies. The availability of both housing and jobs is atrocious, and the median priced home is WAY beyond the reach of most wage-earners or even many salaried professionals. Politically speaking, it's a college town, with 85-90% of the communities revenue stream coming directly or indirectly from student loan money, period! So it is populated largely by young, liberal, woke, indoctrinated, unsophisticated, shallow-minded, y- and z-gener neo-Marxists.
@@vanessarongstad8576Well, Missy, you're perfectly entitled to your own opinion. It's America. But you're NOT entitled to your own facts!! I suggest you simply educate yourself to help you climb up and out of your clear state of ignorance, by reviewing "published" data on the number of hours of sunshine per year in Missoula. Then, revisit your 3rd grade math, by subtracting that number from 365 days x 12 hours = 4,380 hours of daylight per year, and you'll quickly realize that there is FAR more gray skies than blue, and that you are sorely mistaken.
