This song is a metaphor for my family. I used to feel surrounded by love. Now they’re almost all gone. Sorry but it’s really touching me. Yeah. I’m crying. This is beautiful beyond words.
Just finished watching all of Northern Exposure and the last episode drove me here. GREAT SONG. I sit here as a grown man, almost in tears. Thanks for this tune!
My grandpa would listen to this, he died when I was 7. Whenever I hear this I think of him, I miss him every single day❤ I hope you had a good life pop, I miss you so much
Love this song but it’s bittersweet as I grew up in rural Nebraska and sadly my town might not even exist when I’m old. When I was young we had a church and a bar and a few small businesses but now it’s just a church and that will go soon as we share a priest with other towns and soon there will be nothing left, and so I’ve said goodbye. I’ll keep the good memories though.
This was the final song on the final episode of Northern Exposure. Also a song that heartachingly reminds me of my original hometown, a place I never wanted to leave but "nothing good ever lasts."
