Give to me miles of tall evergreens

People have been asking me if I’m excited about moving back to Vancouver and starting a new job.

I don’t think I’m excited so much as I’m happy, because I’m going home.

There are those who don’t get why I’d want to move back, since it’s so big and crowded there and the people are mean and it rains a lot. Home means different things to different people, and every time I’ve flown or driven to Vancouver there’s a certain point where I’m standing outside with the cool wet air on my face and I feel like I’m where I should be. That’s what home is for me.

I have three more weeks until the move, but I’ve got this song on my iPod to keep me going. The Lonely Forest‘s newest release is a love song to the Pacific Northwest, called “Live There”.
