ccfajardo.....Like yourself, I packed my bags in 1985 leaving the midwest for LA. I too, was a fan of The Wave, and learned of Eliza and have the exact same blue in color cassette tape. Have since updated of course to the CD and find myself pulling it out often for this song and the others. Hope all is well with you.
In 1988, I moved to L.A., taking only my clothes, a futon and a few of my favorite rocks. Ha! I still have my rocks. When I got there, I bought a stereo and one cassette tape by Eliza Gilkyson that had this song it. Between that and the New Age radio station, "The WAVE," that was all I listened to for 8 months. This is still one of my favorite songs.
She did a Woody Guthrie song that she said had never been recorded. I'm not sure of the title, but some of the lyrics are,'Peace, peace, peace, I hear the voices shouting, louder while my bugle calls for peace.' it's a good song, and she does it quite well. Why isn't it on here?
I bought this album after the station I was interning at (KEZX Seattle once upon a way back when) played it and this song started my awakening, seriously...Thanks Eliza xx
This is a rare glimpse into the initial "new age" phase that Eliza started with before she evolved into a classic folk artist. I love both aspects of her music and really enjoyed this. Thanks much.
Wow...what memories this brings back! Thanks for posting this!

I have the album this song was on. It was my first by her. I have been a fan ever since. She has developed an edge since she did this.

Superb. Shame we have to go back to 1988, to experience what we all need to be feeling all around us even now.

starting 2 days post 9/11, i listened to this and the whole pilgrim cd every day for over a year.
i used it to diffuse the horror of the
wake-up call.
it soothed me

How's about "Hiway 9" as a farewell finger to G dub?
