  • When I was growing up in the Midwest my father was always talking about being tired of the cold ,well we moved to the Carolinas when I was 16 ,Boy O Boy what a change for the better at the time ,that was 25 years ago ,and I have lived and worked all over from Alaska to Maine to Texas,but I still go back on occasion and visit Dad,He is buried in the Carolinas,and I can still see the smile on his face on the day when we moved there , very nice memory ,Thanks Dad !

  • funny people:)

  • i'm not a NC native, but reside here now and have visited every part of the state and can say there's a part of the state for all. the mountains are exceptional all times of year, but compared to the rockies they're hills. the beaches are nice, but don't expect to find a strip with much of a night life. Charlotte, is nice if you want a major city feel. NC is gorgeous in spring and fall, a good place to raise a family or retire, an excellent place for collegiate options, and good for sports.

  • @duhdonutman I have lived in NC for all of my life. Sure they're are shortcomings but in the balance it's GREAT! I have never seen NC a winter like the one we have now. No snow, enough rain to keep the soil wet. We've got nearly every wild animal that's native to NC & from other places like coyotes. The county people told me they were here in abundance & plenty of deer for the hunt. Beaver, turkey, ground hogs, red tailed hawks, enoumous vultures & ravens as big as chickens. Wild life paradise

  • I shouldn't try to write while so verclumped, but my partner and I are packing now and putting our house on the market. I was born in NC and have always missed it. 50 years, Fla, Calif. and Oregon have been on my path back to North Carolina. I'm 72 now and I believe you can always go back home.

  • @MrTimRoyal like dis if u cry everytim

  • NC is pretty aslong as u stay away from Greensboro, Durham, Hipoint, Charlotte Winston-Salem and Kernersville Areas....

  • i live in nc. it's ugly

  • @mortardoc You need to get out more , take a road trip with a friend , to the coast ,to the mountains ,stop at a doadside stand in the mountains and buy some fruit , youll see :)

  • Nice :)

  • I didn't know he grew up in NC. Didn't have the typical accent of an NC.

  • I don't get the negatives here...why come and watch to be negative? He's got one of the most beautiful male voices I know and the song is lovely.

  • LOL all these comments.

    I grew up with James Taylor, but always "background music in preschool" kind of James Taylor. After seeing "Funny People", I started listening to him seriously. And now, he's one of my favorite musicians.

    So thanks to those who got the joke and played along...and to those who didn't- hey, no disrespect.

  • Im goin home to Farmville in my mind...God I miss the country. Livin up here is hell in comparison

  • The Colbert Bump

  • where i live im snowed in but soulth carolina is like 75 degress

  • I'm going to carolina in my mind..thank you...fuck facebook. thumbs up if you get it

  • Colbert :)

  • looks like im not the only one who was brought here after the colbert report. haha. fantastic

  • Colbert...

  • beautiful song. Invokes so much emotion. Much to rare these days.

  • Stephen Colbert <3

  • Stephen Colbert 2012

  • in my mind its south carolina but whatever! :)

  • Gah!! Minutes behind others!

  • Colbert you sexy motherfucker

  • Colbert brought me here and this song rocks.

  • my parents named me after James Taylor.

  • In MY mind North Carolina is the most amazing land in the world.

  • North Carolina is the most beautiful state I've ever had the pleasure to spend 25 years in. I know no equal to her. I shall return one day to rest. Thank you for such a beautiful video.

  • the south is so much better than the the north. sorry fellas southern folk just got deeper soul dat's all. maybe ya'll come down here and melt away your blues

  • @banana3737 we won the war

  • his dog hercules XD

  • Comment removed

  • This is one of those rare songs that nobody will dislike. You can play it for anybody, regardless of their taste, and chances are they will at the very least tolerate it...

  • @JDillaDudas 11 people have proved your faith in humanity is fruitless JT!! FTW

    as long as we enjoy it, the hell with everyone else,

  • is this about NC or SC i know its our (SC) state song but...

  • @dgainey24 Well, James Taylor spent a good portion of his life living in the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill), so I'd say there's a good chance it's about North Carolina.

  • @dgainey24 He's singing about North Carolina where he grew up in Chapel Hill.  He wrote the song in the late '60s while overseas recording for Apple Record and suffering from homesickness. This is why it seems like such a sweet song.

  • I LOVE living in NC. Best state in the U.S.

  • Moving to NC next year if all goes as planned. Every time I feel stressed these days, I sing this song to myself!

  • @tampathor = I'll keep good thoughts for you, I'm going home soon for Christmas, and when it comes time to leave it will be so hard, Carolina is  always on my mind and in my heart

  • Love N.C.

  • I must say I love the weather the most. Hot summers but not to hot like Florida Texas and California. 60s and 70s all the way into December. 60s and 70s as early as late February. and only a few snow falls in winter. Very few hurricanes come into the mainland. But when an ice storm hits, watch the fuck out!

  • proud to be from nc

  • Those of us from south carolina have also adopted this song as a favorite!

  • @yumtoasty Indeed. Im juuust south of charlotte in SC. So it still counts lol

  • @JoeDSileo1988

    Haha nice, two of my cousins live in that area, around the Ft. Mill/Rock Hill area. I live in PA currently, but I'll be back in SC ten days from now for a visit. I can't wait to go back!

  • @yumtoasty oh cool I have relatives in the Poconos and Nazareth area. Small World

  • this man. amazing. no words.

  • @lot24 do you ever get tired talking about your dick ?

  • ~in my mind i' m going to camp~

  • NORTH CAROLINA!!!! don't know what i'd do without you

  • there are 1,111 likes, 11 dislikes. would've been nice to have watched this 11:11 on the 11/11/11.

  • Not sure if he ever gets tired of singing this song (or all of his other songs) or not, but I never get tired of listening to him sing. This is my all-time favorite song - you wouldn't understand unless you're from Carolina (North!) and have been away for a while. Great song, great singer, best memories.

  • I heard this song after a long time today.It brought tears to my eyes.It reminds me of the times i have away from my beloved N.C.I was born and raised in N.C. and moved away at the age of 24 to the d.c. area,i was sick almost everyday.

    I really missed home.Then one day,i decided i had enough,i packed up and moved back after 10 years.Best desicion i ever made.

    I will live here,and die here a true blue Tareheel.I will always be going to Carolina in my mind.

  • transplant! not actually from nc.. although i love this song

  • To my friends Michale Harris / Anthony meadows R.I.P

  • this song must renamed: HEAVEN in my Mind! :)

    Such a lovely song.. :)

  • i love this song, I neve get tired of listening:)

  • 11 people are going to New Jersey in their mind. I feel so bad for them.

  • to dislike something like this is like to say I don' t like a Michelangelos' s painting !!! I mean it' s honestly impossible if you are a human being :D

  • Does James Taylor ever get tired of singing the same songs all the time?

  • @lot24 do you ever get tired of talking about your dick?

  • @lot24 Doesn't all singers and artists?

  • @lot24 Does Seth Rogen ever get tired of talking about his dick all the time?

  • @lot24 Does James Taylor ever get tired of singing the same songs all the time whilst counting those crispy 1s, 5s, 10s and hunny stacks? Fuck no.

  • @lot24 He may get tired of signing his famous hits, but true fans never get tired of hearing him!!!

  • @lot24

    I thought he was actually one of the most prolific artists, though they are all somewhat repetitive, even the best ones. Look at all the his uploaded songs just on YouTube. . . Those were all major, major hits.

  • @lot24 - Do u ever get tired about talking about your dick? ;)

  • @lot24 Do you ever get tired of breathing air?

  • @lot24 Do comedians ever get tired of talking about their cocks?

  • @lot24 Ever get tired of talking about your dick ?

  • @lot24 no cause while he is singing he has gone to Carolina in his mind

  • @lot24 Im sure it is tiring, but if music is what he loves, then keep on singing!

  • @lot24 Would he sing them if he was?

  • @lot24 Do comedians ever get tired of talking about their dicks?

  • @lot24 you ever get tired of talkin about your dick?

  • @lot24 when your singing of a memory, and its strong, you wont ever lose hold of it because whats really important stays with us till the day we die

  • @lot24 Why would need to sing different songs. Theyre good enough, dont you think?

  • @lot24 you ever get tired of getting handjobs?

  • 11 people are going to hell in their mind.

  • @INGorporated

    You must have done basic training there like my son or something. Sorry.

  • @INGorporated or just going there for real.

  • take it home andy!

  • I do not see how anyone can dislike this song it just gives of a good vibe.  Just the name its self. (:

  • yea thats right i try to show my friends the better days of music and they want to have no part in it... but they are just blind to this era of awesomness, although, they all know stairway to heaven by zeppelin..... wow

  • whoever made this video... props.

  • Comment removed

  • The 11 people who dislike this song and video must never have been to North Carolina. Its one of the most beautiful states and so peaceful. After moving here from Florida 3 years ago I could never imagine leaving, I would miss it too much.

  • This reminds me of summer past when I was just a little kid. My dad would put this James Taylor album on, we'd have some friends over to swim, cook ribs on the grill, fireworks on the driveway. I can to know and love JT. The past couple years have been difficult for my family and we haven't had those summer night parties for a long time. For Christmas this past year, we gave my dad and mom tickets to one of the concerts. They literally had tears in their eyes. Thank you James.

  • Nature brings forth her gifts and treasures, for the whole wide world to see,

    but the best things in this life can't be bought, the best gifts in life are free!

  • Such a unique and powerful voice that james taylor, just love his music.

  • I live in south carolina and, this song just exspress how i feel about my state. Such a peaceful and meaningful song...

  • Comment removed

  • The "dislikes" have never been to Carolina.

  • FUCK FACEBOOK!

  • I have been to Carolina in my mind twice. It is always fun thinking about going again soon.

  • funny people sent me here

  • I've never been to Carolina.

  • the 11 people who disliked this are the teeny boppers that listen to the mainstream crap on the radio these days

  • Born and raised in NC... Moved to Arizona several years ago and cried inside (and out) ever since. This song takes me home every time<3

  • @SapphireLabyrinth - We just moved to NC after three years in Phoenix following most of our lives in NJ. I hear you. I hope you find your way back someday.

  • I love JT, i hope he goes on forever.....

  • Swam there at 4:01. most beautiful area ive ever seen. Im a Georgia girl, but i will always have a place in my heart for the Carolinas.

  • If you ever go to a UNC graduation. This is one of the most moving moments of the whole thing.

  • I live in North Carolina, right at the bottom of the mountains. I'm only 16, but I know, I've always known that I'm never going to leave here. I'm going to raise my kids on the land I was raised on, and let them enjoy North Carolina like I did... like I am. Thank you, James, for letting everyone know that North Carolina is an amazing place.

  • I am a NC country gal temporarily stuck in Chicago.  When I feel really homesick, and lonely, I play this song, and it makes me feel closer to my people and my mountains.

  • I want everyone who listens to this song to go and listen to a song such as "99 Problems" for example.

    Come back and tell me how disgusted you are that THAT is todays music!

  • My friend drove the bus on the James Taylor Carol King tour. He said James Taylor is the same off stage as he is on stage. He said James Taylor is a kind, gentleman to everyone. He was so proud to have met James Taylor.

  • going to school in Albuquerque, and I love it here. But nothing can change the pride I have in my North Carolina home. In my mind, I'm always in Carolina

  • This song makes me proud to be from North Carolina (best State ever). :)

  • i can remember my mother singin this to me when i was young, thanks mom for all that you introduced me to , i miss you and you live in me forever

  • love this song!

  • "Like" just seems so inadequate. Absolutely stunning. Thank you.

  • watched 'funny people' today, JT is wonderful

  • iHeard This On The Movie Funny People, And iHad To Find It To Hear It Again, He Has A Voice That Is So Unique. Who couldn't Like This? All iListen To Is Metal/Screamo.. But This Song Is Amazing. So What That Person Up There Said About This Song Bringing Generations together Is 100% True.

  • what kind of asshole dislikes this. i just assume it was a misclick.

  • my uncle passed away to this song.... he was shot in the head and this song was played at his funeral

  • James Taylor has a pumpkin collection?! Awesome!

  • do u ever feel like you belong somewhere else even tho you live a world away

  • For all natives and transplants who have made this diverse, friendly state their home.

  • @led1071.,, may they always have Carolina in their minds,,,it's always in mine..live in Tn,, but my heart is in NC, especially now that Irene is making its way over the Carolina beaches , the good folks of NC are in my thoughts and prayers.

  • FUCK FACEBOOK.

  • This song always makes me think of my uncle who passed away this summer ay 39. every summer our family would go down north carolina and he would be obsessed with surfing and every day we werent there, he would fantacise about going back and how good the next time would be, especially this year. Why did he have to go:( hopefully hes surfin those waves in carolina right now. R.I.P keith, until our next meeting...

  • The pictures for this video make the song even better. Some of them are really nice. Especially the one at 4:20 :) with the Sun shining in the forest and 1:30 with all the multi-colored trees. That looks like it could be in someones aquarium or on another planet.

    If I saw someone litter in any place like these pics it would take a lot of restraint to not to put my hand through their head.

  • adam sandler got me here wow such a song

  • @500maxpax yeh same as me haha

  • I miss my home in NC!

  • i'm from south carolina, but i love my northern cousins

  • james taylor is one of my favorite artists, but when i talk about him to anybody outside of my family they're just like........who? and im thinking, how the hell can they NOT KNOW who james taylor is????? it pisses me off

  • Comment removed

  • @AnneEliz97 I know right, I just love me some James Taylor

  • @AnneEliz97 You have been touched by the great James Taylor. Don't let it bring you down,your just more worldly than most. Another JT Fan.

    

  • @AnneEliz97 I agree with you. Teenagers these days have no taste in the old classic music such as this. I shake my head in disbelief. I am a teenager in Highschool and I am appreciative that my parents have introduced me to such classic music such as this. It opened my eyes and I can say that music such as this is more creative than computer generated beats that they use in rap crap. I WANT THE OLD MUSIC TO DOMINATE THE RADIOS AND TAKE OFF THE ANNOYING POP AND RAP

  • @REDSCOUT3 it pisses me off that there is only one station that plays the old classics, i can bearly pick it up on a good day and if my truck didn't have the old dial radio in it i wouldn't have found it

  • I've never been to Carolina, but i've been there in my mind.

  • @danny6655 I lived there for 11 years. Its unappreciatively beautiful there if you live there.

  • @danny6655 amen brother

  • This song is the theme song for so many of myself and my friends. Born and raised in North Carolina and having spent many college summers in NC at camp this song is so perfect!

  • i listen to this song on my way to the beach in south carolina and on my way home!!!

  • awesome music

  • 10 people absolutely lost! may they know the peace that is and of this song!

  • i love this song and my girl lives in nc but im from al

  • thank's man for this

  • I'm Dutch but when I was 5 months old we moved to NC, I lived there for 4 years and it may seem strange, but it was the happiest time of my life.

    I miss it.

    NC in my mind.

  • Very very beautiful. Thanks !

  • long beach oak island NC = first love
