You did a great job making this video. I know how hard it is to time stuff and music to get the effect one wants, took me 2 months on my wedding video. GET JOB!!
I want to get out of the state! I've only been to 2 different states in my life and it's so annoying, I want to leave! But if my mom said "flip a coin, heads Carolina, tails California" with my luck it would probably be tails since I've lived in the same house in the same city in California since the day I was born.
Always thought this was Jo Dee's best song, but it wasn't as popular as some of her later work. One quibble--it should say "we can drive all night, and then we'll take a look at a map."
I took California a long time ago (at birth). Its not all Los Angeles and San Francisco from end to end. Think National Parks (Redwoods, Yosemite, Kings Canyon, Sequoia, Channel Islands, Lassen, Joshua Tree, Death Valley) plus the North Coast, Big Sur, the Sierra Nevada, Lake Tahoe. We've got natural beauty most states can only dream of.
As a native Californian, I recognize the Golden Gate Bridge (well, come to think of it, everyone probably does, it's so iconic...I've been on it, though! :) ) but since "Carolina" is divided up into North and South Carolina, and I've never been to either, I have to ask just what place that's depicting. Where is it? :)
Also, yeah, that "somewhere warmer" doesn't look very warm LOL! But I loved the video as a whole. Very clever.
@youme150 Completely disagree. I have family in CA and I'm from SC. CA is choked with large cities. You have to drive far away from each city for a decent area. Not the same in the Carolinas. The Carolinas are way better than California.
There is so much to love about the USA. One of the best is the Big Blue Sky; pick up and look for new opportunity. I moved 10 times as a kid when my father went from assembly line worker to major executive. The good and the bad-but there is always the Freedom to be better.
two weeks after we first got married we took our first trip so my husband could meet my parents, this song was the first to hit the radio as we pulled onto the interstate. It has become our road trip song.
Hi windyseashores. I look at songwriters too (well, not always, since it's not directly listed) but what I mean is that that's the most interesting thing to me. The talent of writing the song is 90+% of the story, with performance important, but lagging far behind. Gretchen Peters and Alan Jackson are two of my favorites.
Usually I hate these photo/animated videos but this was done very, very nicely and it was a pleasure to watch. To the author of this video, thank you for your boredom/time well spent!!! :D
Hey hun I loved how you did this ...very creative. And yeah girl, sometimes I feel I need to get out of whre I'm at...unfortunatley I dontt have anyone to go with me lol But that shouldnt matter right?....anyway great job hun...love..Ashley
Great song--I don't think it really enjoyed the success it deserves.
One quibble though: the line "we can drive for a day, and then we'll take a look at the map" should have been "we can drive all night, and then........."
haha, yeah...believe me I know the video's not good, but it was something fun to do in a boring 2 day period. I love the song too.Thanks for commenting!
I wish but my friend was in a hurry to go after the last song to try and avoid traffic. but we saw her limo and tour bus. i don't know why she had both there though... But she was really good!!
A classic (:
