This is not like home - Great Lake Swimmers

[ClearViewport]

im at oversea and i miss my country, this is not like home

[1983rsma]

if you've seen end of silence this is the song that is played when the girlfriend decides to leave the relationship/ country. it is an indie movie, and sarah harmer plays the ex-wife. the character who fell in love is french canadian with a multicultural background.

[TheSuperRunner]

I saw Great Lake Swimmers live, and they were simply amazing.

[khairulayul89]

The lead singer sounds like James Morrison... but nonetheless, this song is Beautiful!

not at all, not at all

[ve3kiu]

recorded in an old abandoned grain silo. You can hear the crickets in the background.

Fantastic observation, never noticed them before, just had it as 'noise' in the past, wow.

Also, the most moving GLS song I've heard and I've only heard the s/t and Ongiara, the s/t is something else.

I recall listening to this song over and over when debating moving back to where I grew up. Really hit even more as it still does now after moving back.

What a song, nice to see such an awesome video with many views not have a dislike for a change also.

The singer's name is Tony Dekker.

[hardheadteacher]

Good peaceful music. Even rockers need it sometimes. This guy is great.

[oldmoviemusic]

A perfect song. It captures memories, their beauty, sentimentality, embarrassment, sadness, loss, hope, simplicitiy, loneliness. It is the moment driving at 4 o'clock in the morning, all alone, watching the sun rise in cool hazy blues above the fields, the moment when you know you will never meet that person again, when you feel something die inside at the loss of something you never even had. It is the hope of heartbreak.

[glendagreat]

[Medication4You12]
