I am a Hoosier, but I live in Bloomington, so I don't really know what it's like to live in the country, but I love living in a college town. There's so much diversity and the people are very accepting. I love living in a town with so much personality!
Jon's gift for writing and then singing melodies that nestle in one's brain very quickly is a gift from above. Soothing and comforting, yet at the same time thought -provoking. Such an observing mind. We must all support this young genius by buying his albums. They are treasures.
I'm from Indiana, and in a few days, I'll be moving to London to further pursue my acting career. I'm good friends with high actors, so I have a good chance. But no matter how far I go, I will always remember the home where I started. The picture-perfect pastures, nice places, nice people... I'll miss it, but it won't be gone forever.
I wish I would have heard this song 20 years ago. 20 years ago, I left my home and went out and chased "it." I lived on a mountain, I lived next to the water, and I rubbed elbows with some of the most famous people in the world. I'd give it all back to go home.
I live in Indiana and I keep wishing I was somewhere else.. but whenever I think about leaving, I get cold feet because I know nothing would compare to being here. Sometimes it's hard to admit you love where you live.
"Where every day is a battle to convince myself, i'm glad she never fell in love with me". That line in the lyrics refers to the "she" being Indiana and the reason why he is glad that she never fell in love with me is because you will always love more to that which might love you slightly less and that is where he so eloquently explains such a deep love for Indiana. I'm from Indiana and even though me and this state have always had a love-hate relationship, where else would i be.
Thumbs up if you are, and will forever be, a Hoosier. I love this state more then words can ever describe, and extend a thanks to Mr. McLaughlin for this.
Hit me with a thumbs up if you are, and will forever be a Hoosier. I love this state more then words can ever describe. Thank you for the song Mr. McLaughlin.
perfect songgg<33333 love itt. found it on Pandora and i soon fell in loveee :))) i love this song but havent heard any of his other songsss:((( i will later, but for now..this is all ill venture out too::))))) <333333 this song.....even though im more of a medal girl/pop...this is ONE that i likeee :))))))))))))) I<33Bayside<3333 ohhh and alysssaaa<33333333333333 =))))))))) <---- DOUBLE CHIN!
I ended up leaving home to go to school in Indiana. Every time I listen to this song it makes me think of someone I loved very deeply but not anymore. I think the lyrics he wrote matches perfectly with how it feels to live in Indiana, I just wish he sung it a little better lol.
I live in a small town in, you-guessed-it, Indiana, and this is by far my favorite song. Not because it mentions Indiana, but because it explores the universal feeling of wanting to be loved so eloquently.
"Indiana" captures the anguish of unrequited love and imagining the infinite what-might-have-been. Hypothetically, it could have been wonderful, but it's easy to get over missing out.
That's exactly what i thought about this song first time i heard it. Probably the part where the girl grew up and she no longer plays with the cowgirl doll. Toy Story 2, I guess
i live in newfoundland, canada. while i guy i love lives in indiana. we ended because of distance, etc.... this song is way too close to my heart.....wow....i have never heard of john mclaughlin before but i am sure this vid will be on repeat for awhile....
you can view our little story on my site: danan77. The vid is called venimon and bogdana (we used those weird russian-ish names to jokingly call eachother) I tried to capture the distances we traveled to be together....i am happy to report, we realized distance can be overcome. We have decided to not fight fate and let this wonderful road take us on an amazing journey together.
