you people need to learn how to analyze things from an ambiguous perspective. He's not talking about utah or the bible, he's talking about the rock and roll myth of the open road as an escape from pain or boredom (listen to thunder road by springsteen or you don't know how it feels by tom petty if you're still confused).

moab is obviously important because its out west, where these fantasies (rt. 66) took place, its status as a bible story just adds resonance to its mythological importance.

I live in Moab, Utah and this song has absolutely nothing to do with this canyon country tourist hub.

@kennygr8 you love every conor song ehh?

you should.

[Snight101]

Didn't you do this on the modest mouse song too ken?

@cftool0 Yes

This song has inspired me to go drive across the nation. Well, that is, made me have an undeniable passion to do so. If it happens, it happens, if not, well, I'll just make my place in the hills.

And of all the comments about what it's about, well, it's said right in the lyrics:

There's nothing that the road can't heal.

apparently Kenny likes this song

cont...

It's about hitting the road to get become someone else, it is NOT about hitting the road to play music, and Moab was never a destination for Route 66ers...it's a desert escape for granola hippies who reject the City and all of it's modern synthetic roboticism.

In my opinion.

[Kennelmouth]

...cont

This song isn't "Turn the Page" - it isn't about the trials of taking the show on the road. It's about leaving an old life behind and starting over somewhere else that is completely new, someplace that will reinvent you, and shake off all the remnants and debris that has become part of you.

@ThisIsTheYear1989

What the hell does Moab have to do with Route 66? If you're going to spout off as if you're some kind of expert try to stick to a topic that you know something about.
