I just love Iris's quirky voice.
I cry every time I hear this song.

love you sweetheart.

Iris's facial expressions indicates that she means what she is saying - not the case with many singers.

I think this is the most perfect song to have played at the end of the last episode of Northern Exposure.

Hey, everybody who watches this video, send it to everyone in your e-mail address book. I bet in no time, this song will become one of the most beloved songs of the twentieth century. It already ranks right up there with "You Are My Sunshine." You just can't get any better than this.

The counter must be broken. I've been here at LEAST that many times. I replay this several times each day & never tire of it. My heartthrob, ELH, blends perfectly into Iris' wonderful performance and I can't imagine better musical accompaniment. It's absolutely true that 'you can't go home again' ~ "HOME" is a time & a place. You can sometimes revisit the 'place', but not the 'time' ~ that lives on only in our personal memories, making us solely responsible for keeping those sweet ghosts alive.

@marah1030 Maybe the best video ever made? Settle down girl, it's a good song and video.
-
We performed "Our Town", the play, and this was our closing song. It was the perfect end to a perfect performance.
-
Maybe the greatest music video ever made. Oh to have been a guest in the room when this was recorded.
Anyone know where this was filmed? Maybe it's available on DVD or something? A documentary, maybe? Would love to have a copy if so. "Wheels of Love"; which Iris wrote; is also shot in this same living room setting. That's ANOTHER great song!
