iTunes gave me this song instead of Our House by graham nash, what a treat, this is a great song.

This is a great song. Mary Chapin Carpenter does a magnificent job here of reaching out to a certain generation with the lyrics... very meaningful....

Such a beautiful song. I first heard it in early 1996 when I watched the movie "Bye Bye Love" with my parents. I was 13 years old at that time, and thought it was beautiful then. Reminds me of childhood and growing up, and brings me back to that nice time in my life where anything was possible and everything was innocent. Thanks for sharing. :-)

@anfocal Thanks so much for your insightful analysis of this gorgeous song. Great to see so many appreciative comments for the clip. She doesn't need a band! Incidentally, I'm the guy who recorded this performance from the Australian current affairs show "Sunday" and gave the video to my good friend smscmaster to load on to YouTube. I'm just rapt it's still here - so many good things get deleted or wrecked by Vevo. She's a very special songwriter.

This song always gets me right in the gut.

One of America's most under-rated singer/songwriters.
If her name was Barry Chapin Carpenter, I'm sure it would be a different story.

She is my favorite artist and I feel her story telling and ability to put everyday feelings into her songs is unlike anyone else.

One of my most favorite songs by her. Thanks for the posting

Best female lyricist in my opinion. Those words are chilling without the music. With the music it just brings tears to the eyes. She has the gift of seeing the world through diferent eyes, if only we could all learn to see the same way...

(1) I have always loved this song, like a beautiful tapestry Mary weaves in three presidential links, one for each verse, (pledge of allegiance, the Kennedys and in the third verse the "thousand points of light" refers to George Bush seniors depiction of America's next generation in his inauguration speech) . The stones in the road present as an ever changing metaphor, from the Christian Anderson depiction of Hansel and Gretel's pebbles (the umbilical chord back from whence you came) shone like
