On the west coast of the United States, where I live in California, we don't really have fireflies. And the first time I encountered them was when I was very young. In Omaha, Nebraska there are fireflies... And I seem to remember capturing some in a jar along the same lines as the lyric from this song. Anyway, I don't remember why they glow, but they do.
This song makes me feel good about being myself, and when I lose my way, I go here. I listen to this and know this point of reference. This is a sound that meant something to me, and even when nothing made sense - this made sense.
This song is special for about a million reasons... I think it's really universal. It doesn't matter if you're African American, Asian, White, or even Hispanic like me. The lyrics are true, and Boyd delivers them with precision and elegance.
This is here because I love my fiance, and I told her how to find me on the site and to look at the music I post if she wants to.
