Hard agree. I have been listening to it non stop. The opening line “Do you want to go to the river? I know a spot deep and green. Where the wild raspberries and apple trees. And rocks to climb between” hit me like a bus. I immediately thought of some place so beautiful I was able to live for a while - western Massachusetts. But it can mean all kinds of places for any listener. When I first heard that opening I was transferred back to that beautiful place. I reflected on the complicated relationships and life circumstances that are no longer.
