This was one of the very first Joanna songs I heard. It wasn't until later that I realized what an abrupt change in style it was for her compared to her past work.

The instrumentation is amazing; I absolutely love the rich sound of the trombone. Joanna's voice is perfect.

I grew up and live in Montana, and every summer and winter when I was young we would stay at a cabin bang smack in the middle of nowhere. The journey to said cabin involves driving a winding, bumpy road up the side of a mountain that has seen little travel. It is a place that is very dear to me. This song reminds me of that: of the nights spend by the wood stove in the dead of winter, of the moon shining through the pine trees, of trudging down the mountain to the creek. It amazes me how Joanna perfectly achieved such a warm, woodsy sound that so vividly recalls American folk music, yet is entirely her own. This is one of my comfort songs. The awesome thing about Joanna is that I have a very strong response to her music, similar to the response I have to Tori's, yet entirely different. It's hard to describe, but it gives me such a profound sense of happiness and makes me truly happy to be alive (gosh, that sounds so cheesy! I wish I could articulate it better). Anyway, this song is 10/10 for me. Joanna, as always, wins me over completely.
