MCC Again

[stoutfellow]

I've talked about Mary Chapin Carpenter a couple of times. In this post, I identified I Am a Town as my favorite of her songs.

It's been replaced, I think. Almost Home is just gorgeous, and the chorus brings tears to my eyes.

I'm not running
I'm not hiding
I'm not reaching
I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open
Gonna pull my soul in
And I'm almost home

This sounds like a very comforting kind of song.

Actually (this is Carpenter, after all), the tenor is more joyfully defiant, or defiantly joyful, or sumpin'. It's comforting, yes, but not in a "there, there" way...
