music like this one make u feel something that everyone have, in this case it make u feel nostalgic about a blace that feel like home, maybe u never been in wes virginia for example, but u have a place in mind that u relate to "home", in my case i have been 5 years almost out of my motherland, so i relate this song to that, songs like this one are the trully tesure of music

Why must it be a gift God? Can it not just be a beautiful human endeavour and emotional expression? Everything doesn't have to go through a Christian filter.

[@mitchelmcgowan3788]

@@Zumoari I never mentioned Jesus. I do believe in Christ. I said it’s a gift from God because music is special. The emotions you can feel from the melody, instruments and lyrics is something almost surreal. Music can do supernatural things to a persons soul.

[@amoebastampede9357]

You're absolutely right when you say everyone around the world can relate to it. While visiting Egypt 25 years ago, I stepped into a Cairo hotel elevator and met a young man as well as an older man who wore a traditional djellaba, turban, and long white beard. The younger man seemed a little confused by my western-hemisphere clothing: "You look Arabic, but..." "I'm from the United States." "Oh. Whereabouts?" "West Virginia." The older man then smiled and started singing "Country roads, take me home..." One of my favorite memories!

That old station wagon never stopped anywhere for long.
