I was born in Oregon then went to college... joined the military.. lived in 14 states, three countries, two wars...I got out of the Army and the first thing I did was move back to Oregon after 17 years. I took my mom to a Duck game and they played this song. I had never heard it before and it blew me away how close it hit home (especially with 58,000 fellow Oregonians singing along) EDIT: Unfortunately Covid got mom on Valentines Day last year but at least she could say she saw a game in Autzen.

[@nathan12291]

I wasn't born there . I was born in N.Y.C. But I call Oregon my home state. Been away from there for to long hope to move back for good in next few years. I love this song so much GO DUCKS NOT BUCKEYE. YES I LIVE IN HELL Buckeye world. I wear my green and yellow every weekend.

[@bradhite8459]

Awesome. I've lived all over the country, mainly from Florida, lived in Eugene the last three years but now in the Bay Area and there's nowhere I'd rather be than Oregon.

[@tammypoleski447]

I didn't do college first, joined the military, and am trying to get back home now, this video is awesome because it shows autzen being built, I have pictures of my grandfather who was on that construction crew there at autzen as they were building it. This is an awesome song and video...Oregon the best place to live in all the world!

I'm a 6th generation of pioneer Oregonians who are buried in the Pioneer Cemetery on U of O property. I grew up in Coos County Oregon for 28 years. I've lived in California and Washington for many years. This song encapsulates exactly how I feel about Oregon. I hope even non-Duck fans that have left their heart in Oregon can appreciate the sentiment like I do. Thank you, Mr. Kearney. Woody Guthrie would have been very proud of this song!

[@tarico4436]

If it's the cemetery I remember on campus (how many can there be?) it was, oh, a hundred or two hundred yards away from the music building. Anyway, at that one I remember one of the dirt path/short cuts went right over a grave. We'd get drunk there sometimes.......... Ahhhh, mammaries.

[@aaronvm8195]

Born and raised in Oregon (minus 3 years in California when i was 5). Dad was Disc Jockey, went where the work was, Klamath Falls, Grants Pass, Salem, Portland, until I graduated High School in Grants Pass. That was the late 80's through the 90's, and I really can't remember a time of my life that was more open for exploration as a youth with the vast array of landscapes, rivers, coast lines, and open forests to traverse. I moved to Utah in 2001, always wanted my childhood experience in Oregon to pass on to my own kids, possibly move back some day. But there are too many freedoms I have currently that Oregon would not afford, such as my being a Gun owner, and the decline of Portland and various once beautiful towns and cities. Oregon has become California in many respects, and it saddens me to have so many fond memories of what was once a great State.

[@SurferMan127]

I have been waiting my entire life for someone to write a song like this about Oregon. A pop song with mild indie influences; a mix of acoustic and electric instrumentation; clever verse lyrics and an resoundingly uplifting chorus. Not too hot, not too cold, it's just right. It perfectly captures both the state itself and its unique place in every resident's heart. And, love them or hate them, the Ducks are more FUN to watch than just about any other team, in any sport, collegiate or professional.

First time I heard this song was at my son's first game as a Duck. I'm a California man but I gotta say that song got me.

Born in Eugene, Oregon, watched Duck games when you could sit anywhere and had my heart torn out so many times in the 4th quarter. Moved to Bay Area California in 1987 for my first real job, spent 10 years there then transferred to Northwest Washington, I was one of the very, very few Duck fans there. Continued to go to Duck games in mid 2000's, mandatory retirement in 2015, moved back to Central Oregon in 2017. This song hit home for a native son. Still brings a little moisture to the eyes. Go Ducks!

Graham Thalacker They invaded Oregon in their bike shorts and SUVs, pocketing enough money from selling their two room shacks in San Jose to buy OMSI.... They drove up housing prices until normal folk couldn't afford to buy a home and raised taxes or increased regulations until they couldn't find a job.... Now they think giving people who work at Micky D's $15 an hour will somehow appease the downtrodden masses they've created.... I appreciate their good intentions but loathe the unintended consequences of their naivety. I doubt I'll ever return because the place that I remember, the land of my first love, doesn't really exist anymore.

I listened to this song once while riding the Amtrak Coast Starlight passenger train back home from Los Angeles, California to Portland, Oregon. I was visiting family there. I took the train from Portland to LA and back. This song is amazing while watching the beautiful scenery roll by, especially the portion of the route from Klamath Falls, Oregon to Portland, Oregon.

my dad played this song all the time when I was little , just remembered it and looked it up immediately. I never lived in Oregon, but my dad did and this used to be my absolute favorite song. it makes me feel so happy. We used to visit Oregon every year for a family reunion when I was little and I truly do believe that I left my heart in Oregon. such an amazing place. My dad loves it there so much that his store is called famous in Oregon, a plant shop because plants are truly famous in Oregon.

I used to live in Oregon. I made amazing friends throughout my time there. I went to beautiful places and experienced unimaginable things. I live in Oklahoma now and am having the same experiences and I love it but I will always be an Oregonian at heart. For the rest of my life. ❤️🌲

Born and raised in canby! With everything that has been going on with our state as of late (riots in Portland and other major cities) makes me want to move, but I keep coming back to this song to show/tell myself how beautiful this state actually is. Doesn’t matter what people try to do to it. If it comes down to it I will proudly defend my state. My heart belongs to Oregon and wants to say!

Please don't move here. We are overpopulated. Ugh damn transplants

After 13 years of living in Indiana this song is the perfect reminder of why I'm moving back to Oregon!

Even someone who goes to school in such a beatiful state as montana misses the great cascades of the northwest. Oregon will be home soon
