Alright, so my oldest just showed me this video and now I’m crying. There’s not much I miss about California, but I didn’t realize how much I missed those desert skies. They were a gorgeous, ever-changing kaleidescope from horizon to horizon, like nothing I’ve ever seen since.

I love the lyrics, too. If this song had come out 30 years ago, it would have been on every one of my mix tapes. Big feelings blaring from my boom box into the expanse of scrubby brush and cactus sands.
