This song still gives me chills. Jennifer is so familiar to me because she reminds me of where I come from, and how I grew up. She, in so many ways, reminds me of a family friend who, even after my parents died, would still call me and ask how I was doing. I haven’t been “back home” in a long time, but whenever I have these songs playing, I hear everything about myself that I feel is part of my foundation. We all have roots. Mine are deep, and I’m never going to stop being proud of them.
