"This CD is what I like most, especially the hit song "Take me home, country road". I am a Taiwanese; I have been in the United States for 3 years. The first time I hear the song is from the FM radio in Syracuse, NY. On that time, I am impressed, even feel a little excited and wanna cry! And then, I drove to West Virginia. I found that it's a really nice place.You may feel that I am crazy, but I am not really one. Think about that:
If a song can drive people to do something, this is the success song.In the first part:
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River -I found that the river there is really natural like a country lady - cute and pure.In the third paragraph:
Teardrop in my eye.Put with the rest lyrics, I really had some tear in my eye.When listening the repeated lyrics, I cried out...I know that the United States suffered a lot after 911 attack, but no matter how bitter it is, West Virginia is there, and American is there. I want to say "Thank you, American.". In these 3 years, I got a lot. If I have time, I will visit this place again.May god bless American, and to all American:
Remember the song:Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong......"
