I do wonder though if Calexico got the names houses mixed up when writing this song. Valparaiso=vale of paradise. |

This Very GrooVy Song, Rocks!

Let's see, Valparaiso Indiana, home of a 3 day Popcorn festival and Valparaiso University or Valparaíso Chile, a very groovy city and commune of Chile? My guess is that after spending time in Valparaiso Indiana, this song was not written about Valparaiso Indiana! Did you notice where they said "Such a beautiful place?" Neither popcorn or a university where students wish they had other scenery then cows and a Walmart parking lot would qualify for that description. Notice that you did not hear pickups honking and cows. Obviously, this was written about Valparaiso, Chile! LOL. Come on, Hoosiers, turn your brains on. It won't kill you, I promise. =) |

It sounds like a little Iron and Wine on this cut. I do like it when they collaborate...

I see what you did there Bill! Previous song, Bruce Cockburn mentions sitting in a bar listening to Superchunk and Friends of Dean Martinez. 2 guys from FoDM went on to form Calexico.
