    Story Behind the Song
    This is one from birdseyeviewfromacage that we rearranged for a full on band. The vocals are beefed up too. Eric tossed in the bass, and Jason came up with a drum part, and we recorded it. It's all one-take, save for the vocals, which I overdubbed.

    Lyrics
    Grandmother once said that
    there's a root to cure all
    which ails in these hills.
    Wish I knew
    if that were true,
    because I'm searching still
    for a root buried deep
    far underneath,
    down beneath the ground--
    too far to be seen...
    too much like me?
    I hope not too far to be found.

    [chorus]
    Is this Appalachia anymore?
    Cause I'm not who I used to be anymore,
    With my one foot in, one out the door
    of some sacrificed world.

    Grandmother was ignorant but wise,
    quite unlike the men these days
    with their never-ever eyes
    that say you can't go home--
    well, this I can't deny,
    but though these hills have changed,
    the greatest change
    was always mine.

    Now it's me I abhor.
