the first time i heard this song i was 12 years old & i had just purchased the album green. i was sitting my room & this song came on & i immediately loved the crickets. it made me think of so many different things. childhood, my grandparents, love, death, the south, humidty, rain. my mother was dying of cancer at the time & it made me think of the way my father looked at her as he was losing her. their love was so strong & so real. i remember saying out loud when the song was over "this is the song i will dance with my husband to on my wedding day."
sixteen years later my husband & i danced to that song on our wedding day as the sun went down & it poured down rain on a hot & humid september evening.
i am now using the song to put together my son's first birthday photo montage.
i love this song so much & it has really become such a part of my life.
thank you everyone else for your comments on the song. i really enjoyed reading them.
