The song really resonates with me somehow, and the lead singer is perfect for the message.<br />I haven't seen the movie yet, but will make a point to do so now that I know about it. <br />No matter how often I leave, home is always where my heart is.

It simply isn't the sort of movie that I often see... and I have so little time for movies anyway that I can't imagine it jumping the queue ahead of many movies on the unseen list for years.<br /><br />This is a great battle, though. I really like the song a lot, and both bands do a good job; I like them both. In fact, I had to listen to them twice to make my choice.<br /><br />I am going with SS&C. It starts off too slowly, but really like that Lumineers/Mumford and Sons sound they get rolling with after a couple of minutes!<br />Sixgun McItchyfingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06992204092539589944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-59288104893408679492019-06-17T21:32:57.292-07:002019-06-17T21:32:57.292-07:00Michael, you've got it!

Over the years whenever I'd pass by Marion I'd look down from the highway and long to visit. Other than stopping for gas a few times off the exit, I never actually went into Marion until 2017 after which I stayed a couple of times. Marion would be a huge contrast to L.A. where I have convenient access to anything I need. But these days I don't seem to need all that much. The big city is okay, but I just don't trust the governments in charge out here in California.<br /><br />I encourage you to watch <i>Greatest Showman</i>. It's better than just about any movie musical that I've seen.<br /><br />A vote for <b>Forsaken Hero</b>.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-50419688604041503192019-06-17T04:45:08.498-07:002019-06-17T04:45:08.498-07:00Lee,

We pass through Marion, VA on our visits to see my parents who live about 30-mins from Wytheville, VA off south I-77. Marion is smaller than Maryville and this might be a bit of culture shock. To off set the need for some of the convenience of city life you will find some of that in some of the nearby communities of Abington or Wytheville and of course Bristol which is a little further away. The temperatures that far north will be cooler and purrhaps a bit more winter related weather than what we have in the Tennessee Valley. You'll definitely like the area with the Applachian mountains surrounding the area. If you're content with staying at home then those semi-rural towns might be a purrfect fit for you someday. :)<br /><br />Now to answer your questions...<br /> <br />Home is anyplace I share with DH. :)<br />Where do you think of as your home? Although I long for a new home and we are in the market, I am quite content anywhere as long as DH is with me. I guess reasonable circumstances are things that meet our basic needs protection against the elements, warmth in the winter, cool in the summer, and generally a safe haven. We have not seen The Greatest Showman yet. I'm not near the fan of mewsicals as I once was so I'm not eager to buy or rent the movies but if it comes available on one of our streaming services then I'd like to see it because it does have an amazing soundtrack. :)<br /><br />I'm scaling back in Blogosphere but I'll do my best to visit you often and I'll still keep my Monday's Mewsic Moves Me posts running while on my semi-blogging break.

I’m a homebody as well and love my home but home can be made anywhere.
