Anchorage - Michelle Shocked 10"

Product Information

I think the song's about a couple of friends who used to be wild and free, but one of them got married, had some kids, and found herself kind of stuck in Alaska as a housewife while the other is still out there, living the musician's life.

that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.In her reply, her friend realizes she might have become a housewife "anchored down in Anchorage" but still dreaming about her childhood in Texas with her good friend Michelle, who went on to an exciting life as a musician and a "skateboard punk rocker in New York".

We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc.Some user-contributed text on this page is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License; additional terms may apply.

I am honestly really surprised at how little understanding there is of this song - obviously she has been fawning over this old female friend of hers for some time, and there are multiple suggestions that they might have hooked up at some previous time; her ex-crush is now "anchored down in Anchorage", whereas she would prefer her to be available, now that, as the letter to her seems to suggest, she realizes her entrapment in Alaska/heterosexuality, etc. The song peaked at number 66 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and also charted in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, reaching the top 75 in these countries. Her musical career was ignited by a bootleg recording made around a Kerrville Folk Festival campfire on a Sony walkman.On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. As a young feminist, she left Texas to travel, Kerouac-style, and was caught up in Reagan-era grassroots politics.
