Ive been looking for freedom — Hometown

"Round my hometown, memories are fresh Round my hometown, ooh, the people Ive met Are the wonders of my world"

"That you need a village, if only for the pleasure of leaving it. Your own village means that youre not alone, that you know theres something of you in the people and the plants and the soil, that even when you are not there it waits to welcome you."

"There is a reason why I came back to this place—came back here instead of to Canelli, Barbaresco or Alba. It is almost certain that I was not born here; where I was born I dont know. There is not a house or a bit of ground or a handful of dust hereabouts of which I can say: "This was me before I was born."

"Home town, where the garden trees are shady Thats where Edie was a lady Im going back to see those corny country cousins of mine"
