"Home is wherever I'm with you"
This is a line from the song "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero. It was played in a YouTube video starring ManCup and Kitfox and it was a montage of the couple walking the Appalachian Trail (from Georgia to Maine) in 2012. It offered me a peek into their journey as I followed their steps on the long, winding trail. I observed them facing various weather conditions, in addition to resting at multiple spots. Though I wasn't with them (obviously), a vicarious feeling came to me as the camera placed me alongside them.
The above line intrigues me for I never thought of home as someplace wherever I'm with someone. The boyfriend-girlfriend couple in the video embodied that statement as I watched them engage with nature-and each other! They smooched, swam in the lake, felt the trees, pet a cat, and stepped on logs. I like how the camera focused on the couple's happy countenance because it told me they are enjoying themselves-with nature and each other.
