train - save me san francisco (studio-2011) yeah, it's a little cheesy, but when you're homesick ...

this one will always bring ya back, at least for a few minutes ... esp. when you know where every camera shot was taken from, including the theater where the show is ...

Besides all the great City shots, I'll always love this video's denouement ...

Also, my mom's name (who's back in The Bay) ... is Elaine

Best enjoyed LOUD

I grew up in San Francisco and I loved all the neighborhood shots.

The city isn't what it used to be - insular and entitled - but it will always be my home no matter where I live.

Edit: I love the ending too! And thanks for sharing this.

I've been living down in the desert the whole time since this song came out, but I've played it so many times, lol ...

Don't think I've ever watched the vid without my eyes welling up at least a little bit ...

Traveled a lot in my long life. San Francisco will always be my favorite city.

We live in Oregon now, so not too far away. Used to get down there fairly frequently when my FIL was alive. Not as often now.

Thanks again.
