Yep, that was how I viewed the song too. She comes to terms with the paths their lives are on. So good though.

PSR, I always had a similar interpretation of the song, of the friend being surprised by where she finds herself but happy. And that the wistfulness comes from being so far away from her friend, both in distance and style of life.

Your interpretation of Anchorage surprised me. I’ve alwas heard it the exact opposite way – that the friend realized she was happy being a mom and housewife, and was kind of surprised by it.

Love Michelle, btw. Happy to see some other fans.

Great post. I also love “Memories of East Texas.”

And I mean to tell you my friend

Anchorage is an effing great song. So is Quality of Mercy.
