Does this make anyone else cry when they listen to it.

I was born in Oregon then went to college... joined the military.. lived in 14 states, three countries, two wars...I got out of the Army and the first thing I did was move back to Oregon after 17 years. I took my mom to a Duck game and they played this song. I had never heard it before and it blew me away how close it hit home (especially with 58,000 fellow Oregonians singing along) EDIT: Unfortunately Covid got mom on Valentines Day last year but at least she could say she saw a game in Autzen.

Oregons National anthem.

I'm from Italy, I lived in Oregon for 6 months and I LEFT MY HEART IN OREGON!!!

You know it's an inspiring song when you're from Virginia yet feel that you too left your heart in Oregon.

I'm a 6th generation of pioneer Oregonians who are buried in the Pioneer Cemetery on U of O property. I grew up in Coos County Oregon for 28 years. I've lived in California and Washington for many years. This song encapsulates exactly how I feel about Oregon. I hope even non-Duck fans that have left their heart in Oregon can appreciate the sentiment like I do. Thank you, Mr. Kearney. Woody Guthrie would have been very proud of this song!

BEST STATE IN THE COUNTRY!!!

When the play this song before kickoff at Autzen is one of my favorite things ever. It gives me chills every time

When you come into Oregon via the east and the Columbia river Gorge opens up in the horizon uhhhh Hard to beat Oregon . Most beautiful place in the United states!

What a great song. Spent 34 years in Oregon. Left 10 years ago to take a job in Indiana. This song brought tears to my eyes. I've enjoyed my life in the Midwest but there is nowhere like "Home." Thank you Matt.

I'm from the Netherlands but I would love to live in Oregon, beautiful nature, awesome people

Born and raised in Eugene Oregon where now!! 💛💛💛💛💚💚💚💚💚 #GODUCKS

I have been waiting my entire life for someone to write a song like this about Oregon. A pop song with mild indie influences; a mix of acoustic and electric instrumentation; clever verse lyrics and an resoundingly uplifting chorus. Not too hot, not too cold, it's just right. It perfectly captures both the state itself and its unique place in every resident's heart. And, love them or hate them, the Ducks are more FUN to watch than just about any other team, in any sport, collegiate or professional.

Born and raised in Portland Oregon, currently stationed overseas and this song helps with those lonely days

I left my heart in Oregon about 70 years ago when our family spent the summer with family in Springfield. Wild black berries, picking corn and green beans! For a city kid this was great. Moved from Los Angeles to Oregon 10 years ago. I finally came home to Oregon!

My Californian born and bred daughter, now a UofO freshman hasn't stopped thanking me for putting up the $ for her to attend and this is the song she sang with heartfelt emotion at Thanksgiving. Oregon you have my heart and soul!

Ive lived in Oregon my whole life, how am I just now hearing this???

I'm so glad this video exists. I miss you, Oregon.

Lived in Oregon my entire life and have no plans on ever moving. I’ve visited multiple states and nothing compares. 💛💚 #GoDucks

Mat Kearney is so wonderful. I'm so glad I came across this.

So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself And I didn't know I was lost!

I went to my first Ducks game in Eugene last weekend and they played this song. I’ve never lived in Oregon but I felt I left my heart there. Maybe some day I’ll move there. Beautiful state!

I left my heart in Oregon. There will never have a place like Eugene

Born and raised in Oregon (minus 3 years in California when i was 5). Dad was Disc Jockey, went where the work was, Klamath Falls, Grants Pass, Salem, Portland, until I graduated High School in Grants Pass. That was the late 80's through the 90's, and I really can't remember a time of my life that was more open for exploration as a youth with the vast array of landscapes, rivers, coast lines, and open forests to traverse. I moved to Utah in 2001, always wanted my childhood experience in Oregon to pass on to my own kids, possibly move back some day. But there are too many freedoms I have currently that Oregon would not afford, such as my being a Gun owner, and the decline of Portland and various once beautiful towns and cities. Oregon has become California in many respects, and it saddens me to have so many fond memories of what was once a great State.

First time I heard this song was at my son's first game as a Duck. I'm a California man but I gotta say that song got me. Emotional day -- tribute to Veterans before the game (I'm a Navy guy), the game itself, the crowd, the spirit -- overwhelming. I love when they play this video and I hope they never stop. Gets me every damn time.

We lost to Auburn tonight now we are headed home to face Reno Nevada! We r coming home to the place of our first love, Autzen Stadium! They fought hard tonight I’m so proud of my Ducks win or lose!

I was born and raised in the beautiful state of Oregon, and my heart will always call this place home.

“Oregon makes the Northwest NORTHWEST!!”💚💛🌲

I live in Oregon, and I can say with confidence that Oregon is truly the best.

I miss this during Oregon football games. I'm dating someone from the bay area and when we'd go to games she never really understood what this means to Oregonians. People never will until they live here.

When this song plays at Austen everyone starts singing and dancing even players! The Atmosphere at Autzen is amazing when this song plays! ( And always ) So Ducks

Hard to believe that my wife and I taught his Sunday school class at Faith Center when he was 5 yrs old. WOW time fly's.

I was born in Oregon, and I went to the last Civil War between the Ducks and the Beavers in 2024 and this song played. It will be a game for the books

I’m coming home to the place I remember, but I’ve never been there, but my heart has been waiting. GO DUCKS

Love this. Oregon born and raised!!!

Wow that teared me up. Grew up in Oregon, Oregon alumni, now living in Texas. NOTHING is like home.

I cried when I heard this for the first time . I definitely left my heart in Oregon ❤️

Oregonian for life!!!!!

No matter how many times I play this it gives me chills! Thanks Mat for a great Anthem and reminder of home for those of us that cant be there!

Every time I see that duck my heart skips a beat.

I'm stationed in Missouri but I was born and raised in Medford. I miss my state like crazy, this song brings back so many memories. We truly live in the best state in the Union. Can't wait to come home.

IM FROM THE PHILIPPINES AND IT WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE IF I LIVE HERE IN OREGON 🥰!

I'm coming home to the land that I remember, I'm coming home to Oregon, I left my heart in Oregon ❤❤❤

Anyone still here from 2021

I lived in Oregon for 36 years moved to Idaho 3/6/2021 miss the friends and the Beautiful oregon . Heart will all always be in oregon.

It's good to be from Oregon.

Native son of the south Florida born and ga-raised. Spent 4 AMAZING years in Oregon courtesy of Uncle Sam. I cannot begin to describe how much of myself I discovered the wildernesses of Oregon. If I discovered this song when I was prepping for my move I would probably have gotten out of the military and stayed. I truly have left a piece of myself out there.

I was born in Las Vegas then moved back to Oregon and stay in Oregon unit 2013 unit needed to move to Ohio and my heart is in Oregon.

Born in Idaho, but always the only Duck fan in a family of Bronco fans. Proud to be a duck more than a decade. #GODUCKS

I'm an Oregon boy born and raised back road baby threw and threw my best memories and driving to fast down some old logging roads blaring music and shooting rifles and just enjoying nature

Love this song. Thinking of Eugene

This so brilliantly captures everything I treasure about my home state. Here's to all that love Oregon... and GO DUCKS!!!

Can't wait to sing along with this again at Autzen. Hopefully next year. #WearAMask

Born and raised in Oregon. I fell in love with it and wouldn't rather live anywhere else in the world.❤️❤️❤️

I've lived in Massachusetts my whole life but Oregon would definitely be one of the state's I would love to live in. I've grown up watching the Ducks. They just grew on me. And the State looks beautiful and filled with a lot of generous people. Hope to make it out there next year to see a game at Autzen. Go Ducks 🦆💪💚

I did leave my heart & soul in Oregon. Selling off everything in Pennsylvania and COMING HOME TO OREGON with this song on repeat for 3000 miles! I cry tears of joy when I hear this song.

Grew up in Oregon since I was a little boy, my best memories are all there. Graduated high school and immediately joined the military and moved away. Everyday I miss this place more, all my family is back there. Cant wait to move back one day.

I may be young but ORegon will always and forever be my home. I've spent all my 14 years of life here. I was born in Portland and have lived in Gresham for my whole life. I don't plan on living here forever but this will always be the place I come back to!

Let's go Oregon! I left my heart in Oregon and it is my favorite place on Earth.

Born and raised up the McKenzie River. Roamed the hills, floated the river and climbed a lot of trees. Played a lot of tackle football with the neighbors. Got to go to my first Oregon game when I was 12 and I was hooked! Never miss a chance to watch the games. I bleed green and yellow. Living in the state of Washington now, but waiting for that day when I can move back to Oregon. I can’t come too soon!

My daughter goes to UO I was born in Mexico, but when I hear this song Autzen stadium at the football game during parents weekend it sounds chills through my spirit , love this song , Go Ducks 🫶

I live in the UK and i absoloutly LOVE this song! Just wish I could live over there!

Moving here next week! I'm so psyched to live in the Pacific Northwest again!

This song helps where I live in Oregon in COVID-19 this will probably help us have the world back to normal

born and “raised” in Oregon and I just moved to Texas I’m feeling homesick right about now

Born in Cali but been a duck fan my whole life save me a seat at autzen when I get there my heart is in Oregon

Go Ducks Go Ducks. I ❤ University of Oregon

Wish this song was on iTunes GO Ducks!!! WTD

I used to live in Oregon. I made amazing friends throughout my time there. I went to beautiful places and experienced unimaginable things. I live in Oklahoma now and am having the same experiences and I love it but I will always be an Oregonian at heart. For the rest of my life. ❤️🌲

Lived in Colorado for 6 years now but oh how I miss that state

Chills every time. GO DUCKS

I'm a die hard Coug fan from Seattle. My friends and I went to a WSU-UO game and they played this song and it was a great all around experience, definitely enjoyed my time visiting Autzen! PNW is unmatched! 💪😎

Heading home to Oregon ❤ there no other place I want to be.

541 central Oregon born and raised still here growing a bunch of ganja I love it here and will never leave!

I love Oregon. Beautiful State.

It's great place I've lived Oregon 19 years of my life and still here Oregon will always be home for me AND GO DUCKS💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛

I think that it's so cool that he lived in Oregon and now he's famous.❤ We love you Mat!

my dad played this song all the time when I was little , just remembered it and looked it up immediately. I never lived in Oregon, but my dad did and this used to be my absolute favorite song. it makes me feel so happy. We used to visit Oregon every year for a family reunion when I was little and I truly do believe that I left my heart in Oregon. such an amazing place. My dad loves it there so much that his store is called famous in Oregon, a plant shop because plants are truly famous in Oregon.

Thank you Mat, this song is so great. And you are so right. Oregon will always be my home. From one Oregonian to another you are awesome. And GO DUCKS !

Best unofficial anthem EVER! Love me my OREGON. Thanks, Mat.

Heard the band play this in the Rose parade and after watching us win the rose bowl some hours later, I had to listen to this song on the long drive back to Oregon GO DUCKS!!!

Sweet Home Alabama for Oregonians

I live in Oregon best place ever Beutiful ÅWŚÔMĘ amazing place! # go ducks Like this post if u live in springfield

It always gets forgotten what makes this state great... it's not about the political rough patches, homeless issues, forest fires, and legislation... It's the people and the land. It's as close as you can get to a state without a class divide. Don't ever let them take that away!

THIS IS OUTSTANDING AND A 'MUST SEE' FOR ALL OREGONIANS!!!.......EVEN IF YOUR UNFORTUNATE ENOUGH NOT TO BE A DUCK!!!

Love living on the other side of the country and see a license plate from home(Oregon). Both because I miss it and I wonder how they got that far without gas?!

HEY!!! GO DUCKS!!!

Born and raised in canby! With everything that has been going on with our state as of late (riots in Portland and other major cities) makes me want to move, but I keep coming back to this song to show/tell myself how beautiful this state actually is. Doesn’t matter what people try to do to it. If it comes down to it I will proudly defend my state. My heart belongs to Oregon and wants to say!

I was born and raised in Oregon and naturally I couldn't be happier to live here in Oregon never gonna leave this state

I have taken my home state for granted, wanted to move over mtns hated the rain. Love it now, all the great camping snow skiing fishing hiking so many natural wonders. And of course the Ducks!!!

That's me with my arms spread at the 3:12 mark! Love this song and video! Thanks Mat!

God I love Oregon ❤

I listened to this song once while riding the Amtrak Coast Starlight passenger train back home from Los Angeles, California to Portland, Oregon. I was visiting family there. I took the train from Portland to LA and back. This song is amazing while watching the beautiful scenery roll by, especially the portion of the route from Klamath Falls, Oregon to Portland, Oregon.

I also left my heart in Oregon, that being my daughter at the U of O. Such an incredible place, over my many visits to the state I also have fallen in love. This song was played at her recent graduation, brought me to tears.

Tears of joy

Happy birthday Oregon 💚

I’m from a small town in Oregon Clatskanie Oregon grew up there Astoria and Seaside will always be an Oregonian however I’ve live on Vancouver Washington and have lived all over Washington I consider myself both haha 🤣 love Matt loved ships in the night and closer to love

I heard this song and saw this video for the first time at Autzen Stadium after the first quarter of the Ducks win over USC on Saturday night. I'm a U of O alum (class of 94) and drove across the entire state with all of it beauty to come back to Eugene for the game. This song really moved me listening to and watching the video and crowd reaction.

Oregon is my favorite state and my home state I fricken love this song so much 😭

I headed out Down interstate 5 My money was all spent But I felt so alive I was chasing down the dream Like you always thought me to But the evergreens and caffeine Still remind me of you [Chorus] I'm coming home to the place that I remember Back to the land of my first love Would you spread wide your arms for this wayward son? I left my heart in Oregon I left my heart in Oregon [Verse 2] Well the Northwest air brings the fast boys to town Be like fire on the Cascades When our feet touch the ground [Chorus] I'm coming home to the place that I remember Back to the land of my first love Would you spread wide your arms for this wayward son? I left my heart in Oregon I left my heart in Oregon [Bridge] Cause in my mind is a memory Tastes so good, it's bittersweet Of cheap champagne and a victory [Chorus] I'm coming home to the place that I remember Back to the land of my first love Would you spread wide your arms for this wayward son? I left my heart in Oregon I left my heart in Oregon [Outro] Oh, I left my heart in Oregon Yeah, I left my heart in Oregon
