I'm Dutch, my wife is a Michigander, and we live in The Netherlands. Everytime we visit her family we listen to this in the car to the airport. A preperation for our arrival in our home away from home.

"...whispering, 'Stay, stay, stay.'" I adore this song.

As a dad, thank you SO MUCH for capturing the treasure of a few days at the lake with the kids. This is a masterpiece.

All we need now is for this to become the state song. This song is perfection, I don't know how else to express sweet home Michigan!

This song captures everything my daughter experienced during a 1-year exchange year in Michigan. Listend to this song in 2019 while I and my wife were backtracking the time of our daughter in this beautiful state. "Thank you" again for everyone in this state who made this an experience of a lifetime of my daughter!!

Beautiful. Thank you. Michigan, my home. And my heart.

I lived in Vermont for several months and will be moving back later this year (school). This song brought tears to my eyes every time I heard it. I thought so heavily of the upper peninsula, traverse city, Mackinac island… i would sit in my car and my eyes would be so red. I loved the Green Mountain State, but home was where I left my heart behind. Recently I took trips to see my grandma in Frankfort, and my dad I visited the U.P., Mackinac Island, and my good friend in Alpena. Thank you for this song!

I love this, I'm from Michigan and I just moved to Australia. . . I cant wait till I get to go back again & again & again .. . . Thanks for a comforting and familiar song.

Today as I headed my semi south down US 31 I saw a ton of kayak ladened cars heading north, and I so wanted to turn around, grab the pickup & kayaks and head back myself. Then I heard this love song for Michigan, saw some Sandhill Cranes flying low over head... but, now I'm stuck inside Detroit with the Manistee blues again.

Just great .. needs to be used in the Michigan tourist adds , Great song for my home state.

I can see myself driving up M-22 in the summer time with the windows down listening to this song.

I visited Michigan for the first time last week all the way from tn. By far all other states looked ugly in comparison to those 2. Michigan looked and felt like home, full of nature and beauty. this song came on the radio while I was there and it'll always bring me back there.

03:45 made my heart catch. Childhood memories of exploring the woods and rivers near my home in Utica, MI. Thank you for this beautiful love letter to a great state!

This song is a true love letter to Michigan. I LOVE it repeat please. 😊

such a beautiful song... I love it because most of the time you hear songs about cali., Florida, New York, all those places... but then I see this, and it's about a state that's commonly forgotten or thought to be part of canada, and it makes me so happy a fuzzy inside because it's my home and I will always love it here, I'm happy someone show cased Michigan is a bright way for once... thank you

Puts into perspective what a beautiful state we have been able to enjoy. Love my big mitten.

As a Michigan expat, I just listened to this song 6 times in a row.

Michigan, my heart, my home. Love this song!

A few years ago, I was facing having to leave my homeland of Michigan to stay in a [bad] relationship, but I heard this song and I swear, it helped my heart hear the truth. I stayed, stayed, stayed, stayed, stayed...and I am so happy and thankful I did. ❤ I've had the good fortune to be able to do a great deal of traveling in the world, but the more of the world I saw, the more I realized how special The Mitten truly is.

Makes me more homesick than I already was....love this...

Born and raised in Walled Lake (Oakland County), transplanted to Traverse City in the early 1990s, have lived there ever since. This is a great love song to our state. I'll keep listening again and again and again and again and again. 😊

We have us a Michigan song! Forever Grateful! Thanks Melissa for turning me on to this one!

This is the kind of song I'm going to listen to over and over until I'm sick of it. Nothing short of an amazing song.

I just discovered this group from TCM. I am 71 and from Texas. What a joy. I may move to Michigan!!

I'm from Michigan and I left my home to start a new life far away. I come home when I hear this song *blinks a tear away*

This song is reminds me of the 3 years I was in Michigan. I close my eyes while listening to this song and I literally smell the sweet summer Michigan air.

I grew up in Traverse City, then had to live out of the state for many many years. I missed my home state EVERY DAY. So glad to be living back in TC again (and again and again!!).

"Coffee stains of jetlag" is one of the best lines I've ever heard in a song! Love it

Here I am, revisiting this song, again and again, missing my love, Michigan. It tugs on my soul and will never leave me.

From Chicagoland area and believe Michigan is our close to perfect destination... Then heard this song by this wonderful group of young people called "The Accidentals" ...WOW !!! This song nails it !!! I am so blessed to be so close to this wonderful coastline of beach towns and magical places that give hope and excitement that coming to this wonderful part of the country brings....THANKYOU

Beautiful harmony.... great song.. Catchy....

Michigander here! live on the east side. you really caught how beautiful this great state can be. Love the song!! keep the great work coming!!

Love love love this. Describes my current state in life. Where I am at, and where I want to return to - Michigan.

By accident we caught The Accidentals ...in Michigan and they were playing this. Outstanding.

This is so beautiful! So great to hear of a song, by a band, from my home state!

I love this song so much. I feel like I will find myself turning to it if I ever get homesick.

As a Michigan expat this tugs on the heartstrings. Great work, guys!

Whenever I am down i listen to this song. I love this. Thank You! ....Again and Again and Again!

If it's possible to have a crush on a song, I do.

It's this band having their own that is our own. I lived in St. Sault Marie for a year. I fell in love living there and experienced the state traversing it while my favorite band became the Tragically Hip. I connect with Lake Superior. My parents live off it in Wisconsin. The Accidentals connect.

Oh you beautiful kids! I'm 72 and I love you.

This is one of my fav songs by you guys. I almost cry every time I watch it. It makes me happy to see people appreciating the most forgotten state. I will always love our little mitten and never wanna leave!!!❤️💖

I can’t get enough! I listen to this song multiple times a day! The Accidentals should be huge! I absolutely fell in love with all of your beautiful songs! They pull on my heartstrings the likes I have never experienced in my life! Dead Can Dance and Throwing Muses do similar to me so this fantastic band from Traverse City, Michigan are in good company (in my head)

Beautiful tribute to a beautiful state!

I listen to this all the time, makes me feel like I'm home. Every time I do, my daughter asks if we can go to Michigan.

It's been a few years since the release of this song, but as a true "Michigander", this song still speaks to my soul. Thank you!

I am thankful every day that I was fortunate to grow up in Elk Rapids and even though I don't live in Michigan any more, my heart will always be there.

I opened up for you guys a few years ago in Flint!! The kindest, sweetest souls with so much talent and deserve all of the success in the world!!💓💓

Love this so much. Will definitely come out to one of your local shows this summer. Michigan forever.

I doubt many fans listen to the Accidentals but I had to come here after Michigan football won their 3rd straight big ten championship; Michigan and again and again

From Michigan raised by Michigan. Best state to live in by far! ❤

Moved to Iowa this summer and this is helping to fill the mitten-shaped hole in my heart. Thank you so much for your music.

Just stumbled on this...glad I did. Awesome.

This should be the new state anthem - great song!

Makes me want to write a song about my wonderful home state.... Oregon and again and again and again and again...

Cannot tell you how much upper Michigan means to me what a beautiful place to be this song is awesome and I love the state especially North

This is very catchy. It's still going through my head long after I listened to it. Well done. What a great love letter to your state too.

Theses fine people are AMAZING !!!! I wish massive success to them!!!!!

If you broke the replay button, here's one: 0:00 I live in michigan and never want to live anywhere else......... I love it here.

West Michigander here. This is way better than any Pure Michigan commercial. I'm so glad I heard of you guys on NPR today.

Love this song ❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻love you guys

Love the state, the band, and this SONG! XOX

I just found this. Thank you for putting this on KZfaq. I love my home state.

Ever since I heard this song it was and is my Favorite Accidental song. Hearing it live is Freaking Eerie!,

I haven't been out of Michigan more than a three month period, and now moving to DC very soon. I'm going to miss Michigan, and TC, for all the great times, people, and places. Hope to make it back some day. Thanks for the great song!

This makes me want to go back to Michigan.

2022 is going to be the year THE ACCIDENTALS make it big! This group has a great pop sound.

Great sound. Good Luck.

I’m not from Michigan, but PA (as we say it here). I’ve been to Michigan off and on since 1976 when I worked for a summer as a student engineer for CCI as a Yooper (about the time that there was a failed movement to secede from the mitten and become the state of Superior. From that point on, I’ve been there many times all for business which took me over much of the state. Always enjoyed the after business hours and some weekends from Traverse City to Holland to Grand Rapids to Kalamazoo to Coldwater to Detroit, Saginaw, Flint, Frankenmuth, Ann Arbor, Lansing, and countless smaller towns from south to north. This song catches the vibe that I felt visiting in all of those years. I can only imagine what it speaks to the Michigander (that’s what you call yourselves now, right?).

Best song to listen to on my way home from the bridge on US2. ❤️ Love this so much. Perfect way to describe a perfect place.

this is so beautiful and makes me so happy

I love my home. (Traverse City or in terms in the pinky of the mitten)

I vote this song as our state song.

my whole life i wanted to move to Michigan. now i am almost done with school and im so close to moving there, this song helps me see what ive been working so hard for!

forever favorite song.

Obsessed with this song, it's beautiful

Lovely song about a beautiful state. I spend two year in A2 and have been back twice on vacation exploring places I never had a chance to during school.

This Ohio Great Laker, loves Michigan again!

Just moved back to my birth state, ‘home of the water, Canada’s daughter’. So surreal to be back again and again and again.

I love our state

I've been a fan of this band for about two years now and they constantly inspire and amaze me with all of the beautiful music they make, and even though I'll probably move sometime in the next few years I know I can listen to this and Michigan will welcome me home again.

That song made me cry, and I'm from Boston ... You have super powers.

This makes me want to move back home to Michigan! I can close my eyes with this playing and re-visit Saugatuck Dunes 😍

I've traveled and lived half way across the world...but Michigan will always be where I'm from 🥰

Displaced Michigander here. Still go up often for a visit

This will always be my favorite song, love Michigan forever.

I was born here and I’ll always be here, No better state! Thanks for the amazing song

I will never not be in the mood to hear this wonderful ear candy of a song

It whispers that to me every time I visit too...

Michigan the watery wonderful great lakes pastie bakes no mistake waterfront awake just to take the amazing and beauty

this is a great song ♡

LOVE, LOVE. LOVE it.

Thank you for coming to Tulsa! You warmed my heart with your music and especially this song. This homesick Michigander can relate!! Safe travels, awesome tour!

This song makes me extremely homesick.

From Boyne MI, this really touched my heart

As a person who never wanted to leave but had to for school this song is amazing. Been gone 10 months and really missing home. But only 1more year till I’m home for good! Of course the lions almost go all the way when I’m gone 😂

HI!!! You probably don't remember me but I was one of the Be Frank Foundation kids you let perform with you when you came to Bayfield Colorado a couple of years ago. I still have the sheet music for this beautiful song, (will always be one of my favorites from you guys) I wanted to say thank you again I know I said it a hundred times at the show and I'll say a hundred times again But you made so many Kids and people happy with the small acted of kindness you provided us that day. If you ever make it back down here again I would love to come watch you and support you guys. Thank you again so much, If you do happen to remember me I was the kid was with the hundred-ish year Old Violin. I also had really long blond hair. So yeah (not saying my name cuz I'm scared people on the internet)

not enough one thumbs up>< so good!

We had a chance to sit down with the band today to talk about their music, their history and so much more. This will be out in just a couple of weeks. Love this song so much. It’s the perfect ear worm
