About This Song
About "BBC - Children's Hour July 7, 1944: 900 Miles" by Woody Guthrie
Guthrie plays childrenās host with a twinkle, but ā900 Milesā carries the lonesome whistle of a train leaving everything behind. The BBC setting softens his edge into a gentle raspāyet the distance in the song feels vast, a homesickness dressed up as a singalong for the young.
