Last year I felt a strong desire to record several versions of the state song that I grew up singing as a child. I decided to do a 3-song EP (releasing one per year) in an effort to sonically capture different musical snapshots of what Nevada feels like, sounds like, and represents to me. Last year I released the first, and this is the 2nd of the 3-song EP in honor of my native state.

I was born and raised in Nevada, my mother was born and raised in Nevada, my father lived in Nevada for many years, and at some point, both sets of my grandparents have lived in Nevada. In fact, my Cowley grandparents (who used to own the Morris Hotel in downtown Reno) lived in Nevada for most of their lives - it is a part of my heritage that I deeply cherish. I love its people and I will always love the sage, the wind, and the sunsets from my youth. Its desert charm will hold a special place in my heart until the day I die.

So, consider this a tribute to Nevada; and here’s to whatever state you call home! No matter where you live - may this remind you of the things you love there. Leave comments below about your favorite memories of places that kindle nostalgia or make you feel at home. Let’s celebrate home together!

Home Means Nevada lyrics
(by Bertha Raffetto)

Way out in the land of the setting sun,
Where the wind blows wild and free,
There’s a lovely spot, just the only one
That means home sweet home to me.

If you follow the old Kit Carson trail,
Until desert meets the hills,
Oh, you certainly will agree with me,
It’s the place of a thousand thrills.

Home means Nevada, home means the hills,
Home means the sage and the pine.
Out by the Truckee, silvery rills,
Out where the sun always shines,

Here is the land which I love the best,
Fairer than all I can see.
Deep in the heart of the golden west
Home means Nevada to me.

Whenever the sun at the close of day,
Colors all the western sky,
Oh my heart returns to the desert grey
And the mountains tow’ring high.

Where the moonbeams play in shadowed glen,
With the spotted fawn and doe,
All the live long night until morning light,
It's the loveliest place I know.

Home means Nevada, home means the hills,
Home means the sage and the pines.
Out by the Truckee’s silvery rills,
Out where the sun always shines,

There is the land that I love the best,
Fairer than all I can see.
Right in the heart of the golden west
Home means Nevada to me.
