Out at sea for seven years
I got your letter in Tangiers
Thought that I'd been on a boat
'Til that single word you wrote
That single word it landlocked me
Turned the mast to cedar trees
And the wind to gravel roads
Idaho, oh Idaho
"Idaho" Josh Ritter
This song is sparse in the most wonderful way - acapella and quiet, like a lullaby. I'd never paid much attention to it; in fact, I think I usually forward through it, but now I want to visit Idaho.

He needs to be putting out some new music, and then travelling here to perform it.
