According to Songfacts, Michael Stipe's lyric for this soulful lament for New Orleans follows on from Houston, with its Katrina-refugee this time returning home to the Louisiana city. After bemoaning the destruction of his home city, the protagonist focuses more on the overcoming of adversity. "This place needs me here to start/ This place is the beat of my heart," sings Stipe.
