Richmond ( /ˈrɪtʃmənd/) is the capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia, in the United States. It is an independent city and not part of any county. Richmond is the center of the Richmond Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and the Greater Richmond area. The population within the city limits was 204,214 in 2010, with an estimated population of 1,258,251 for the Richmond Metropolitan Area — making it the third largest in Virginia.
Geographically, Richmond is located at the fall line of the James River, 108 miles (174 km) south of Washington DC, 71 miles (114 km) east of Charlottesville, and 54 miles (87 km) west of Williamsburg. Surrounded by Henrico and Chesterfield counties, the city is located at the intersections of Interstate 95 and Interstate 64, and encircled by Interstate 295 and Virginia State Route 288.
The site of Richmond, at the fall line of the James River, had been an important village of the Powhatan Confederacy, and was briefly settled by English colonists from Jamestown in 1609, and in 1610–1611. The present city of Richmond was founded in 1737. It became the capital of the Colony and Dominion of Virginia in 1780. During the Revolutionary War period, several notable events occurred in the city, including Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death" speech in 1775 at St. John's Church, and the passage of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom written by Thomas Jefferson. During the American Civil War, Richmond served as the capital of the Confederate States of America. The city entered the 20th century with one of the world's first successful electric streetcar systems, as well as a national hub of African-American commerce and culture, the Jackson Ward neighborhood.

Plot: A dramatizing of Knut Hamsun's famous novel from 1898, Victoria, which is about the tragic and unhappy love affair between Victoria and Johannes. She's a daughter of a rich estate owner, and he is the son of the poor miller. Despite the deep love between them, her father makes Victoria ditch Johannes, and instead marry to the chamber-mans son Otto. Johannes is a writer, and very fond of the nature, but he can never get the girl he loves above all, the wealthy born Victoria. They meet for the first time at age 14, when she is 10. We follow them for years, where we see Johannes makes every possible attempt to impress her, and to climb in social rank, at which he doesn't succeed. They meet up several times, declaring their love for each other, but Victoria is obliged to merry far richer Otto to ensure their parents needed future prosperity. In the end Victoria dies of tuberculosis, and leaves behind a letter claiming she's now free for Johannes.

Genres: Comedy, Drama,"You know I Wish I was in Richmond
You know I Do , I wish I was Back Home
You know I Wish I was in Richmond
The Land I was Raised , The Place i've Always Known
And now i'm waiting in New York City
The Rain is Falling , No one seems to see
And all The Salesman , They take Notice
Forget the rushing lives , For the rushing brides to be
You know I Wish I was in Richmond
You know I Do , I Wish I was Back Home
She Didn't Change Me , She Forgave Me
So now it's Time , Time For Me to Leave
Like Broken Glass in my Broken Hands
I'm Broken Down , This I Do Believe
You know I Wish I was in Richmond
You know I Do I Wish I was Back Home
You know I Wish I was in Richmond
The Land I was Raised , The Place i've Always known
As a Frost Comes , I've Learned Some
Not to Make the same Mistakes Again
Laws are Learned , As Rule Books Burn
But what i do know , Leads to still my Friend
I'm Going Back , Back to Richmond
You know I am , You know i'm Going Home
I'm Going Back , Back to Richmond
