Last weekend, I went to my ancestral homeland of Nice (Not really, but I wish - LOL!). Since I found myself in the Sou of France in a magical garden of Olive trees .... well, the picture says it all: http://www.backroads.net/~mnice/dscf2187.jpg As a reference for those who forgot the lyric (Shame on you!) - taken from the "Lyrics page" at - http://www.basiaweb.com/sweetest.illusion.txt @SONG: An Olive Tree One day, while in the south of France, my good friend said I should hug an olive tree, she claimed that dreams come true when you do, but can a plant be in any way that beneficial to me? Though I'm a famous sceptic, feet on the ground, this time I wanted this to be true... now picture this: a silly Polish girl in Nice embracing trees wishing for you Hug an olive tree! I take it--things are looking good still--could be better, there's always something to improve and so you should hug an olive tree I take it--things are looking good still--could be better, there's always something to improve oh yes we should So when you're in the south of France and you've got dreams, look for some magic gardens with olive trees Though I'm a famous sceptic, feet on the ground, this time I wanted this to be true... some olive branch must have heard my desperate heart 'cause I wear the crown (the olive crown, I wear the olive crown...) and so do you... ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2006 17:49:14 -0600 From: "Barry" Subject: Reason to hug an olive tree > OK, kiddos - what IS the significance of the olive tree and the whole > hugging thing anyway? The lyrics are: "One day while in the south of France my good friend said I should hug an olive tree She claimed that dreams come true when you do but can a plant be in any way that beneficial to me?" Past that I can't say I know any more about it, such as when and where that belief came into existance.

I'm just saying (and I probably could've phrased it better) that I wasn't able to find anything, anywhere, on or offline, about why the lyrics are there. I'm as clueless as everyone else. I looked around online and couldn't find any information about hugging an olive tree. Sorry I wasn't more clear.
