Location Song | comment |
Some musicians write songs about specific locations. It can be a street, an avenue, a boulevard, a road, a park, a mountainous area, a beach, a town, a city or a country. Most of the times the musician wants to pay Homage to a place that is dear to him. Maybe he grew up there, maybe he still lives there, perhaps he visited the place and was so overwhelmed by it that he wants to pay tribute to it. Or maybe it's the opposite. He wants to criticize the place because he associates it with a certain bad memory, a political system he despises or the mentality of the community who lives there. In either way, Location Songs will attract attention from people who actually inhabit the place and those who might get curious enough to actually find out more about it and visit it. So it's no surprise that a lot of these songs will actually be used in tourist videos or films and series that take place in the location described in the song. To many people across the world, it may even be the only thing they know about them. Some people may even be surprised this location actually exists in real life! "Route 66", for instance, a highway between Chicago and L.A. would probaly never have become such an iconic road if it weren't for the fact that Bobby Troup wrote a much Covered Up song about it in 1946, made famous by Nat King Cole. Note for those who want to add examples: We put everything according to country and alphabetically. Locations that no longer exist are also allowed, as well as instrumentals. For national anthems, which aren't always about locations, but sometimes more about the nation's founder or the people, see National Anthem. If a song mentiones a lot of places, see Listing Cities. MOD NOTE: Say no to Zero Context Examples. Do not just list the song name and the name of the band. Explain what the song is about and how it talks about the place. |

"First Rate Town" by Good Kid. While the place isn't named, the band members have stated that it was based on Toronto, where they came from, and Montreal is mentioned. In the song, the singer lives in a town that's very cold. Someone he loves ends up leaving, which he didn't think they would do, and he blames them for not seeing all the good things about the town. Since his praises merely say that "some of us are still left here" and "they keep the death rates down", it's probably not that good of a place. | |

Not to mention "The Devil Came Up to Boston", Boston-area roots rockers Adam Ezra Group's affectionate parody of the Charlie Daniels classic "The Devil Went Down to Georgia". The lyrics are filled with references to Boston-area locations, play practically every urban Hollywood New England trope up to eleven, and are spoken/sung in a deliberately exaggerated Boston accent. | |

Tarifa: Sharon Van Etten's "Tarifa", named for a beachside town in Spain, where the singer and her new lover have jettisoned off to. The singer is enthralled by this new relationship but is ignoring the external problems that will make it hard for them to be together in the real world. Thus she romanticizes Tarifa as emblematic as the perfect honeymoon phase of their relationship. | |

"In the Same Boat" (å�ŒèˆŸå…±æ¿Ÿ, translated as "Hong Kong Boat" in the 2020 virtual concert) is about how Hong Kong is the singer's unwavering heart and home, and its people should unite and do their respective duty to their homeland so that it, as their boat, would stay warm and not sink. "Made in Hong Kong" (é¦™æ¸¯è£½é€ ) lists the things one can do and places one can go while living in Hong Kong, concluding that "all good things [are] made in Hong Kong", and that the local listeners should be proud of their hometown as well. |
