| | "Somewhere" Song |
comment |
A song about an idealized, far-off place, real, imaginary or merely notional, often at a specific time. Often, the title will include the words "Somewhere" or "Out/Up/Over There".
Subtrope of Location Song. Often an "I Want" Song. If the "somewhere" in question is just anywhere that isn't home, it's a Wanderlust Song. Compare "Setting Off" Song, "Leaving the Nest" Song. |

"There's a World" from Next to Normal. In context, it's Played for Drama, because the character singing is referring to the afterlife. |

"New Holy Land" from Cesare - Il Creatore che ha distrutto is a subversion — after the confrontation between the French and Spanish students, where the French students attacked Miguel because he's Jewish, Miguel sings about the explorers currently (1491) traveling the world to find a place with a freedom they can't have in Europe, but he tells Angelo that a better world isn't something you find, it's something you have to create. |
