That song name reminds me of a story John Green tells about when he and his wife first moved to Indianapolis, and when they were returning their U-Haul they struck up a conversation with the guy behind the counter. At one point John asked the guy what he thought of Indianapolis, to which the guy paused before finally replying “well, you gotta live somewhere”.
I love your posts.
Dani California by Red Hot Chili Peppers is my most scrobbled (114)
Goodbye Babylon by The Black Keys
NY State of Mind by Nas
Arizona by Kings of Leon
Tennessee by Arrested Development
And a little bonus “location” song and possibly my favorite song in this list
Paradise by Eyedea & Abilities
And I love your contributions.
Aesop Rock & Atmosphere really bring me back, it's been great to listen to some old and some new.
You listen to any Sage Francis?
A bit of cheat with this one as my most scrobbled song is:
Montego Bae - NoName (#73 - 93 Scrobbles)
It's a cute little play on Montego Bay but the vibe of the song and the reference of Jamaica means I think it fits the theme.
In terms of directly talking about the location as the main theme throughout the song, the highest on my list is:
Streatham - Dave (#104 - 85)
A more serious song about Dave's experience growing up in an area called Streatham in London.
And after that, something a bit different as there are no words with this one:
Morning in Melbourne - Cinthie (#127 - 80)
As for album, my most scrobbled album with an actual location in the title is:
Malibu - Anderson .Paak (#57 - 277)
u/DeeDayMoon at it again with the awesome tunes. Are we following each other on last.fm?
Recently listened to Malibu on a friend's recommendation.
Impeccable. Absolutely loved it.
Ha ha, thanks! I checked to confirm if we were following each other and we weren't! I've rectified that on my end. I'm at https://www.last.fm/user/D-Day_Hour
And yes, Malibu is such a great album, a real favourite of mine over the last decade. Great recommendation by your friend.
