Compilation of Songs about each State
Posted on 8/19/12 at 1:48 pm
Posted on 8/19/12 at 1:48 pm
I want to create a list of about 20 or so of the best songs for each state if possible to make the best mixes for road trips. The songs can either be about the states, refer to the states, places in the state, or are somehow related to the state.
I'll update the OP with the states and songs if people are interested in doing this.

Western states are going to have a romantic aura about them that you won't find in, say, Rhode Island.

They offer the image of clean, fresh air and wide, open spaces. Lot's of simple life and animals and all that other shite !

Considering how many people travel (tourism) to Alaska and Wyoming, I would hardly call them obscure.

He was born in the summer of his twenty-seventh year
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
Left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
Might say he found a key for ev'ry door
When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
On the road and hangin' by a song
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
Keeps changin' fast, it don't last for long
quote:
He climbed cathedral mountains
Saw silver clouds below
Saw everything as far as you can see
And they say that he got crazy once
And he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept his memory
Now, he walks in quiet solitude
The forests and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside
Himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake

And if you have a 12-string guitar, that song is mucho fun to play.

Chris Rea, "Texas" (best song about Texas)
"They got day long roads out there ..."
The video is terrible, however, supposed to be Texas but filmed in Europe using a Trabant (a shitty Russkie car).
