Lost In Xanadu Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 New York has songs like New York State of Mind and NY, NY... Chicago has Sweet Home Chicago... Which song would you pick to represent where you live? For me, I'd have to go with Smalltown by JCM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclonus X-1 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Soundgarden covered us in Outshined with the "looking California and feeling Minnesota" line. Sums up the state of things well for us studs who are toiling here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarizeMe Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Bergenfield by Tom Russell. Can't find a link to the song, I actually had to search up my own town on Wikipedia to see if there was actually any song about my town. Otherwise, I would've thrown in Trial of Tears by Dream Theater cause I go to college in Manhattan and it's a fitting song to listen to during the days it rains in the city.

The Analog Grownup Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) http://youtu.be/yVJrkRSipB8 The title means Home To Aarhus. I could translate the lyrics but sometimes music is funnier when you don't understand it :) I can't help myself. I really like this city I live in and want to show you.

The Analog Grownup Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I can't help myself. I really like this city I live in and want to show you. http://youtu.be/waZEDPIopWo It looks like a nice town. Are the buildings newer or older (did they survive WWII)? They're older. Denmark came out of WWII without too much damage because of the collaboration with the Germans until 1943. Most of the damage came from sabotage and bombing raids from RAF. I think if the government hadn't pursued a policy of collaboration we would probably have had it much worse. But that we de facto was allied with Germany until 1943 is heavily downplayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
