US State in Song
In celebrating the 250th of USA, dive into some of the best songs with a U.S. state in its title. Which is your fave?
Remember this ‘90s group? Decent rap with meaning lyrics- imagine this song coming out today. Would it even catch on?
I love that this song is quite ambiguous, can refer to a woman or to the state.
Learn about the song on Song Meanings
Classic Joel. Dreamy atmosphere felt while it plays!
That classic riff. Best lyrics:
Now Watergate does not bother me/Does your conscience bother you?
Beautiful, delicate one by the usually thunderous Zeppelin. A Joni Mitchell connection here? Yes…
Love these lyrics:
I think I might be sinking
Throw me a line, if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path runs straight and high
