I recently made a playlist (like a few minutes ago) of all the songs on my itunes that have geographical significance. So far, it's been kind of depressing. Like the artist sing about the places he has been and how the cities, countries, and places made his or her life beautiful, but then the beauty and the mystery is gone. Then, he or she rebukes the city and attempts to find a new place of mystery. I basically made that up. I don't know if that's what he sings about, or not. But that's the impression I felt.
