Day 17
Manic Street Preachers - South Yorkshire Mass Murderer

Not the greatest Manics song if you think about it in terms of lyrics or melody but it's an important one nonetheless as it helped to shine a light on the truth about the Hillsborough disaster, the 97 people wrongfully killed by the failures of the police, and the subsequent campaign of blame towards those victims by the media

Great song. Studied Hillsborough as part of a previous job. Still traumatised by it.
 
Day 17: A song with a state in the name

I came to this song way later in life than I should have, but it's still one that chills me a little bit when you think about the subject matter. I'm sure something about it isn't lost on me given its proximity to where I live now, and the fact that we have a Presidential candidate who has advocated shooting protesters in the past. And I love this version. There are a number out there that are all acoustic guitars, but I think the electric here gives the song some bite.

Day 17: A song with a state (or county for non US?) in the name or lyrics

This song is based on a legend, and one that happens to be verifiable. On February 13th, 2000, a coyote hopped onto an airport bound Max Light Rail train and took his seat. He didn't pay, but that made him just like about 70% of the people on MAX.

This ended up in the local newspaper, and another Stumptown legend was born.
I'm obsessed 😍 He's so cute!
Video unavailable for me but know it. I love Loreena. Seen her three times now.
Ngl, I'm jealous. That was the reminder I needed to sign up for tour notifications ✅ I'm sure she's amazing live.
 
Day 17: A song with a state (or county for non US?) in the name or lyrics

I’m shocked I haven’t posted this song before. It could work for so many prompts for me- a love song, a heartbreak song, a song you listen to more than once in a row, a most played song on your playlist…

There’s something about this song. I’m the singer; I’m the subject. I’m enamored with it.
The song was released 10 years ago. I think I found it 5ish years ago and it’s still heavy in the rotation.


“And I could easily lose my mind
The way you kiss me will work each time
Pulling me back into the flames
And I'm burning up again


Vance Joy - Georgia

Carrying Your Love With Me - George Strait

Cause I'm carryin' your love with me
West Virginia down to Tennesse
I'll be movin' with the good Lord's speed
Carryin' your love with me
It's my strength for holdin' on
Every minute that I have to be gone
I'll have everything I'll ever need
I'm carryin' your love with me
