American Music Club - All The Lost Souls Welcome You To San Francisco / The Hype Machine
With lyrics (on one of those crappy lyric sites, I’m sorry).
I had a really good discussion last night with a few folks. All of us have fallen out of love with the San Francisco web (or dare I say, Web 2.0) scene, and we all have our issues with it, as well as our scars.
Unfortunately for me, this had been the majority chunk of my relationship with this city. But I can’t say I’m falling out of love with San Francisco; I’ve fallen out of love with the San Francisco I was dealt. There are hundreds of San Franciscos, just like there are hundreds of Chicagos (out of which I got dealt a great one, I am reminded), and hundreds of versions of any city. I’m sticking around for now, and I just need to find a way to deal myself a new version of this city, or risk getting dealt another sour fruit.
Which is all a way of leading up to another serendipitous moment where I found this song, and saying that I don’t relate directly, equilaterally to the lyrics of this song, but man, I’m feeling this guy, you know?
