like i get it, cities can be cool and all but some of these songs make it sound like wandering around at 3am in the rain is this profound, life-changing experience when really its just cold and kind of annoying. dont get me wrong, i love a good cityscape as much as the next person but sometimes its like... can we acknowledge that cities are also loud, crowded, and occasionally kind of gross? its not all neon lights and existential musings. half the time i just want a song that says "yeah the subway smells weird and i stepped in something questionable but hey, at least the pizza was decent." maybe im just over it because ive been stuck in too many traffic jams lately anyway, whats a city song that doesnt feel like its trying to sell you on the idea of urban life?
why do so many songs about cities feel like they're trying too hard to romanticize them
