Songs about Places

Making a music playlist is a tedious affair, especially if you'd rather spend your time on Cricinfo, but once you've made it, you've saved your ears a lot of nonsensical music that you've collected over time. I was scrolling through the media player library and I came across Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama and Eagles' Hotel California, which reminded me of California Dreamin'. So I decided why not make a playlist of songs about cities, towns and states. Here's what I collected:
PS: The playlist contains 12 songs I like, you can always google the full list!

Glorious Morning-Waterflame

I first heard this in the flash game Age of War, and I've been playing the game again and again just because of this music. Simply Superb!

Dire Straits-Brother in Arms

This song is about the Falklands War, which was going on when Dire Straits lead singer Mark Knopfler wrote the song. The Falklands War was a conflict between Argentina and England over islands off the coast of Argentina that each country claims rights to. The islands are British territories, but in 1982 Argentina tried to reclaim one of the islands. Britain reclaimed their territories, but lost 258 soldiers in the conflict. The song was inspired by Knopfler's father remarking "We shouldn't be making war on our brothers in arms."

These mist covered mountains

Are a home now for me

But my home is the lowlands

And always will be

Some day you'll return to

Your valleys and your farms

And you'll no longer burn

To be brothers in arm

Through these fields of destruction

Baptism of fire

I've watched all your suffering

As the battles raged higher

And though they did hurt me so bad

In the fear and alarm

You did not desert me

My brothers in arms

Mr. President! Tu Bn Insaan!!

Paray likhy nojawan tery mulk day jawan
Hath vich phary degree tey apni pehchan
Jithay deko jithay deko berozgari da tofan
Phirday nay gali gali paisa karay har kam
Ethay sar-e-aam
Jinaan hathan vich kadi hondi si kitaab
Onaan hathan vich halat pharaye hathyar
Zindagi tu jeevain mani batihay nay haar
Aye kiss da asool Aye kiss da qanoon
Jinun dekho panda ek dojay da khoon
Hunr char patloon Paraha likha Punjab
banan chaly si saray dy saary siyasatdan
pichli hakomat sari buri tarah nakaam
bhari apni dukan Dr.Qadeer Khan
dy ghar nu bana gay deko jail da makan
jinain delai sano sari duniya di akhan vich
ek navi pehchan
tenu mera tey meri awam da salam

Mr.President, mera teray tu eko sawal
Tenu nazar nai andy mery mulk dy halat
Teray tu teri awaam pochy subhu shaam
Jery kity say tu wady sady nal sar-e-aam
Tera apna kalaam roti kapra makan
Na vaich hor apna deen emaan
Hunr ban insan ban insan hunr ban insan...
