hey all- I just finished critiquing a lyric " Cove55 posted topic A Feather In The Wind "
which referred to several place names in USA, and it made me ask a question ive had on my mind for years now.
why are place and geographical names specifically in USA not just well suited but seem like they were made for song writing. I hear songs with Australian names you would think would relate better to me, and there's some great names like gundagai or darling downs but nothing adds magic to a song like Alabama, California, montana etc etc.
I think USA is the most familiar country in the world, to the rest of the world, but I think its more than that and id really like to know why...
any ideas?

Songs, And American Place Names
in Songwriting

I think you're probably right- most American places are either Spanish or from Europe so it must be those iconic songs.. not so long ago all you heard on most radios was music from USA.
my mum was born in Edinburgh and was a boarder at dollar. I was born in barnes, London but lived in oz all my life. aye! neil
