Tool - Sober: This just reminds me of a lot of the drinking that my friends from this neighborhood do. Even throughout high school, getting drunk was sort of a pasttime for our area since there wasn't much to do. Why couldn't we be sober?
Nirvana - Sliver: My grandparents lived about three streets away from where I grew up. I always enjoyed going over there as a kid, but I think I was a bit difficult when it came to staying there for extended amounts of time. I always wanted to go home and do something that was a bit more entertaining.
Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun: This reminds me of the scorching days we always have around here. It's not exactly a Clinton Township only thing, more like a Michigan requirement. I actually enjoyed the rainy days, as opposed to how the lyrics sound.
Audioslave - Getaway Car: This song makes me think of how we have to drive anywhere to get some sort of entertainment. Around here, nothing is focused for a younger crowd, so we're usually prepared to have to drive quite a ways to see or do what we want. Usually we'd drive out to Rochester or Mt. Clemens, nothing that really stayed in the community. Even Freedom Hill is a part of St. Clair Shores.
Rob Zombie - Two Lane Blacktop: Basically the same as the above, although this one deals with the craziness that I believe is a part of our streets. Around my area, roads like Garfield and Hayes become a nightmare with the different drivers going around to the strip malls and restaurants. This is always one of my favorites to play to prevent myself from going crazy with all of the idiots on the road.
Seether - Fine Again: This one draws out the repetidiveness of our community. Not much is different from the other. Basically suburbs, some stores, and some more suburbs. New construction here and there. Growing up in this environment was fairly boring, but like the song suggests, we'll be fine again.
