Okay I pride myself on how us Seattle people are all around good people. But I also pride myself on how snarky, sarcastic, and passive-aggressive we are. Owl city has a song called "Hello Seattle", that is ensconced in good nature and happy warm fuzzy feelings that it make me want to hurl a little inside. If your gonna write a song about Seattle, sing about how gray, drizzly and depressing this city is and also how we need coffee to keep us sane, that is true Seattle, oh and how friendly we are :-)
Here is the song lyrics and the actual song is below, listen to it's carefreeness if you can:
Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
And awake in your mouth
Hello Seattle, I am a mantaray
Deep beneath the blue waves
I'll crawl the sandy bottom of Puget Sound
And construct a summer home
Hello Seattle, I am the crescent moon
Shining down on your face
I will disguise myself as a sleeping pill
And descend inside of you
Hello Seattle, I am a cold seahorse
Feeling warm in your sand
I sing about the tide and the ocean surf
Rolling in the evening breeze
Hello Seattle, I am an albatross
On the docks and your boats
I sail above your inlets and interstates
Through the rain and open wind
Hello Seattle, I am an old lighthouse
Throwing beams of bright lights
Red in the morning, blue in the evening sun
Taking heed from everyone
Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
Take me above your light
Carry me through the night
Hold me secure in flight
Sing me to sleep tonight
Take me above your light
Carry me through the night
Hold me secure in flight
Sing me to sleep tonight
Hello Seattle - Owl City
