em “my city was gone” chrissie hynde escreve sobre a sua terra natal, akron, no ohio - a pensar na morte das cidades enquanto memória de infância. em todos nós há uma cidade assim, que desapareceu em nome do progresso.

muitos anos depois os seus pretenders ainda a tocam ao vivo, e transcendem-se enquanto banda rock. lou reed disse uma vez "you can't beat two guitars, bass & drums". é tão verdade.

descobre as diferenças entre a canção

a) na graça do estúdio

e

b) em estado de graça

I went back to Ohio but my city was gone

There was no train station; there was no downtown

South Howard had disappeared; all my favorite places

My city had been pulled down – reduced to parking spaces

Way to go, Ohio

I went back to Ohio but my family was gone

I stood on the back porch, there was nobody home

I was stunned and amazed, my childhood memories

slowly swirled past like the wind through the trees

Way to go, Ohio

I went back to Ohio but my pretty countryside

had been paved down the middle by a government that had no pride

The farms of Ohio had been replaced by shopping malls

And muzak filled the air from Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls

Way to go, Ohio
