Anytown (single 2018)

by Seth Adam

/

about

'Anytown’ was written in response to the events in Charlottesville VA over the summer of 2017. Though the song is not explicitly about those events, it uses that frame to convey the universal messages of love, kindness, and acceptance in an effort to overcome the ugliness of hate. It’s an uplifting, thought-provoking song that I believe will help people feel united.

lyrics

This is where the angels fell
Driven to the brink of Hell
And the stories they will always tell
could write themselves
There's a castaway upon the cross
Bastardizing what he lost
And taking from the girl who'll never sing
tonight

It's a day for disbelieving
That this could happen here in Anytown
But love is never leaving
If we're around in Anytown

This is where the heroes were
With all the valor they have earned
They stood against the ugliness that burned
On the other side

It's a day for disbelieving
That this could happen here in Anytown
But love is never leaving
If we're around in Anytown

They said they'd never stand in silence
and watch it all burn down
So love was in defiance
on the ground in Anytown

This is where the memories dwell
Something to remember well
That we can tell the stories to remind
ourselves

It's a day for disbelieving
That this could happen here in Anytown
But love is never leaving
If we're around in Anytown
