This site was created and maintained by the band of misfits that brought you
Songfacts. When investigating songs, we found a bunch that had some association with a specific place: a flowing river, a beat up town, a luxury hotel, a beautiful island, a quirky restaurant. Some of this info appears on Songfacts, but we thought it would be fun to investigate further, digging into the stories about these places and how they found their way into the songs.
To search the site, use the top navigation - you can enter pieces of a song name or a place into the search box and get pretty good results. You can also use the browse features and the map, which let's you click a location and drill down to the different places.
