Passing through unconscious states
When I awoke, I was on the highway
Death Cab for Cutie, “A Movie Script Ending”
City Streets
He sees the city’s ripped backsides
Iggy Pop, “The Passenger”
He sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
‘Cause it just belongs to you and me
So let’s take a ride and see what’s mine
Public Art
Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
John Keats, “Ode to a Grecian Urn”
Waterfront
Barges, I would like to go with you,
I would like to sail the ocean blue.
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Camp song “Barges”
Parks
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray
I’ve been for a walk
On a winter’s day
The Mamas and the Papas, “California Dreamin'”
Campuses
Here is the home of color and of light
Ella Higginson, “The College by the Sea”
Schools
Good morning, good morning, good morning to you
It’s nice to be here, we have lots to do
And we’ll learn as we play, and work through our day
Good morning, good morning, good morning to you
Song by my kindergarten teacher
Museums
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
