BOSTON
In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh it has begun...
Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,
This world you must've crossed... she said...

You don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah,
She said
You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah,

Essential yet appealed, carry all your thoughts across
An open field,
When flowers gaze at you... they're not the only ones who cry
When they see you
She said...

You don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah,
She said
You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah,

She said I think I'll go to Boston...
I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
I think I'll get a lover and fly him out to Spain...
Oh yeah and I think I'll go to Boston,
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind...
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,
I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice... oh yeah,

You don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah...

Boston... where no one knows my name... yeah
Where no one knows my name...
Where no one knows my name...
Boston...
No one knows my name.

Boston is the song I chose. It’s one of the best known songs by Augustana. Boston is the first single from the album All the stars and Boulevards which was released in 2005. I rellay like the melody of this song as well as the piano accompaniment. Furthermore, I love the lyrics. The song is about a girl who wants to start a new life where on one knows  anything about her. She´s tired and she needs to leave her old life and forget about everything. Personally i sympathise with the feeling of wanting to change one´s life. I mean, next year I’ll start at the university and my life will change a lot. I’ll probably be in a new city and make new friends. Honestly, I am looking forward to it. But I’ll also be sad to leave behind many good memories and experiences, especially some people who is really important to me.
