Interesting.. my hometown has a song about it now. Pretty nifty.

ashesofamericanflags:

Let Rogue Valley, my favorite band, from Minneapolis, Minnesota be your guide to the modern ghost town of Centralia, PA

‘Pennsylvania 61
through the very heart for some
where industry has long been gone
looks like any old abandoned town
it looks like any other place
forgotten and left to waste
its residents have long been chased away

steam rises from the fields
smoke-clouds skim the streets
a fire burns underneath the fallen city

this old mining community
is hotter than the planet mercury
a statuette without a face
disfigured and erased

four hundred acres all unseen
been burning since 1960
the government gave it up
paid money for all the people to move out
they took their pictures and precious things
their families, their histories
level it all, let nature reclaim this town

smoke rises from the hills
like some kind of poison spell
the mines are smoldering still
after fifty years

they’ll burn for a hundred more
hollowing a harrowing core
the coal went when the soul went
the other way down
Pennsylvania 61

level it all

don’t look back on Pennsylvania 61’

You can listen to Rogue Valley’s fantastic brand of Americana at their Bandcamp, like them on Facebook, and find out more about their expansive ‘Four Seasons’ albums through their website.

Some might say.. indeed.

Travel with me back to the the mid 90s.. peace and prosperity, minus the brewing crises of war and economic peril.. It was fun. 

And Oasis was fun to.

This song, SOME MIGHT SAY, brought to you by SoundCloud and Tumblr. Turn up the volume, crack open whatever cold beverage or brew whatever hot one.. 

I think this song feature the best line in any song ever written, 

Some might say they don’t believe in heaven

Go and tell that to the man who lives in hell
