some towns have high crime rates, while others have the fashion police. some towns are so loaded they don’t know what to do with themselves and others are so pathetically poor hey don’t even realize it. some towns are hosting tours by world famous bands while others remain content with their uneventful and ignorant bliss. some towns are gossip centrals while others advertise their utopia-like qualities. so what happens when there’s a town that isn’t quite that popular or crime-ridden? what happens when gossip isn’t every other citizen’s life and wealth is held on various pedestals? what if music wasn’t something the town was privileged to host for one exciting and hot summer? what if music… was the people?
welcome to boston, massachusetts. the ‘city of champions’, as the sports fans will have you know. the ‘city on a hill,’ to most geographers. or the ‘cradle of liberty,’ a term more popular among historians. but there is so much more to boston than meets the average tourists eye. each person you meet, each smiling face and unique style, is so much more than a run of the mill bostonian. ever get the feeling you knew someone well enough… that you could pick out ‘their song’? in boston, this concept becomes a reality: for each thriving soul that walks the streets there is a tune, a melody. for each diary that is written or blog that is posted, there is a set of lyrics written. each life has a rhythm. each person is a song.

You know when you turn on your radio and your favorite song starts to pour through the speakers, you turn it up and sing along to those lyrics like they were meant just for you...well, what if those lyrics were actually meant for you? The words “i’m caught up in the moment, but not in the right way” described exactly who you were perfectly? Well you’d be surprised that here in Boston, a big city with subcultures and diversity galore, there’s a group of people whose lives seem to be based off of your favorite songs. From Oldies to today’s Top 40 hits...From Rock to Rap to Classical and everything in between, you’ll be sure to find the person who fits the song you’re looking for.
Lend me your ears, and I’ll sing you a song...And I’ll try not to sing out of key. Here is the place where your songs and lyrics, musical poetry come to life in the form of a human being. Though if you ask them this, they’ll simply deny such a thing, saying ‘that’s preposterous, i’m not just some song.’ But if you go beneath the surface, it’s completely apparent that every little lyric, every word and every strummed chord of that song you hear on the radio is in tune with them. Their emotions and their actions, all based off one little song whether they know it or not. It’s an ever-growing scene, people and songs becoming one as they take over Boston, singing and playing for everyone to hear. Are you ready to become a part of this? Let your favorite song become you, playing for all the world to hear?
So sing me a song, sing it loud and sing it proud for all the world to hear...
