Hem's, "Reservoir"
The Lyrics:
The sun in California, it drops right into the sea
I took a couple pictures; they don't mean that much to me
But just outside Pittsburgh, I saw it from my car
The light shines to the bottom of the reservoir
...
The moon hung on a hillside in eastern Tennessee
With rows of honeysuckle blooming over me
But the iron hills of Pittsburgh, where all my memories are
Gather in light around the reservoir
I took a couple pictures; they don't mean that much to me
But just outside Pittsburgh, I saw it from my car
The light shines to the bottom of the reservoir
...
The moon hung on a hillside in eastern Tennessee
With rows of honeysuckle blooming over me
But the iron hills of Pittsburgh, where all my memories are
Gather in light around the reservoir
Why:
California
Pittsburgh, PA
eastern Tennessee
Pittsburgh, PA

Hem's, "The Hills Stopped Working"
The Lyrics:
Ain't holding out for a miracle now
Just holding out for the water
Across a bridge that will carry me down
To the Santa Rosa Spanish Quarter
Just holding out for the water
Across a bridge that will carry me down
To the Santa Rosa Spanish Quarter
Why:
Santa Rosa's Spanish Quarter
