Song Titles as Place Names

[Herobizkit]

Name as many song titles that are, or could be used as, place names for an RPG setting.

I came up with the idea to base a whole campaign world using place names from song titles to see if I could make a "soundtrack" that might suit the world.

Please follow the format Title - Artist for easy cut/pasting.

Examples:

Dagger Woods - The Stanfields
(In The) House of Stone and Light - Martin Page
Sea of No Cares - Great Big Sea
Silver Strand - The Corrs (instrumental)

 

[steeldragons]

Silver Spring- Fleetwood Mac
Landslide- Fleetwood Mac
Everywhere- Fleetwood Mac
Destination Street- The Cure
Lovesong- The Cure
True Faith- New Order (a city run by a powerful dominating religion, of course
Suburbia- The Pet Shop Boys
Mesopotamia- The B-52s
Deadbeat Club- The B-52s
Funplex- The B-52s
Sunrise- Simply Red
Spotlight- Jennifer Hudson
Maneater- Nelly Furtado (not a nice place. Prolly a powerful goblinoid/orcish settlement)
Sweet Dreams- The Eurythmics
Mandolin Rain- Bruce Hornsby
The River of Dreams- Billy Joel
Crocodile Rock- Elton John
Watermark, Orinoco Flow, Amarantine, Boadicea...pretty much anything by Enya

I'm sure I could come up with s'more if I wanted to think about it...but this is a good start.

Have fun and happy remixing.

Not a name, certainly, but an apt description of where your character is when they're at sea.

In a similar vein, "Down Under" by Men at Work would be very apt for a campaign set in the Underdark.
