South Tacoma Wayby Neko Case

She was born in Alexandria, Virginia, but Neko Case moved to the Tacoma/Seattle area in her teens. She's stated that she thinks of Tacoma as her hometown. -- South Tacoma Way is one of the major roads in Tacoma, Washington. Besides Interstate 5, it's the primary road connecting the northern part of the city to the southern. Case's "South Tacoma Way" has the narrator, presumably Case herself, driving down South Tacoma Way and mourning what, on the surface at least, appears to be a lost love. The lyrics are somewhat cryptic, though, in that they refer to "paying respects to a dead man" and cross-streets bearing the name of this mourned figure. -- R.I.P., Matt Driscoll.: socialpressmingles.com
