Here's one of those songs I fell in love with the first time I heard it.
While Iglu and Hartly came out with this song late last year, "In This City" has been getting heavy rotation on my media player at home right now, and I can tell it's gonna be one of my favorites.

"In This City" (2008)
Iglu and Hartly
You came in to my life
You cannot separate yourself
And I found that 'round here,
(In this city)
That I won't disappear
(In this city)
I got nothing to fear
(In this city)
(In this city)
And I found that 'round here,
(In this city)
That I won't disappear
(In this city)
I got nothing to fear
(In this city)
(In this city)
Close those doors
Close those doors
Now, now, just keep 'em open
Keep 'em open
Yeah, keep 'em open
I'll keep on, keep keep on going
Taking it in so, so heavy
Take it easy son, this ain't so deadly
Got keep on, gotta go on, gotta go on
Take it all with what we've done
Gotta push it push it push it
To the top of the building
Even when no one is feeling
It might bother you
Don't let it
If these people just don't get it
They can't express it
They won't accept it
She said it's okay that they may never give
you that credit.
And I found that 'round here,
(In this city)
That I won't disappear
(In this city)
I got nothing to fear
(In this city)
(In this city)
And I found that 'round here,
(In this city)
That I won't disappear
(In this city)
I got nothing to fear
(In this city)
(In this city)
I've been down here
Down these roads
People pass through
Some stay some go
Standing here broke
Not a penny to my name
But she says she loves me all the same
I try my best
And you do too
And all you want is something you can move to
Everybody's gotta get their kicks somewhere
Everybody gotta fit in somewhere
There's an open road
And I'm traveling down
Don't know where to go
But I lock and load
Shoot that sky 'till the moon explode
(Moon explode)
Now we're laying in a field
White flowers on our backs
Talking 'bout home
But we can't go back
I guess that's why we left
So we could take a step
Keep moving and forget the rest.
You came in to my life
You cannot separate yourself
You came in to my life
You cannot separate yourself
And I found that 'round here,
(In this city)
That I won't disappear
(In this city)
I got nothing to fear
(In this city)
(In this city)
And I found that 'round here,
(In this city)
That I won't disappear
(In this city)
I got nothing to fear
(In this city)
(In this city)
And I found that 'round here,
(In this city)
That I won't disappear
(In this city)
I got nothing to fear
(In this city)
