In San Francisco the winds seem to come from every direction. The vibrant musical community can push you into accelerated creativity while the cost of living demands job performance to earn and survive. The beauty of your surroundings call you out but the city walls start caving in. Sometimes a song helps me find answers, in this case the song never really resolves, just like the hustle and bustle of city life.
