Big City life, Mattafix says it all!

Big City Life by Mattafix is not exactly the genre of music I like to listen to.  But when I heard this song, I loved the beat, and if you listen to the lyrics, it can get you into a thinking mode.  They are honest, and send a clear message;

Don’t you wanna know me?
Be a friend of mine.
I’ll share some wisdom with you.
Don’t you ever get lonely,
From time to time
Don’t let the system get you down

I live in a very small village, and had my share of living in a big city, which I don’t miss at all.  As Mattafix clearly wrote in their lyrics, life in big cities can get very lonely and cold.

It is quite impressive when compared to a big city, how in a small village everyone says hi, everyone share everything, and there is more communication and trust.  It is like one big family.  Unfortunately, in a big city, no one smiles, everyone is in a hurry and the most important things in life are time and money.  Where at the end of the day, in a small village you find what you really need in your life, relaxation, quietness and some warm feeling from the neighbours around, a sense of family.

Mattafix, you couldn’t have said it better!

The Linguist across the seas and the oceans,
A permanent Itinerant is what I’ve chosen.
I find myself in Big City prison, arisen from the vision of man kind.
Designed, to keep me discreetly neatly in the corner,
you’ll find me with the flora and the fauna and the hardship.
Back a yard is where my heart is still I find it hard to depart this Big City Life
