Lyrics
From New York to L.A.
Reference to the geographical span of influence from New York to Los Angeles.
Up to the San Francisco Bay
Extending the scope to the San Francisco Bay area.
There's a sound that still plays
Indication of a persistent, enduring sound.
You can hear it every day
Assurance that this sound is present daily.
Everywhere you go it can be found
Emphasis that the sound is ubiquitous and can be encountered everywhere.
It's those classic sounds
Identification of this pervasive sound as "classic sounds."
All those tunes today
Recognition of contemporary tunes, albeit with a neutral stance on their quality.
well I guess they sound okay
Acceptance that modern songs are satisfactory but not preferred.
But the songs in my head
Preference for the songs stored in the speaker's mind.
I'd rather hear them till I'm dead
Strong preference to continue hearing the preferred songs throughout life.
Turn that volume up and play it proud
Encouragement to increase the volume and proudly enjoy the preferred classics.
Play those classic sounds
Reiteration of the enjoyment and importance of classic sounds.
Don't let anyone tell you what to listen to
Empowerment to resist external influence on musical preferences.
'Cause what you choose is truly you
Affirmation of individuality in choosing one's preferred music.
What you like is nobody's business
Assertion that personal musical taste is a private matter.
What gets you going may be different
Acknowledgment that diverse preferences exist and should be respected.
so keep it going
Encouragement to continue enjoying one's unique musical preferences.
With those classic sounds
Reiteration of the importance and enjoyment of classic sounds.
It's those classic sounds
Confirmation of the enduring nature of these classic sounds.
Play the classic sounds
Final call to actively play and enjoy the classic sounds.
