The song you are about to hear is all about taking a break from city life, escaping from the crowds,
rinding a quiet place, far from trie human race.

The countryside also promises escape from the pollution of the city, somewhere to get some decent air to breathe. The countryside also offers somewhere where the sun is not hidden by smog, making it seem no more than a bright spot in the nighttime.
