About This Track
The lyrics of “Chicago” are a particularly striking aspect of the song, in Pitchfork’s review of the album Illinois it was said that ” “Chicago” cagily celebrates the innate (and deeply American) tendency to employ highways as escape routes, ditching old mistakes for new swatches of land, new plates of eggs, new parking lots.”

This is a good song, but I can't get excited about it. It's well made, and a lovely song, I just can't get into it the way I'd like to.
