Recently this song has become more well-known because of the BP advert on television where the song has been adapted to better suit the advert. However, this catchy song was written by a Los Angeles based band called Message Of The Blues in 1997 and talks about the singer's love of his home town.
It's very listenable melody is complemented by simple lyrics and I think it is overall a great song which nearly everyone with different tastes in music can appreciate. This is because it has elements of rock, indie and grunge styles, making it generally a very popular song.
