This is the song that first got me into deertick. I'm kind of wondering why they called this song Baltimore blues #1 and what the story behind that is. I live in Baltimore and I can understand the song, but really it could be about any town that someone is feeling trapped in. So why Baltimore?

@societiespliers Maybe they were watching The Wire and singing from the POV of one of the characters. (I live in Baltimore too.)
