"The song is about hope and what it means to be a humanitarian. Whether we are talking about domestic violence, racism or the environment, to stay silent is to be complicit. Right now, the environment is at a tipping point, we’ve just lived through the worst bushfires in Australia’s history, whilst in the rest of the world floods and famine are at an unprecedented level. Unless we say something, how will we build a better future?
In the cover art, there is a cityscape with an absence of people. One car stands at an intersection in a city that would normally be bumper to bumper. Due to the global pandemic, this is what a lot of cities have looked like. The emptiness and silence is unsettling... It's like coming face to face with our own extinction. The only thing to fear is silence" - Eskimo Joe

"A song is a city was a very rare album. Mainly because, much like today, we were stuck at home on a forced sabbatical and not out on the road touring. We wrote a lot of songs during that time, What we ended up with was a snapshot of Fremantle in the early naughties with us in our early twenties. With all the friends and lovers and lover friends and friends lovers, All the heroes, villains and everyone in between. That’s why we came up with the title, it seemed like the most accurate way to describe our world. A city of songs" - KAV
