Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 03:14:11 GMT

ST. LOUIS - It's not as official as the Star Spangled Banner or the Texas state song, but St. Louis, Missouri does indeed have a musical "anthem" of sorts. Last year, a folk/rock musician named Matt Farley released an album of 50 songs in tribute to Missouri. Farley is known colloquially as "The Guy Who Sings Songs About Cities & Towns." The second song on Farley's 2022 album, "Missouri Oh Yeah! Good Yes" is called "St. Louis Anthem." It's probably you won't recite before a ballgame or school event, and it may seem a bit bizarre, but it's certainly one for good laughs and worth a listen. New hydrogen hub in Wentzville raises concern for residents  The tune consists of an uplifting beat and energetic vocals. Farley starts it with the opening line, "St. Louis, Missouri!

Also, he joyfully claims St. Louis as the "Rome of the West."You can liste...
