Waterbird Board: Space six

This song presents an interesting perspective on the theme that's been present throughout this waterbird game. Billy sings about the fall of the great Broadway, yet rather than feeling a sense of loss, the listener gets the feeling that New Yorkers maintained their pride throughout Broadway's demise.

I had a hard time picking the lyrics from this song -- the beginning seemed very applicable, but the end does a better job conveying the invincible tone: "You know those lights were bright on Broadway-
But that was so many years ago...
Before we all lived here in Florida-
Before the Mafia took over Mexico.
There are not many who remember-
They say a handful still survive...
To tell the world about...
The way the lights went out,
And keep the memory alive...."

"Downeaster Alexa," "Modern Woman," and "Captain Jack" all create the feeling of yearning for the past. "Miami 2017" describes the glories of the past while maintaining that their memories will live on.
