Geocache Description:


This is a narrow but busy lane - there is a bit of a pull in here but this cache isn't intended as a drive-by - it's supposed to be done on a loop.  You could park at the north end of the lane (waypoint) but if so be very careful walking back.

The cache title is for a song.  If you can work out who the band were, and then where they come from, then, in a very tortured way, you'll get a clue as to the container, through a synonym for the band's home town. Yeah, I know, that was unnecessarily tortured.

Iris

Originally written for the soundtrack of the 1998 film City of Angels, the song was later included on the band's sixth album Dizzy Up the Girl. The song's time signature alternates between 4/4 and 6/8, and it features an unusual guitar tuning in which all of the strings are tuned to D, with the exception of the lowest string which is a B, lending the guitar a chorus-like effect. The song was certified Platinum by the RIAA on August 18, 2008. In October 2012, "Iris" was ranked number one on Billboard's "Top 100 Pop Songs 1992–2012" chart, which ranked the top songs of the first 20 years of the Mainstream Top 40/Pop Songs chart.
