This musical Mystery cache is dedicated to British singer-songwriter Robin Daniel "Robbie" Skinner, better known by his stage name Cavetown. Robin was born on the 15th of December in 1998, in Oxford, England.
He began his music career by posting covers and original songs on YouTube.
Cavetown’s music is often introspective, dealing with themes of mental health, identity, and self-acceptance. His soft, lo-fi sound, combined with his gentle voice and honest lyrics, has earned him widespread recognition within the indie music scene. He plays multiple instruments, including guitar, ukulele, and keyboard, often self-producing his music from his bedroom.
In order to solve this mystery cache, you have to listen to Cavetown’s music and look for clues to solve the following questions, and get coordinates for the final location of the container.
I tried to make the questions so that you actually have to listen to the music to find the lyrics, and not so easy to just google. The points is for you to dive into his discography and experience the music, while also picking up lyrics on the way - I hope you enjoy this geocache and his music! :-)
