The acoustic rock band Vertical Horizon was formed in 1990 by Georgetown University undergrads Matthew Scannell and Keith Kane; after graduation in 1991 the duo relocated to Boston and, in 1992, self-released their debut album There and Back Again. There and Back Again was recorded in Matt's old high school over a period of a few days, and Matt and Keith together played all the instruments appearing on the album, though they both mostly played acoustic guitar. Both also contributed to writing all the songs, and both sang. Matt and Keith toured for several years after this, mostly appearing with similar bands such as Jackopierce. By 1995, they were ready to record again.

Life In The City Lyrics
Vertical Horizon
Cut it down go put it away
Take an inside look on the outside
Another day
Take time look at the sunshine
Have mine its better on you anyway
Nobodys perfect all the time
But I know you
And you know me
And its alright
Im waking up gonna buy me some shoes
Take a long walk out of the hindsight start anew
Look around maybe buy a new topcoat
Stop moping the rains gonna rain through
Rain through on you
Yes its true that
Nobodys sunny all the time
But I know you and you know me
And its alright
And its your life
And its my life
Its our life in the city
Get a new place out in the hills
Plant a seed Im in need of a break from the fire drill
Repaint where all the paint aint
Get a clean slate and maybe we can buy a thrill
Ill foot that bill
Yes I will cause
Nobodys busy all the time
But I know you
And you know me
And its alright
