Vancouver (/vænˈkuːvər/) is a coastal seaport city on the mainland of British Columbia, Canada. The 2011 census recorded more than 603,000 people in the city, making it the eighth largest among Canadian cities. The metropolitan area, with more than 2.3 million residents, is the third most populous metropolitan area in the country and the most populous in Western Canada. With 5,249 people per square kilometre (13,590 per sq mile), the City of Vancouver is the most densely populated Canadian municipality among those with 5,000 residents or more. Vancouver is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada, with 52% for whom English is not their first language.
The original settlement, named Gastown, grew around the Hastings Mill logging sawmill and a nearby tavern, both established in 1867. Enlarging to become the townsite of Granville, with the announcement that the railhead would reach the site it was renamed "Vancouver" and incorporated as a city in 1886. By 1887, the transcontinental railway was extended to the city to take advantage of its large natural seaport, which soon became a vital link in a trade route between the Orient, Eastern Canada, and London. As of 2009, Port Metro Vancouver is the busiest and largest port in Canada, and the most diversified port in North America. While forestry remains its largest industry, Vancouver is well known as an urban centre surrounded by nature, making tourism its second-largest industry. Major film production studios in Vancouver and Burnaby have turned Metro Vancouver into the third-largest film production centre in North America after Los Angeles and New York City, earning it the film industry nickname, Hollywood North.

Genres: ,When the sun went down
You were sitting under someone else's sunset
And I wasn't around
And you were wishing that I was a guy that you'd just met
And I was probably stumbling down
Some back street alley in Amsterdam
While you were making excuses
And breaking another heart
Or maybe I was drinking wine
With the pigeons in a square in Venice
And I was wondering what you're doing
And wondering where you are
When the stars came out
I was sitting in a studio on sunset
And the lights were down
And I was wishing the time we had wasn't over yet
And you were probably sitting in the airport
Waiting on a plane to Vegas
While I was packing a suitcase
Staring at a waiting car
Or maybe you were heading out
To some house party on Lake Austin
And I was wondering what you're doing
And wondering where you are
When my luck ran out
I was sitting on a concrete block in Little Rock
We didn't scream or shout
We just said goodbye
And I waited for the click
And the lights went out
And now I'm packing it up and I'm rollin' on out to Vancouver
For some wasted youth and a fresh set of lonely stars
And I'm wondering baby, if you ever saw the best of us
And I'm wondering what you're doing
And wondering where you are
I still wonder what you're doing
