"Philly Philly Philadelphia" - from AFTERLAND, sung by Emily Skeggs

SETUP: For the 15 years since the war destroyed Philadelphia, Lu and her sister have been living in an underground bunker, cut off from the world. Equipped only with the “P” section of an old dictionary and distant memories of her childhood, Lu has cobbled together a vision of Philadelphia and dreams of the day when she can finally return.
