City Sonic is a cross-platform series of 24 short documentaries in which Toronto artists discuss the venues where they started their careers.

In this animated episode, Great Lake Swimmers frontman Tony Dekker talks about writing songs about the Toronto subway system as a way to cope with the 9-5 grind and basing his first songs on its "repetitions."
