The most beautiful, random song about Los Angeles I have ever heard
The song “Los Angeles, by Peter Bradley Adams, is a very beautiful song. In fact, it’s almost haunting. But, the odd thing is that I can’t seem to figure out what the song is about. It sounds like it should have some deep meaning, but it’s almost as if someone said, “hey, write a song about Los Angeles, and make it beautiful.” Well, mission accomplished.
Give it a listen:

Oh Los Angeles we leave you now
At the setting of your skies
As we leave the comfort of your ground
With your angels we will flyWell you carried us in broken dreams
Like a mother does her sons
We were scattered ‘cross your dirty streets
We were dying one by oneAnd you held us in your city lights
When our eyes had lost the stars
And we made our peace with lonely nights
And you healed our broken heartsWell they say the Big One’s gonna come
And you will fall into the sea
We will know that then your work is done
And your angels will go free

This guy sounds a lot like Cliff Young of Caedmon's Call fame. I really like this song.

My interpretation: Sometimes you end up feeling a strong emotional connection to those places/things/people that challenge you most in life, and that's the sentiment this song is communicating. I love the picture he paints of a person who personifies his surroundings in order to to survive a tough ordeal. Beautiful!
