Happy Sunday,

This is my submission for the Vibes Web3 Music Competition Week 4: La La Land, an original song from my debut EP 'It Was All A Dream.'

I wrote this song right after moving to Los Angeles. To me, the city seemed to have the freedom and energy I needed to become the person I wanted to be and felt like everyone found understanding and a true sense of home. I wanted to be part of that community and build a sense of belonging.

My music normally includes ethereal synths and more instruments, but this time I wanted to create a raw version and capture the pure essence of the song, with just an acoustic guitar – which is how it was originally written. So, I chose to sing the song in the middle of nature, and I think it's beautiful how the sound of birds weaves with the song.

I hope you enjoy it.

Lyrics

Westwood Boulevard
Don't know yet how to drive
It'll take me a while

Walking through Bel-Air
Cool breeze in my hair
Palm trees on the sides

Sipping chai tea in the sun
Watching people have fun
Enjoying life feeling young

They dream about reality
Living wild and free
Will I ever have that?

I wanna star in a movie
But don't want the fame
Drive with some friends until late

I wanna find me a lover
And care for each other
Worry about nothing
'Cause life feels so great
This is La La Land

Sunset Boulevard
Nice cars fancy bars
It's a time travel mart

The city has a mystery
Aging is just a myth
Growing young a belief

No one seems to be alone
They have somewhere to go
Want to belong to the club

I wanna star in a movie
But don't want the fame
Drive with some friends until late

I wanna find me a lover
And care for each other
Worry about nothing
'Cause life feels so great
This is La La Land
