    This is the music I listened to when I was so full of myself and youthful exuberance

    I want a 10-hour version of this song where the orchestral interlude plays over and over.

    I keep leaving Los Angeles, vowing to never return.
    And here I am, in LA again.
    Something has gone awry here.

    UMM, this needs to be the song for some TH-camr or in some movie about LA. "An ocean's gargle vomit on the floor...Los Angeles, I'm yours." I love how he says demure.

    There is a city by the sea
    A gentle company
    I don't suppose you want to?
    And as it tells its sorry tale
    In harrowing detail
    Its hollowness will haunt you
    Its streets and boulevards
    Orphans and oligarchs
    And here's a plaintive melody
    A truncated symphony.
    An ocean's garbled vomit on the shore
    Los Angeles, I'm yours
    O ladies, pleasant and demure
    Sallow-cheek'd and sure
    I can see your undies
    And all the boys you drag about
    An empty, fallow fount
    From Saturdays to Mondays.
    You heel and valley crowd
    Hanging your trousers down at heel.
    This is the realest thing
    As ancient choirs sing
    A dozen blushing cherubs wheel above
    Los Angeles, my love.
    O what a rush of ripe elan!

    Languor on divans
    Dalliant and dainty
    But o the smell of burnt cocaine,
    The dolor and decay
    It only makes me cranky
    O great calamity,
    Ditch of iniquity and tears
    How I abhor this place
    Its sweet and bitter taste
    Has left me wretched, wretching on all fours
    Los Angeles, I'm yours
    Los Angeles, I'm yours
    Los Angeles, I'm yours

    Why my friend left Los Angeles. It's really a shitty place to live in and poverty is all around the city but something just makes you feel like you're at home. I have went here expecting so much but was disappointed but not to the point of leaving it for true beauty lies in the beholder. There's something so ugly about this place that makes it beautiful don't expect it like the movies because the beauty of Los Angeles is found underneath the dirt and rubble in this city.

    This song describes exactly how I feel about Toronto

    5 months ago I finally left that horrible place after living there my whole life. Now I finally feel alive! I hate L.A. Though it will always have a place in my heart.

    Ah the memories of whaling the solo on a melodica in the middle of the night. Los Angeles, I'm yours

    No song better sums up my feelings about a place. Whenever I visit LA I am in equal measure charmed beyond words and repulsed by both the superficial and substantial poverty of the place.

      In Tool's ode to LA, Maynard hopes the fault line does it's thing early. His mantra for that is *"Learn to swim"* 😂

    This song sucks. Your reflectiveness of LA is relative to your contribution to society and says more about you than it does about LA. People who don't have shit to offer society and live in poor communities will only have bad things to say about LA. If you have a college degree or a special talent you may be able to afford to live in one of the MANY wealthy communities LA has to offer. -maybe even make it big. I lived in west LA for 6 years and had multi-millionaire clients. The wealth, glamour, and fame that resides in LA can only be unlocked but those who are worthy. LA has something magical about it that is hard to explain; an electrified can do spirit that radiates from its inhabitants. Your server at a restaurant can be an aspiring writer waiting to land writing gig for the next big TV series; your UBER driver can be an aspiring actor waiting for their big break; you can be in a coffee shop sitting next to the a top engineer of SpaceX or the next millionaire entrepreneur and not even know it. LA is the city were Jay Leno can go from homelessness to celebrity and where undocumented immigrants like Cesar Millan (The Dog Whisperer) can get their TV series. Any shallow song can cherry pick the negative aspects of any city and make it sound like shit. The beauty of an opinionated song lies in capturing the essence of your topic. -the essence that is not visually discernible. This song has no depth and fails miserably at uncovering the complex beauty of this big crazy city.
