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
