Adams, Peter Bradley - Los Angeles Lyrics






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 fly

Well you carried us in broken dreams
Like a mother does her sons
We were scattered 'cross your dirty streets
We were dying one by one

And 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 hearts

Well they say the Big One's gonna come
And you'll fall into the sea
We will know that then your work is done
And your angels will go free

Adams, Peter Bradley Los Angeles Comments
  1. a.... w....

    I listen to this song when I poop :) xoxo

  2. B.... H....

    I went on vacation to Los Angeles to where my sister lives and I'm leaving tommorow. No place has ever made me feel like I belong. No place has ever made me feel at home but now I am here. I don't want to leave. Cancel the airplane.... Please.. I don't want to go ..

  3. S.... ....

    Last summer I took a trip to LA and got to meet some of my wonderful friends I had originally met online. It was the first time most of us had ever seen each other in real life, and we enjoyed our time at a convention, exploring the city, and hanging out physically. As someone who's never had a lot of friends in her life, I can probably say it was the best week I've ever had.

    Though, it had to end eventually. We said our goodbyes, and I got on my flight alone to return home. As the plane took off from LAX, I listened to this song over the roaring engine of the plane. I took in the events that happened and thought about how it probably wouldn't happen again in a long while. And I cried, a lot, thinking about my friends who I may never see again like that, and how happy I was during my time in LA.

    This probably won't mean as much to a lot of people as it does for me. Whenever I hear this song I think of that week. It brings me down sometimes, because I miss those people a lot, and miss the times we shared, but also brings me joy recalling how amazing our time was. If you read this all, thanks, just felt like sharing.

    S.... ....

    Snep Wow. This relates to me a lot. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this song 💛

  7. H.... ....

    DAMN i just came across this song again after many years.... i swear this song still makes me cry!

  8. P.... S....

    all of my life I have been waiting for this music. Thank you

    P.... S....

    VERY VERY FRIEND, THAT I HAVE DONE GOOD

  9. R.... T....

    How can I get the instrumental version?

    R.... T....

    It's not the same song but very very similar and only instrumental, look up "any other name" from the American beauty soundtrack

  10. M.... S....

    This song is beautiful.

  11. N.... ....

    I actually made my cat who passed away 2 months ago a picture and I quoted the last lyrics in the picture. My cat was my angel, and on May 29th of this year his work on the earth was finally done and he was an angel set free.

  12. S.... ....

    There's nothing better than sitting in the backseat of your car in your pajamas listening to this song when you just want to get away.

  13. R.... B....

    What movie is this in?!

    R.... B....

    Something Borrowed

    R.... B....

    I know I'm 7 months late but I was looking in the comments to see if it was just me that noticed...it sounds very similar to "any other name" from the American Beauty soundtrack

  14. I.... L....

    What movie is this song in?

    I.... L....

    Losing in Love

  15. K.... Y....

    Does anyone listen to this song anymore.. I found it on a playlist i made last year, The feels tho

  16. C.... T....

    I think  you guys shouldn't  take the song to literally, the song I not about necessarily leaving Los Angeles behind, its about leaving something or someone that you love so dearly and is so cherished too you behind. It is about loss, longing, acceptance and saying goodbye...

  17. L.... F....

    Beautiful

  18. C.... B....

    It sounds kinda like a Christian song I've heard before. Anyone know the song?

    C.... B....

    I had that same thought though I cannot pinpoint which song it is.

  19. D.... M....

    I swear the music for this song is in a movie. Does anyone know what movie?

    D.... M....

    American Beauty

  20. C.... S....

    STILL WAITING FOR ON THE OTHER SIDE. YOURE KILLING ME PETER.

  21. T.... ....

    An extremely special song, if you've ever been a stranger living in LA.

    T.... ....

    I'm moving to LA in a few months and I remembered this song .

    T.... ....

    пОЧЕМУ?

  22. w.... m....

    I'm a huge Kings fan and this song started playing when we lost to the Ducks in the Stadium series and this song just worked for the moment. it may sound dumb. but that's the way I look at it.

  23. D.... B....

    I hear this song and I wish for my past but know its to late it reminds me of so many lost yet so many more to come its sad and sweet and says so much in so little this song reminds me of so much I'd once forgotten I wish I could rewind time till I realise if I could I'd lose my future this song says so much

  24. a.... k....

    This song came on pandora, and from the beginning it said "Los Angeles we leave you now" it reminded me of the earthquake that just occured, I looked at the whole lyrics before the song even played and this part got me "Well they say the big ones gonna come and we'll fall into the sea", they're saying California will drown :( This song gave me peace.

  25. G.... ....

    I was listening to Coldplay radio and this song came on and I immediately dropped my pencil (because I was doing my homework) and quietly checked what it was! Just beautiful

    G.... ....

    +Gwen Hodge Me too! It should really be more popular!

  26. D.... B....

    This is one of those songs that can apply to anything you're going through. It's so sad and beautiful and pure. It is loss. It is saying goodbye. It is peace in memory.

    D.... B....

    Drew, you nailed it. This song captures that sense of longing that we all have in us, whether a past relationship or something intangible we can't articulate.

  27. D.... Q....

    damn pandora 

  28. J.... L....

    I feel as if life has stopped. As if this music contains all my sorrows and happiness!

  29. f.... ....

    Why does this feel as if it belongs in some epic moment in a really great movie??? Why does it make me yearn for something I've never known??? That is what beautiful art does, no?

  30. S.... D....

    Idk why but I cry when I listen to this song.

  31. m.... ....

    Loved... I listened to this song when I wrote my brother letters when he was at basic training. It brought back every memory with him.

  32. m.... ....

    I don't think this song was meant to be taken literally, like leaving Los Angeles. I think it's about leaving something so cherished and

  33. K.... ....

    so freaking amazing!!! thank you

  34. R.... ....

    How's Korea going for you?

  35. C.... ....

    Angel Investigations, anybody?

  36. E.... ....

    No, No joke...
    Pandora Power
    <3

  37. H.... K....

    chills....tears ;(....and I broke the replay button :/

  38. C.... ....

    What is this song about? To me, it is about failure and LA being your life and dream for so long that the city itself has become your friend and enemy. That's just how I interpret it, though, your thoughts???

  39. C.... ....

    Was at the park listening to Pandora and this came on Adele Radio. I stopped and just started to cry because I am so exhausted with disappointment and I don't know how to begin to change it.

  40. J.... S....

    The song is beautiful enough I don't need to add to it ;)

  41. M.... M....

    thank you. sooooooo thank you.

  42. P.... ....

    PANDORA POWER! lol jk.

  43. o.... ....

  47. j.... c....

  48. S.... ....

    I listened to this as I left Los Angeles the last time to start a new life in Korea.

  49. A.... h....

    No matter what I'm doing, when this song comes on I want to burst into tears

  50. n.... ....

    i cried to this song. admit it, you did too.

  51. Z.... E....

    This song has so much emotion. I wish music on the radio was like this, breath taking and has meaning makes you think about life in a deeper way. But we listen to music that only talks about sex drugs and living it up... Thank you for this song its truly music

  52. J.... ....

    Love this guy...

  53. I.... ....

    Heard this on Pandora station "Greg Laswell." Made me stop everything I was doing to see what it was. <3

  54. M.... ....

    Oh.
    Thanks~

  55. m.... ....

    Pandora is an internet radio site which takes all of your musical preferences into one "station" and tries to pick music you will like based on what information you have given them. you can make multiple stations with different preferences for different music styles. it is all free save the occasional add. you can also download the app on both apple and android devices. it is very helpful to introduce you to new kinds of music and it will also recommend other stations to you.

  56. M.... ....

    Could you tell me what it is then? Please?

  57. m.... ....

    YES. that is very bad.

  58. M.... ....

    Um...no? Is that a bad thing?

  59. m.... ....

    your kidding right?

  60. M.... ....

    ....What's Pandora?

  61. M.... ....

    I got here from Hetalia.

  62. m.... ....

    This song definitely got me through some tough times

  63. b.... p....

    Heard this song while I saw someone I admire and it just sounded so perfect. Time stopped and I could only imagine the possibilities. <3 Thanks to Pandora

  64. i.... ....

    See, this is what things like Pandora are for, not helping a company sell advertising better, or making complicated algorithms and equations. Bringing music like this to as many people as possible.

  65. E.... P....

    Love this song - also found it on Pandora. It always introduces me to new amazing songs that i can cover :)

  66. a.... m....

    This song reminds me of my ex...i cried the first time i heard this song. It is so beautiful.

  67. J.... M....

    My baby told me he loved me when this song was playing on Pandora... thank you Pandora for blessing me with him<3

  68. p.... ....

    Awesome

  69. J.... M....

    This song was on the radio when my best friend, my lover, my baby told me he loved me :)

  70. a.... m....

    pandora brought this song to me. Its been on repeat for about 15 times now. Sometimes you just hear a song that hits and and it hits you hard. This one did it for me. I cant really say i relate to the lyrics in any profound way but it just brings about a certain feeling. I dont know why but it brings to light the fact that ive lost touch with a lot of good people in the past few years and i miss them dearly. This is a beautiful song.

  71. A.... L....

    Thanks Pandora. This is one of those songs that my heart beats along to. <3

  72. T.... ....

    thank you Troy from tumblr for having this on your playlist. :3

  73. T.... G....

    A storm is outside my house right now, and I'm on break from work. Played this song and all the stress of the day has gone away.

  74. m.... ....

    Pandora brought me here too...

  75. A.... ....

    I learned a beautiful contemporary routine to this song and I've liked this song ever since (three days ago that is!)

  76. E.... M....

    The first time I heard this song I was sitting at work. I was on the graveyard shift alone, left to myself thinking about my wife and newborn baby at home. It put me so deep in thought I almost cried, missing them, knowing that I should be home with them instead of where I was. This song was a realization for me, and helped me move through a rough time (that I'm still working through). It's helped me make a commitment to myself to be around more, to be a better father, husband, and person.

  77. T.... ....

    Absolutely beautiful...

  78. l.... ....

    obsessed.

  79. D.... C....
