about

Los Angeles is an exploration of society and sustainability. During my first time in the United States, I was baffled by the sheer scale of everything around me. I felt somehow alienated and alone in one of the world's largest cultural and creative epicentres. The global pandemic and halt to industry have left me wondering how the world will grieve or celebrate what we usually take for granted, but also how we will lay the foundations for a more conscious and sustainable future given the opportunity. This then gained an added depth, considering the latest wave of protests and activism against racism and systemic injustice.

lyrics

This town is far too big for me
Can’t stand on corners patiently
We built these walls
We built these walls too eagerly

Can’t find myself in all I’ve been
Too low to see the mess I’m in
Drop off the kids
Drop off the kids and make your plans

What we’ve begun, we’ll be our father’s sons
The land decrees
Home of the slaves

We write the history we please
Then live in duress and disease
We’ll raise a flag
Our flags have died upon their poles

White picket fence, we’ll be our neighbour’s friends
Distasteful seed
The holy saved
