Dear Los Angeles...
Fabian Scheidegger
The way your streets mean so much to your inhabitants.
The cold concrete and the blurry sky.
The hot weather and foggy mornings.
Loud music is sounding from the cars.
The people call themselves Angelenos.
Your culture rooted so deep in musical history.
In film making, for you, a form that extends the art.
Subcultures emerge straight from your heart.
So many of them you made famous.
Hollywood, Venice Beach, Compton, Inglewood, Downtown, The Valley, Malibu…
there’s no stop in your diversity.
The waves are crashing on the shore,
the smell of Coffee is coming out of a corner somewhere far off
. Sure you got your problems. But, dear Los Angeles, you are amazing.
