about

This is the first of our "Every Seven" tracks, where we release (or re-release) a song every week. This one was written for the upcoming remake of "About Last Night," set in LA. Here's the video, featuring a whole lot of maps of Los Angeles through the years: youtu.be/UEHqm8ZOwZ4

lyrics

Desert With Lights
© 2012 by Brendan Milburn & Valerie Vigoda

drive as fast as you can and you're feeling so free
in the river of cars as they race to the bright blue sea
it ain't hard to escape when you just gotta get a little space
yeah when things get rough
and you've had enough
then you're in the perfect place

it's a city of angels
it's a city of dreams 
where all sins are forgiven 
washed away by the light of the bright sunbeams
oh, if you're lonely, you're only
a moment away from the star-studded nights
there are stars all around you
and they shine in this desert
it's a desert with lights

there are hopes you've kept secret ever since you were young
that chance still never taken, the song still unsung
in the glow of the sunshine, maybe there's nothing to fear
if you breathe in deep
and take that leap
then it just might happen here

in the city of angels
it's a city of dreams
where all sins are forgiven
washed away by the light of the bright sunbeams
oh, if you're lonely, you're only
a moment away from the star-studded nights
there are stars all around you
and they shine in this desert
it's a desert with lights

where the people seem to be so
welcoming and grand
at the edge of possibility
in the warmth of the western sand
'cause for every fallen angel 
who has ever dropped from grace,
for every ray of hope extinguished
a new one comes to take...its...place...

in the city of angels
in the city of dreams
where all sins are forgiven
washed away by the light of the bright sunbeams
oh, if you're lonely, you're only
a moment away from the star-studded nights
there are stars all around you
and they shine in this desert
it's a desert with lights
