Step Back In Time (continued): LA LA Land

This is a follow up to “Step Back In Time: Lost in LA” http://lindabyharrison.com/2012/03/step-back-in-time/

So, the next day I woke up to this:

Not bad I’d say! But nothing like the view in the evening:

The point in sharing these photos is to say that when the skies are blue, it makes it easier to clear your head of clutter and start the day fresh. My week in LA began and I was open to any opportunity that might come my way. It’s been said that British people are reserved and sometimes come across as unfriendly, the opposite is true of LA people. I was stopped every day by someone wanting to give me a compliment, often these compliments turned into conversations which turned into “I know somebody that does videos/music/clothes/gigs - maybe they could help you”. The whole culture is far more relaxed, which made it so much easier for me to settle in and get to work.

While I was out there I was co-writing, finding contacts for music venues, making friends and getting inspired. It was all preparation for the things you’re going to see over the next 18 months. Particularly look out for the song “Supermodel” (written with Jacques Brautbar ex-Phantom Planet), some LA inspired clothing/jewellery and fingers crossed an American tour next March (2013).

Keep your eyes pealed for Step Back In Time: Part 3 where I find myself homeless (not for long) and I arrive at SXSW, the biggest festival for new music.

I was surprised when I heard this was written for GaGas Grandpa. I relate to this on a completely different level. To me it’s about where I am now, and where I want to be; on stage, with your company. Like this:

I might need a few more fans before I can reenact this though; help a sister out, (please) share the video (if you like it).

I’m not usually someone that likes to tell people what’s behind my songs. More often than not these things are best left to the imagination. However, someone suggested to me that perhaps I should divulge a little more information on this song; and I think there’s a chance that in this circumstance they might be right.

I originally wrote the lyrics to this song with thoughts of government corruption and a leader being held accountable for their wrong-doings. I saw hundreds of thousands of people, perhaps even millions, lining the streets of my home town, climbing towards a government building where the government leader was hiding. 

As time went on, I watched the strong images coming out of Egypt and Libya and the song became more and more powerful to me. I feel a huge mixture of emotions when I perform this. I hope when you watch this you can feel what I feel.
