CD ReviewsEffective lyrics sung with equally effective passion. A Reader | Somewhere | 04/22/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "It's been many months since I first heard this song, and I still haven't gotten tired of it. This song was played on the radio station here in NYC, just as Beth Hart was being given some National exposure--before Letterman and 90210. (She gave a great in-person interview on the station, as well. She seemed like a very personable character.) When I woke up to the song one morning, it immediately gripped my guts and I couldn't stop thinking about it all day. The lyrics reminded me of how I felt many years ago when I first came to this enormous city--lost, alone, etc. Many times I wanted to give in and go back to my "safe" suburban town. Even though the song's LA, EVERYONE anywhere can connect, because we've all felt that way. But I think that the biggest impact of the song is what's said in the end, which goes beyond feeling alone in a big metropolis, but the idea that it's the same everywhere and there's this inexplicable desire to return to LA, or wherever, because it's really home no matter how bad it feels sometimes. Perhaps I've analyzed it too much, (or not well enough), because in the bigger picture, it's just a really wonderful and moving song. Also, just as a sidebar, on the single there are two versions: the original release and a re-edit with new lyrics in response to the recent rash of school violence. Beth changed "She bought a gun, she bought a gun...." to "She's so ashamed, she's so ashamed. She knows Heaven don't want her anyway." Whatever the choice for the lyric change, I think it's much deeper and means more to the listener.Thanks for such a great record!" The l.a. song sarah | texas | 03/27/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "i just love the l.a. song because i can relate to it" Amazing Nicole Buresh | Wisconsin | 03/01/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "I love this song. I first heard her sing this song on 90210 and immediately ran out to buy her CD. I crank up my car stereo and sing along at the top of my lungs. Awesome song and CD."
