Something Wonderful: Night Comes to Los Angeles

NightFall from Colin Rich on Vimeo.

Music: M83, "Echoes of Mine" An English translation of the lyrics-

"It is late. I am looking for my other home, taking an unfamiliar path: a small trail near the factories and the city, cutting through the forest. I can barely see nature when suddenly, night falls. I am engulfed by a world of silence, yet I am not afraid. I fall asleep for a few minutes at the most, and when I wake up, the sun is there and the forest is shining with a bright light.

I recognize this forest. It is not an ordinary forest, it is a forest of memories. My memories. The white and noisy river, my adolescence. The tall trees, the men I have loved. The birds in flight, and in the distance, my lost father.

My memories aren't memories anymore. They are there, with me, dancing and embracing, singing and smiling at me.
I look at my hands. I caress my face, and I am 20 years old. And I love like I have never loved before."

Yep, it's something to look forward to.

I'm about twenty minutes east of downtown. Time was, you could see that ocean of electric stars with just a quick hike up to a little spot in La Habra Heights called Flat Top. It was one of the most spectacular views in all of LA county. Was. Some years back someone put a big ass mansion on Flat Top. Now it's private property. No one gets to go up there anymore.

There is just *so* much beauty in the world, everywhere you look. You just have to look.
