Walkin’ in the Sand

Abstract

ion. LL: I was listening to different songs, and I picked that one because he talks about how he’s found a new love and is never going to cry again, and it feels very positive. But then there’s this contradiction at the end: If that’s true, ‘‘then why I am I still crying over you?’’ Somehow that fits the southern California landscape, the idea of utopia, a place with oranges growing everywhere. The reality is that it’s a big, improvised mess, congested by traffic and inattentive to its history. I try to bring the making of a soundtrack to the foreground and make it so that image is never more important
