L.A Noire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No sabía que quería
No sabía que tenía
Ahora tengo 24
quiero un piso con dos gatos
Bomba de Hiroshima te quiero encima de mí
Aunque pase el tiempo lo quiero todo por mí
te veo junto al mar
No soy igual que en bachillerato
juego a la play pero solo a ratos
Tell me baby what you want
No sabía que quería
No sabía que tenía
Ahora tengo 24
quiero un piso con dos gatos
Tell me baby what you want
No sabía que quería
No sabía que tenía
Ahora tengo 24
quiero un piso con dos gatos
Ya termino la universidad
quiero un curro que me deje tras nochar y más
A tu lado, A tu lado
Yo tu Tatsuro y tú Mariya
me encanta como hablas y me maquillas
Quiero ir en tren a Tokyo,
cantar en karaoke con mis socios
Es por la pasta no por las ganas
así que me conformo con Valdelagrana
Tell me baby what you want
No sabía que quería
No sabía que tenía
Ahora tengo 24
quiero un piso con dos gatos

I loved the game, definitely one of the best titles to be imortalized in the last genre along with Red Dead Redemption.
And this soundtrack?... Just wow... It's so relaxing. I love listening to it, especially like this:
- After a long stressful day... Just arrive home, pop on the music, close my eyes and just.... hmmmmm
- In a warm summer night. During the summer I used to put this music on very low volume playing near my ears while I fell asleep with all my covers pulled back and my leg up against the walll... It's the small things in life that make it worth living sometimes... the feeling was amazing.
- And I also love listening to it to the sounds of rain... Either by listening to rainy mood OR the actual natural thing. The rain outside, especially at night, the window a bit open, just enough to see the streets and the lights, and then just listen to both the rainy environment and the soundtrack...
Feelings with no equal... Seriously... Put it on your to-do lists IF you like this track :)

"How long will the player stay on the main menu?"
"Probably just a few seconds, may as well make a track that's about a minute just to be safe."
Creates a 9 minute masterpiece

L.A.Noire is an extremely underrated piece of art. It should’ve gotten more attention for a continuation to be possible

With what tho? The story was done and it was done in the noire style
Invisigaming
@Notthis Yourlightmaybe a spin-off of some kind, set in early 90s LA? The LA riots seem to be a good foundation to build upon. Maybe 60s San Francisco with the Zodiac killer and all of that fun stuff.
