The song Laurel Canyon Home by John Mayall is a tribute to the beauty and peacefulness of Laurel Canyon, a region in Los Angeles, California. The lyrics describe the singer's morning routine of exploring the area until he finds a spot to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. He revels in the tranquility of being alone, with only the sun, trees, and silence for company. The second verse takes a nostalgic turn as the singer imagines what the region must have looked like a century ago when it was populated by Apaches. Despite the passage of time, the area remains relatively unchanged and still exudes the same natural beauty. As the sun sets, the singer reflects on the unique lifestyle offered by Laurel Canyon living. He knows that he will miss the freedom and tranquility of this place. Ultimately, Laurel Canyon Home celebrates the simple joys of nature and underscores the importance of finding peace in our surroundings.
