Dawes Perform Heartbreaking Tribute to Hometown on ‘Kimmel’ After Losing It All in Los Angeles Wildfires
Dawes performed a heartbreaking tribute to their hometown, 'Time Spent in Los Angeles,' on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' on Monday (Jan 13) amid wildfires.
Sitting on a chair and strumming an acoustic guitar, Taylor sang the tune’s melancholy opening lines, “These days my friends don’t seem to know me/ Without my suitcase in my hand/ Where I am standing still/ I seem to disappear,” as an image of a “Welcome to Altadena” postcard flashed behind them. As they played, images of firefighters battling the blazes, displaced Angelenos assessing the damage and the unimaginable destruction caused by the Santa Ana wind-fueled conflagrations rolled behind them, with Taylor, his eyes shut tight, singing, “But you got that special kind of sadness/ You got that tragic set of charms/ That only comes from times spent in Los Angeles/ Makes me wanna wrap you in my arms.” Host Jimmy Kimmel opened the show with an emotional monologue about the impact of the fires on his staff and fellow Angelenos, verging on tears as he praised the brave firefighters who have been working around the clock to save lives and property.
