Sierra Blanco

Sierra Blanco‘s “Don’t Wanna Know” is about Todd, a high school senior at a pre-eminent high school in Palo Alto, California. Todd is an athlete and, reflecting the high academic standards of the school, is second in his class. Emerging from a mandatory counseling session with an ineffective guidance counselor, he is preoccupied with life’s changes, the loss of his friends, and a previously stable world. He meets his girlfriend Heather who rejects him and he sings the song to himself but for her. As he struggles to accept the messiness and difficulties of reality he sings, “Maybe the world can’t be golden but it still can glow.”
