'''"In The Shadow Of The Valley"''' is the 10th song on [[start\|American Music Club]]'s seventh album, 1994’s ''[[San Francisco]]''. It is only available on the CD version of the album.

			[[Mark Eitzel]] spoke about the song in ''Addicted To Noise'', stating, "Well, that's L.A. though. That's like people in L.A. People don't live in L.A. to respond to others or to live in a society. They live in L.A. to work and make money and fulfill their dreams. Hopefully, if they're successful at all, they live in a kind of bubble where they really don't have to interact with anybody. You know what I mean? So yeah, you give up your cynicism, you give up your hard shell as soon as you stop interacting with people. If I opened my heart, then you'd be washed away. Yeah, because as soon as you start to live, you know, then, it's destructive in those situations. It's weird, it's all about that city and me being on the freeway in that city. A lot. You know, having to live there. And it's about the riots in a way because I think the riots are kind of the future, although I don't think it's going to be an uprising, there's just going to be more and more random violence and more and more and more hate. Does that sound hopeful?"<ref>{{cite web \| url=http://americanmusicclub.com/index.php?title=Articles:Addicted_To_Noise_-_December_1994 \| work=Addicted To Noise \| date=December 1994 \| author=Michael Goldberg \| title=Wishing The World Away \| accessdate=March 27, 2018}}</ref>

==Lyrics==
I gave up my cynicism, I gave up my hard shell 
I gave up everything that would cause you the least pain 
I'm immodest as a child old before it's time 
Why should I hide something I've no chance to see 
My night was sleepless so all through my day 
I took the next shade of weariness down to L.A.

I'm off like a shotgun out of your reach 
My self-importance, my mind-numbing haze 
No I don't want to know about my life 
No I don't want to know what I'm thinking or feeling 
Ignorance is bliss but babe, we won't stay that way 
We'll escape heaven somehow down in L.A.

I can make your future easier to predict 
Hot as a devil and cold as an addict

People usually just make me tired 
The plague of always deserving something better 
God save me from the rewards I deserve 
The one for giving up hope, the one for the love that I serve 
If I opened my heart then you'd be washed away 
Down the bone-dry rivers that drain L.A. 
My nights are all sleepless so all through my day 
I like to take shades of weariness all through L.A.
