Story Behind the Song
Recorded in 2 Bayswater basements on various gear. I went to San Francisco once and never wanted to leave. This song is my way of going back. Apologies to the Beach Boys and Everclear.
Lyrics
I'm feeling California... something good is happening here I guess I should have warned you... this could get quite cheesy Everything seems so easy, when I'm in California. We lay like starfish on the sand, the whole world at our command All our dreams within our reach as we walk along the beach Venture far as we can go, out into the ocean flow Now we stand, ankle deep, frozen-skinned and rosy-cheeked We hold hands along the beach I sit and watch you as you sleep, while Phantom plays across the street Lie in the neon glow, the only you I want to know Carry ice from down the hall, fill the sink, chill the drink Watch the world as I write, let them tell me what to think Tourists take their memories, home in boxes as they please I don't need to keep my own, they won't leave me alone Now I'll never be alone I think they watered down my beer, oh yeah they like it that way here Tastes like they watered down my beer Let's rent a car and the hit the road: take the highway down the coast Hang around in Santa Cruz, we've got nothing left to lose The place of all my boyhood dreams: boardwalk and skee-ball machines Roller coaster overhead, mini-golf and crashing waves If there's a god then I am saved: everything now relates Never thought it would be true, it would be imperfect without you Feeling California.
