The Mamas & The Papas - California Dreamin' (Official HD Video)

Музыка

California Dreamin' by The Mamas & the Papas, released in 1965. It was written in 1963 by John Phillips and Michelle Phillips while they were living in New York, inspired by Michelle's nostalgia for California. At the time the Phillips were members of the folk group New Journeymen. It is considered to be one of the most representative songs of the sixties.
"California Dreamin'" was The Mamas & The Papas' first song and first big hit.

    Am I the only one who feels that strange sense of sadness when missing a time that did not even live. I was born in this century (2001) just 20 years ago, but for some scary reason, this beautiful song makes me feel like I lived through that time and I miss it soooo much that I think I'm an old soul. Thanks for uploading it again, I found this video a few months ago that I became obsessed with and you don't know how happy this music video makes me :') 🇵🇪

    I'm a '90s baby too and have been drawn to oldies music since age 10. As a teen I felt like I was born in the wrong decade. Music resonates a vibe, a complex energy. Trends come and go but some feelings are eternal. In the '60s this vibe was thick and overflowing everywhere. We've still got it in each of us, some more than others, but the 2020s mainstream is just out of phase with this vibe.

    Well, well. Producers are not a recent invention. They have been around in one form or another for ages. Ever since the advent of the music recording industry. This song (as well as others by The Mamas and The Papa) was produced by a certain Lou Adler, who also produced recordings by Carole King, Janis Joplin, Barry McGuire, Johnny Rivers and Spirit. And as far as technology goes, Lou Adler used all the state of the art equipment that was available to him at the time. 1965, in this case, so no Melodyne or Auto-Tune... ;O)

    Lyrics: All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown) And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray) I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk) On a winter's day (on a winter's day) I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm) If I was in L.A. (if I was in L.A.) California dreamin' (California dreamin') On such a winter's day Stopped into a church I passed along the way Well, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees) And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray) You know the preacher like the cold (preacher like the cold) He knows I'm gonna stay (knows I'm gonna stay) California dreamin' (California dreamin') On such a winter's day All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown) And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray) I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk) On a winter's day (on a winter's day) If I didn't tell her (if I didn't tell her) I could leave today (I could leave today) California dreamin' (California dreamin') On such a winter's day (California dreamin') On such a winter's day (California dreamin') On such a winter's day

That happened to me three times yesterday. God, I love this song! And I really wish to see California with my own eyes at least once someday, but it will most likely never happen. Still, thank you for the dreams and vibes, The Mamas & The Papas! With love from cold and gloomy Russia.

    Trust me you're not missing anything. This song is more of a reflection of the musicians than it is of California. They could've named the song Scandinavia Dreaming and you would have those same feelings you currently have of California, but instead theyd be about Scandinavia. -I've been in California my whole life. México has better beaches and weather. As well as culture. California is all about leftist identity politics. They treat you like a demographic (i.e. black/white, male/female, liberal/conservative) instead of getting to know you as an individual.

    ​@@patternsofconstruction267 well, if you live there - you know better. But a bunch of my favorite bands like SoaD and Linkin Park are from California, it have to be something here. Not to mention the climate, the view, the palm trees etc. Treating people depending on its group is common here too. If you're against the war, if you don't like our government, you aren't an orthodox christian or muslim, if you're not a big fan of "traditional" values (as government sees them), if you don't hate West and Ukraine - you will have a hard times with significant part of our population and they wouldn't care how good of a person you are. And, no, Scandinavia has a lot of great things, but it's too depressive and cold (not as much as my country, but close to it). And the 60s in USA were cool in general)

    fun fact, the whole band lived in the virgin islands homeless on the beach till they went to a bar and Cass (the bigger girl) sang for the bar and she got hired, a patron at the bar liked the singing and let them stay at a hotel he owned for a bit, then Cass got enough money to fly directly to LA. The rest of the group took a boat from the island they were on to Puerto Rico to then Fly to New York then they actually had to drive a limousine across the country to la.
