California Dreaming (Acoustic Guitar) – Michael Chapdelaine
I have no idea who this guy is but he plays California Dreaming quite well finger style thought I would share.
This is one of my favorite songs especially during the crappy winter.
My Memory of California Dreaming
It reminds me of my first snowstorm in Utah. I had just moved to Utah to go to college. I was roommates with a childhood friend and we both had grown up in Northern California, a place that rarely required more than a sweatshirt. I remember looking out the window at the snow and looking at my buddy. Mike got up and didn’t utter a sound and put this song on our stereo and we just stared at the snow as it came down listening to the Beach Boys sing California Dreaming.
Here are the lyrics so you can sing along.
all the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
I’ve been for a walk
on a winter’s day
I’d be safe and warm
if I was in L.A
California Dreamin’
on such a winter’s day
stopped into a church
I passed along the way
well, I got down on my knees
and I pretend to pray
you know the preacher likes the cold
he knows I’m gonna stay
California Dreamin’
on such a winter’s day
all the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
I’ve been for a walk
on a winter’s day
if I didn’t tell her
I could leave today
California Dreamin’
on such a winter’s day
