    Official video for "California" for The Lil Smokies. Enjoy!
    Teeth stained red from a dark cabernet
    As I watched the sun fade along Half Moon Bay
    California, still holding your hand
    Farmland, fruit stands, and cows by the sea
    Highway 1 curves around like the rings of a tree
    California, still holding your hand
    Please remember
    Don't you dare forget
    Please remember
    Don't you dare forget
    I can't remember what you even look like
    but I think I may have seen you in a dream last night
    California, still holding your hand
    One too many lead me back on the road,
    it took me four states and one day to drive back home
    California, still holding your hand
    Please remember
    Don't you dare forget
    Please remember
    Don't you dare forget
    Like the orchard and ashes and dust
    trees and leaves are tended 'till the kin rusts
    California, still holding your hand
    Somewhere deep down there I wish you the best
    Inside me somewhere I wish you happiness
    California, still holding your hand
    Please remember
    Don't you dare forget
    Please remember
    Don't you dare forget

    Montana band plays song about my home state. THIS is why the music of the USA is the best. We may be fighting like crazy on the national level but music will always unite us as a country. It is one the things the USA got right over the last 100 plus years.

    I hate California but I love bluegrass. Such a contradiction. Why does California have to ruin America? Why does bluegrass gave to be such beautiful music?

      Keith Rose if you’ve spent any real time in California then this statement means you hate the world. It has a bit of everything, all walks of life. Stop the hating...

    This is a fine piece with strong bluegrass feels. The rhythm is great, the fiddle and dobro blend wonderfully, and the main vocals are good. But the whole thing lacks energy. The banjo player looks like he's played through this a million times, while the bassist and guitarist are barely moving. And it all feels very formal. The voice needs more pain, more rasp, more emotion, and the backing vocals are just lacking. Harmonics make and break bluegrass: either have a strong soaring falsetto, a crisp alto and possibly a bass; or have none at all. In contrast to the energyless backing, the voice resembles someone singing karaoke. Just my opinion and I'm no expert, but a fantastic piece nonetheless. :)

    • @elladiaz7862
      @elladiaz7862 6 лет назад

      I disagree on the voice. The song is detached and clear because it is about missing a home place. A region. It works for me--in-between nostalgia and pain.

    • @dcx3630

      This is mostly because they are using a shotgun mic for all of them. If they were mic'd up better you would be able to hear the vocals more.
