@@dattebayossadfry5919 well the more you live the more you learn! 😜 There are actually a lot of older songs that have been remade and reused in more recent songs. The 80’s definitely had a lot of awesome music too!😍
That’s because it’s always been cold, since 1945. The Soviet Union might’ve been dissolved in 1991 but years since we’ve been engaged in different proxy conflicts indirectly with its successor with the only known direct encounter happening at the battle of khasham. The media might’ve stopped making everyone fear for their lives but we’re still one bad geopolitical decision away from it turning hot
In all seriousness, this song really feels like such a beautiful mixture of nostalgia, melancholy, hope and despair all at once! It’s simultaneously hopeful, and hopeless but still with a faint light at the end of the tunnel that represents almost any current situation! It’s genuinely haunting and thought provoking and like a lot of great songs, incredibly relevant no matter what time/era/decade/ whatever it is! In this case, with all the stuff going on in both entertainment and tech, it really feels like this song resonates with the atmosphere of all that stuff! (And not just because of the name “California”)
Wow I came here bc of a meme I saw and this is the first time I’ve ever heard this song and someone I feel so much nostalgia melancholy hope and despair
I remember going in the backseat of our old car while it was raining outside, while my parents put this song on. Quite the memories and good way to raise me into the music
@@UshankadMenace-ti9xi I mean Life is like that, right now we live in a moment o our lives we see as normal and possibly boring at some parts, maybe even ignoring the wonders that happen around us. But then, many years later we will remember these years with nostalgia and we will wish that we were able to go back in time.
I imagine Michelle Philips, the only band member who is still alive, seeing their song getting recognition again while remembering about the good old days. Must be wholesome and painful at the same time...
Born and raised in Southern California 1958. I moved to Kansas 4months ago for a few reasons. Guess what? I’m heading back to my state within the next few months. What I was fleeing I will deal with. Like Dorothy; there’s no place like home. 🙏🏼💕
My son and his beautiful girlfriend are moving back to California from Portland,OR. And this song took back back to Laguna Niguel where he was born,so I only wish to them bendiciones hijos. Everything is going to be ok.
Dang California and Oregon? They must be cooked mentally and spiritually. I also will pray that God blesses them and shields them from the evil that's festering in those places.
Great job overall. Clear lyrics, good spacing and timing, and a readable font style and size. One thing, though, the line is "the preacher lights the coal", not "likes the cold". In other words, he puts coal into the coal-burning heater because he knows this guy is gonna stay in the church awhile to get warm. Back in the old days people burnt coal in furnaces for heat.
I mean both work, if the church is warm because of coal heater he's gonna stay in. If it's really col outside, hes gonna stay inside a fairly warm building
If there was ever a song to transport you back faster than a Time Machine, this is it! I remember when this came out, seems like yesterday!💖 To the days we thought would last forever!!!💕
@@jacquelinelopez929 Isn't it amazing how music is timeless, regardless how many years have passed, it always brings you back to a time when we were younger and innocent!!! Don't ever let that go, I think this generation will never look back as we do, to a more innocent era!!
This song gives me a sense of freedom, but also a lonely emptiness. As if... something's missing. Nostalgic but melancholic at the same time. It warms my heart, but it also hurts my soul and causes me some sadness.
As someone who was born in 2006,60s music is actually KILLING IT!!!I mean you can't dislike this,or Animals' or Kansas' music,they give me the special feeling I really can't describe by words...
Amazing how every word fits my life like a carbon copy with the song. All I know is we must leave our country better then when we came. Love you the mamas and the papas.
This literally happened to me! But when I got down on my knees I was not pretending to pray and got miraculously saved! Born Again! HALLELUYAH!! It can happen to you.
When he sings "stopped into a church, i passed along the way" it can faintly hear the girls repeat the lyrics, i asume they're removed from the final master
I love this song and this song is on RUclips has a solo instrumental guitar piece. I’m going to learn how to play it. It is truly beautiful. I grew up, listening to the mamas and Papas and Peter Paul and Mary. Why what great singers and songwriters we had back then. Thanks for the video.👍🏼😁🎸😎
I was a med student in Cleveland and this song came on while driving to the airport to fly to Santa Barbara to visit my girlfriends mom and it was cold and grey perfect song then and now!!
Here in 2022 and the original is still just as good as when it was released in 1965! Timeless😍🤩
Absolutely my dear!!!💖

i really love the uncanny unsettling eerie vibes this song is giving
Eerie and great at the same time because of the bewitching magik on the production
first time I heard this, it was played over footage of the war in Afganistan. it was, well, eerie
the people who died and fought for a lie in iraq

Oh, this song brings back SO many memories from decades long gone. 🙋♀️🕊
These songs pass the test of time because they generously give emotions and feelings to the mind and soul.
So many years have passed and yet whenever hear this song, unusual feelings and all the memories flashing in my mind..

No place like cali. This is my home. Where I’m from. Where I’m staying.
Yes come back and help make California great again!! Welcome back Rebecca.
Έχουν περάσει 60 χρόνια και ακόμη ακούγεται αυτό το μελωδικό τραγούδι. Μου αρέσει πολύ να το ακούω!!! Είναι διαχρονικό. I love it!! ❤️❤️❤️

Original words were, I began to pray NOT I pretend to pray
That makes more sense
I'm old enough and ugly enough to remember this song back in 1965. It was a great song back then but even today - fabulous!!!
You said it!
Lol I was 2 in 65 , but as teenager I always and still love this song
If there was ever a song to transport you back faster than a Time Machine, this is it! I remember when this came out, seems like yesterday!💖

This song just makes life feel... different and not real but so happy and peaceful at the same time.

I'm looking at the gray sky in Ireland now. I wish I were in Cali, where the real home is.
In God, we trust!
That’s why I love music
Happiness, sadness, hope, disparity, scary , melancholy all at the same time. It's very telling of the 60's and telling of today.
November 2024??
The feeling you get when you listen to the song is peace of mind, body, and soul .
