Beach Boys - California Dreaming Lyrics






All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
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 in to 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 gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day yeah
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
California

Beach Boys California Dreaming Comments
  1. E.... P....

    Anyone notice that John Phillips the Priest?

  2. A.... K....

    There was a beach boys song on the juke box, It was California dreamin, So we started screaming , on a winters day, the dead milkmen I bet they would jump up on the table and shout anarchy at such a piss poor version.

  3. L.... 9....

    Oh shit in 2020 this song still forever

  4. M.... A....

    Soy yo o tiene parecido ala canción de Boney m.???

  5. P.... D....

    I LOVE this version, it’s probably the best song The Beach Boys did in the 80s. Like it better than original. Haunting Video. Any chance you could re-post it in a higher quality format? Also, it appears that it’s all the original Boys except Brian. Is this the last time we would see any 4 of The Beach Boys together?

  6. �.... �....

    Да хорошо сказано...бесы из церкви и пусть приход будет для ПРАВОСЛАВНЫХ....
    хорошо поют,наверно там уже не поют....старый клип и очень старый....

  12. P.... F....

    The original beach boys, plus mamas and the papas

  13. M.... V....

    Still one of my faves of all time. Gives me the goose flesh 🦄💪👍😎

  14. L.... ....

    Benny Benassi made his name on this

  15. L.... ....

    Ебать мой хуй! Это же легенда!

  16. N.... a....

    All time my favorite song

  17. T.... ....

    Love the original since I heard it on Lloyd Thaxton's show the first time, but this is decidedly the best rendition.

  18. U.... T....

    I love this song, and now even more since it is sung by the beach boys. Can't wait for thier concert in Tackerville Oklahoma!

  19. M.... S....

    Interesting, the most effervescent song of the 60s turned into an over-produced, bass-heavy march. I no likee...

  20. V.... S....

    California dreaming in my dreams

  21. M.... M....

    I kinda wish The Beach Boys made more music like this

  22. S.... C....

    The priest is John Phillips. But the other two? Is this Michelle Phillips? Is this Denny Doherty? Does anyone know?

    S.... C....

    Yes, it's Michelle Phillips. The other person is Roger McGuinn.

  23. �.... �....

    🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Вот наша юность

  24. �.... �....

    Хуета. Только оригинал.

  25. A.... i....

    Does anyone else wish they could live in simpler eras such as when these songs were released?

  26. G.... R....

    Roger McGuinn on guitar...writer of song John Phillips as preacher and Mama Phillips thrown in.

  27. t.... g....

    Me in October in Halifax Nova Scotia

  28. B.... D....

    I also miss the " if I didn't tell her" line someone else mentioned earlier, but maybe best to leave that to the original.

  29. d.... ....

    прекрасные голоса прошлого!!!

  30. n.... ....

    I see they used the lyric "I *pretend* to pray" as originally written.

    n.... ....

    Grammatically it should be “pretended”.

  31. O.... S....

    daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

  32. S.... ....

    Grew up with the original version - but also loved this punched-up version with the great bass tones and drums. And you can't go wrong with a Roger McGuinn guitar solo in the mix.

  33. K.... M....

    Love the Original, but The Beach Boys do a great cover here. Papa John Phillips as The Preacher in the Video. Roger McGuinn on the 12 string guitar, and Michele Phillips as The Bride.

  34. S.... A....

    Nothing compared to these days songs. I would trade this band back.

  35. A.... Z....

    *Excellent song, but the original cannot be replaced though*

  36. C.... J....

    John Stamos is on the drums.

  37. n.... w....

    How many version does this song have !Which one is the original?

  38. f.... p....

    I think this version is superior to the original version anyone who thinks the original version this version blows the socks off the original version.

  39. D.... D....

    2019 anyone?

  40. J.... M....

    Always & Forever

  41. �.... �....

    Brennon Forever. CARL DEAN WILSON.

    L.... M....

    Discovered this track thanks to a friend.

  44. A.... ....

    Hey, pretty good! And more in tune than the original!! (OK, shoot me now . . .)

  45. B.... ....

    While I like the original this is so much better. BUT the video really isn't very good.

  46. v.... ....

    They actually recorded this first in 1983 for The Mike & Dean release for Radio Shack " Rock & Roll City " They didn't even have a recording contract at the time

  47. M.... P....

    Mola molt la canço. Great

  48. A.... F....

    It was California Dreamin' so we starting screamin'!!!

  49. �.... �....

    Группа "Орлы" начинает петь эту песню, она о мечтах и бреднях, что есть среди калифорницев, там вообще история о том как шёл и остановился у церкви. Место очень светлое и озарено солнцем и небо голубое. В общем перевод песни занимателен, кто хочет, тот может его найти я уже не помню, но читал а инглиш плохо знаю и так на слух не всё переведу, но вы удивитесь если прочтёте перевод этой песни. И вот прошло много лет и вдруг врываются пляжные мальчишки с этой старой песенкой, и звучит резко она и пронзительно. А раньше Бич Бойс, что значит пляжные мальчики пели свинг танцевальный и легкомысленные песенки о летних каникулах для школьников...

  50. S.... P....

    What with these russians

  51. c.... ....

    Jim McQuinn added a fantastic lead break on his famous Rickenbacker 12 string guitar.
    Roger in today’s world, but I still remember him as Jim McQuinn of the Byrds. .

    c.... ....

    Who is on Sax?

  52. N.... G....

    ~The best music:*..2k19<< CX707...

  53. D.... T....

    Brian Wilson's presence in this video is haunting

  54. b.... ....

    This is the "original" version/mix by the Beach Boys, from their 1986 album MADE IN U.S.A. For some reason, there's a very different mix, with wind and thunder at the beginning, that turned up on the 2007 compilation "The Warmth Of The Sun" and is also on the 2012 box "Made In California". The original LP, CD, and 7" vinyl single of this song is the version heard in this video.

    Always wondered why everyone sings about California till I went to Vacaville. 5 years later and I'm still California dreamin'!

  80. R.... D....

    A number of years ago, when I was 17 I hitch-hiked from a small town in Manitoba Canada called Minnedosa to Los Angeles on a dare. Despite being almost murdered on the way, I got out of the hospital, where I celebrated my 18th birthday! (The head nurse even bought me a pizza!), and I was determined to make it. I was blessed enough to run into some 'good people' and I stayed in North Hollywood with them. On the first day that I was alone there, I put the stereo on and the radio was playing this song!

    I just got chills. Here I was a good 25 hundred miles from the small town I grew up in and was actually in "Tinsel Town!:'' I can't describe the feeling other than as a 'dream' that came over me! But despite the fact that I've done a lot of acting, I missed the perfect real "Mayberry" classic town in a valley called Minnedosa. God is there, not in Hollywood... So I went back, no regrets so that was my "California Dreaming..."

  81. s.... j....

    THE ABSOLUTELY COOLEST VIDEO OF ALL TIME. PERIOD
