Seekers, The - California Dreamin' Lyrics






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 him I could leave today
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
Oh 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
I'd be safe and warm if I was in LA
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
Oh I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold well he knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

On such a winter's day
On such a winter's day
On such a winter's day
On such a winter's day

  3. O.... S....

    great interpatation to great song.their harmony is almost non compatable

  4. M.... ....

    Hey, this is a Mama’s & Papa’s song 😄

  5. R.... T....

    Even economy class had decent seat spacing in the 707. I still have my Qantas Junior V Jet club booklet. Boeing 707 VH- EBP Alice Springs 20 hrs 45 minutes flying time London to Perth with four stops.

  6. L.... L....

    I prefer the original is more beautiful😠

  7. T.... G....

    Gorgeous singing.

  13. g.... b....

    California Nightmare! Never in my wildest dreams, that I would see California ruin itself, and all it took was a few years. Being from Bama; it saddens all of us.

    g.... b....

    Yes, Bama is so much better. California, 5th strongest economy in the world. Alabama last in toothbrush sales...

    g.... b....

    Javier Guzman At least it’s illegal to Shit in Alabama! We don’t have poop squads! Gas is $2.50, and the housing isn’t that bad; nor the traffic.

  14. B.... G....

    Как будто жилы через задницу у неё тянули.

    B.... G....

    Ебать у дурачка фантазии😂

  15. c.... c....

    Perfect lady,no drugs or tats or bad behaviour...wonderful voice...attractive...

  16. m.... k....

    1st view in 2020?

  17. M.... G....

    No hay ningún latino por aquí?

  18. P.... P....

    I actually prefer the Mama's & Papa's version better but look at those airplane seats!

  19. T.... P....

    This version sucks. Very bad.

  20. �.... �....

    Как вам повезло что вы живёте в такой стране как Америка.Я тоже мечтаю о Колифорнии

  21. S.... ....

    Read the comments and you feel she sang this as a commercial for some airlines.

  22. R.... L....

    Фильм у нас в прокате «Тихая прохлада»! Боевик. Парень слушал постоянно!

  23. J.... C....

    Is that wall paper 😆😆😆😆

  24. R.... ....

    meals served on a tray with real glasses salt n pepper really civilized

  25. M.... R....

    Took my first flight in 1966, took less than an hour.  With all the modern technology and computers the same flight now takes 1 hour 15 minutes.  Its like the book 1984, we keep going backwards and yet we are sold propaganda that things are getting better.

  26. A.... P....

    Música de Manteiga Margarina kkkkkk

  27. S.... R....

    The year I was born.

  28. o.... n....

    This song is so much connected to the Mamas and the Papas, like "Yesterday" to the Beatles, or "Satisfaction" to the Rolling Stones, that whatever efford you put in your cover version , it will NEVER be better than the original one...

    o.... n....

    True. ...although Roxy Music 's version of Jealous Guy was much better than the original Lennon version sorry to say

    o.... n....

    But this one did though, dare i say almost better

    o.... n....

    @Frederick Hashbury I understand what you mean. Judith Durham is a better singer, but this song BELONGS to the Mama's and the Papa's. And the flute part is also essential for the song. There are better singers than Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney ( Steve Perry, Miklosko Matthyevic, Steve Lee, Don Dokken, Robin Gibb, David Byron) but Satifaction will always belong to the Rolling Stones and Yesterday to the Beatles, or Imagine to John Lennon. Happy New Year to you

  29. R.... N....

    Какие были мелодии ,красивые стихи! 1966 год...

  30. u.... ....

    Back when planes had wallpaper.

  31. �.... �....

    Боинг707-очень красивый авиалайнер,а песня так себе!

  32. P.... J....

    Wasn't this song called Leaving on a Jet Plane

    P.... J....

    That was John Denver wasn't it?

  33. �.... �....

    А я думал, что эту песнь Бич бойс написали...

  34. r.... n....

    the only California dreaming going on how do a get the fuck out of this shit hole

  35. W.... R....

    One wonders how society could function back then without racial diversity, transgenders, and women whining non-stop?

    W.... R....

    Capitalism aided the process, modern world sucks bro

    W.... R....

    @Mr. Anonymous Liberty sucks.

    W.... R....

    Wadel Radel Absolutely. Get women beck in the kitchen, other than to drop babies on demand. How awful it was to give civil rights to people of colour. Oh and how about executing anyone who has “abnormal” sex.
    The good old days of inequality.

    W.... R....

    @Colin Baker , you god damn islamophob!

    W.... R....

    @Colin Baker pretty islamophobic of you, not gonna lie

  36. W.... R....

    not too bad although the mams version is ten times better.

  37. H.... O....

    What a bad song. Depressing

  38. s.... b....

    Ha ha men in drag ....

  39. D.... B....

    You can still dream

  40. S.... ....

    У меня в дремах Калифорня, а не этот злоебучий ссср!

  41. O.... M....

    Filmed at Luton Airport UK

  42. B.... J....

    This feels like they found an old Delta Airlines TV commercial and put the music over it.

  43. V.... S....

    Как же охуенно слушается.Всё,жизнь закончена...

    V.... S....

    покойся с миром.

  44. C.... S....

    They'll play this at Californias funeral. We'll look back to the times when it was a place of dreams with a tear in our eye.

    C.... S....

    It’s still a place of dreams. And beautiful. Been here 55 years and would never live anywhere else!

    C.... S....

    Chris Smith lol the people who are leaving are the ones who can’t hack it. The rest of us are still here living large!

    C.... S....

    Down and out in Paradise Panama living. I’m a real Californian and I’m still here.

    C.... S....

    Down and out in Paradise Panama living. You are confused. Everyone who lived in California in the last 170 years all had roots from somewhere else.
    The state came from gold rush for god sake people cam from all over the world. They are still coming from all over the world. They have always come from all over the world. And they come here to pursue their dreams and through that process they too become
    Californians. Then either stay or move back out into the US to spread the California spirit. It’s a process that’s been going on for almost two centuries.

    C.... S....

    Herrera the truth about the everyone is leaving myth.

    The people who leave in a bad mood are overwhelmingly racist while peolple who can’t handle it when they start having to stand in line at the grocery store next to brown people instead of other white people.

    That is a fact. I know that as a middle aged white guy from California .

    No matter what anyone tells you I promise you that is the real reason. Period.

  45. L.... R....

    Голос красивый.

  46. �.... �....

    Этот вариант тоже очень красивый .))))🤗

  47. c.... ....

    0:41 And that is Economy Class circa the mid-60s. An actual meal and look at those "comfy seats".

  48. M.... I....

    No habia escuchado esta versión. Pero esta muy bien . Felices fiestas de Navidad y feliz año nuevo 2020.

  49. L.... J....

    Such a magical voice

  50. S.... H....

    In German it begins with "Anneliese Braun"

  51. K.... F....

    Мотив из одной очень известной песни)))

  52. J.... n....

    :44 would you care for some lobster and champagne sir?, "naw"

  53. J.... R....

    A refreshing reinterpretation of the classic. Crystal clear vocals and overall clarity yet still conveys the song's wistful theme.

  54. B.... ....

    Better than the original.................................

  55. T.... ....

    Happy days

  56. J.... P....

    F A N TA S T i C ! ! !

  57. A.... A....

    Remember what air travel used to be like?? ... plenty of room, good food, no hassles...

  58. R.... S....

    California is a nightmare now..sad..😢

  59. U.... T....

    Həmisə bu mahnı seslenende ele bilirem yanımdasan eyninde yazılı koftan və sacların bir az uzun bir az havalı biləyində isə baglı bir ip var həmisə o ipin mənasını sorusmag istəmişəm.Əlındə krossvord gazetleri və ya kitab

  60. J.... A....

    Video doesn’t match song .

  61. C.... B....

    Natural Big busty

  62. C.... S....

    Anyone else impressed by how spacious airline seats used to be?

    C.... S....

    @Mitchell C I flew BOAC Comet 4 Sydney to London in 1961. Wish I could remember how many stops we had.

    C.... S....

    @Darryl Guise in theory it could have been done in 4 but the geography of it would be quite messy as to where to refuel/stop economically aswell as ocean, it was usually done in 5-6. The Comet was a beauty, an overpowered plane although earlier ones could reduce stewards to tears due to noise, price paid was worth it, Americans laughed at the idea of a jet engine. Now look!

    C.... S....

    @Mitchell C I know the first stop was Darwin and the last was Geneva. Think we may have stopped in Bangkok and fairly certain of Karachi, but failing memory may have missed a couple of others. Best trip was in a 707 - they served a cooked breakfast!

    C.... S....

    @Darryl Guise thanks for sharing! What are your memories of the Comet? If any.

    C.... S....

    @Mitchell C Not much. We were in 1st class, I was 19 and alcohol was free.

  63. �.... E....

    bonkey dollocks - not really; but in my humble opinion when a simpleton, an ignoramus / someone who’s churlish / obtuse or without wit (yes Ptolemy Jones, in the dictionary they all amount to the same meaning - and I AM using each term correctly) is incapable of deriving the meaning of a simple comment and then indulges in a rather boorish series of counter comments, then really they deserve to be called out for the cretin they are!

  64. M.... W....

    This doesn’t come close to the Mamas and Papas version, which is a total classic

    M.... W....

    Because it’s the Pappas and Momma . Another momma is needed.

    M.... W....

    Bobby Womak owned it the rest just borrowed it.

    M.... W....

    Yeah, totally. This version sounds like some kind of medieval sad song.

  65. P.... K....

    Boring compared to the rather more sophisticate harmonies of the Mamas and the Papas.

  66. B.... H....

    Back when flying was fun. Now peanuts and no service. Flew in 63 Miami to Nassau. Could see many Navy ships near the island. The island was quit remote then. It was a big adventure for I was 6.

  67. T.... J....

    Lovely harmony in the voices is something you don't get much of this day & age

  68. I.... E....

    Is she seating in the toilet?

  69. C.... F....

    What a voice.

  70. J.... M....

    Ultra Low Budget

  71. A.... A....

    so it's on "a winter's day", not "winner's day". hmmm.....

  72. S.... ....

    Only 4 passengers 😨

  73. W.... N....

    Its more like all the shit is brown

  74. J.... S....

    Mamma's and Papa's version was better.

    J.... S....

    Jeong-hun Sin — Sure, but i’m 54 and a year ago I had no idea, really, that the Seekers even existed! I find them fabulous!

    J.... S....

    I agree.

    J.... S....

    You're right. It seems like they played the song just to get their records to sell more. There was no life in that song and the video was just of a pretty girl sitting in an airplane. I don't understand why everyone is saying how great they are. The Seekers had some good songs but is was NOT one of them.

  75. J.... F....

    The clip has been altered. The clip showing a windsurfer included windsurfing gear that was never available in 1966.

    J.... F....

    Does it matter?

    J.... F....

    bonkey dollocks - not really; but in my humble opinion when a simpleton, an ignoramus / someone who’s churlish / obtuse or without wit (yes Ptolemy Jones, in the dictionary they all amount to the same meaning - and I AM using each term correctly) is incapable of deriving the meaning of a simple comment and then indulges in a rather boorish series of counter comments, then really they deserve to be called out for the cretin they are! Nice moniker BtW

    J.... F....

    @Æthelwulf Eoforlic sorry my question was aimed at Mr Jones, not your good self dear boy. Sorry I should have made this more clear

    J.... F....

    bonkey dollocks - My mistake

    J.... F....

    @Æthelwulf Eoforlic say no more, I should clarified to whom it was directed-good day to you sir

  76. u.... ....

    It's okay I guess.

  77. E.... ....

    How California has fallen since then.
    Each and every Democrat State eventually falls. Count on it.

    E.... ....

    Elsa
    You’re an idiot.

    E.... ....

    @Kelly AC . Year after year after year, Democrat leaders have had more than enough time to clean up the poor ghettos in their states. The governors, mayors of these states have done nothing. No changes in those neighborhoods.
    They go from bad to worse.
    So yea, count on it.

    E.... ....

    @Kelly AC . California went from mansions to tent cities. So yea. Democrat states eventually become ghettos.
    I'd rather be stupid than blind and ignorant.

  78. B.... H....

    life before airport jetways

  79. R.... M....

    I'm assuming this was from the glory days before Demonrats took over California.

  80. N.... j....

    2019 look at the GD mess these crooked politicians/presidents put the U.S. in, just sinful what they have done to us. Take care of your families, friends and neighbors. Fuk the TSA.

  81. a.... b....

    The California dream has been ruined by democrats

    a.... b....

    Democrat logic is to destroy, blame the opposition and promise free shit they won't get or atleast make them overly dependent.

  82. K.... ....

    Ironic.
    Back then most people were thin and seats were oversize.
    These days most people are obese yet the seats are ultra narrow.

    K.... ....

    just like parking spaces

    K.... ....

    That is very true!

    K.... ....

    It's all about $$$$.

    K.... ....

    Ya gotta liberal Marxism. Free processed food for everyone

    K.... ....

    @wzrubicon 1 - What scrambled your brain?

  83. c.... s....

    California is fucked......get out soon. Wwg1wga

  84. S.... T....

    Now Kalifornia has become a nightmare. Look at San Angeles and the white flight.

  85. W.... H....

    Nah the original is way better the harmonies made this song

  86. L.... B....

    Judith thought she was over weight...ca you believe that! Gorgeous!

  87. B.... F....

    and the sky is gray...california dream..

  88. S.... D....

    Pretty generic for such a talented voice. Was it set on a plane because John Phillips wrote the song while flying?

  89. c.... ....

    Where would this music video have been seen in 1966?? No MTV, no internet. Was it part of a TV special??

    c.... ....

    Yes, 'World of the Seekers' tv special

  90. J.... H....

    Look at the leg room.

  91. j.... ....

    Great voice. Crappy, uninspired cover.

  92. P.... P....

    Cool, never knew they covered this.

  93. C.... R....

    I prefer the version of The Mama's & Papa's

  94. C.... C....

    she should have sung this in a lower key

  95. B.... F....

    Unfortunately the California dream turned into the ultimate nightmare

  96. V.... C....

    Anyone seeing in 2019???

    V.... C....

    Юля Овчинникова Ему пофиг.

    V.... C....

    yes 28 dec 2019

    V.... C....

    No. I am listening in 2032. You ignorant Fuckbucket!

    V.... C....

    Не, только из 2020 остались.

  97. k.... ....

    the mud tide destroyed that State

    k.... ....

    How white of you to say that...
