All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey
I was taken a little 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 kneesand I pretend to pray
You know the preacher lights the coals, 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
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.
Never understood why this girl didn´tt made it, she was so talented, she had a voice that could cut diamonds to pieces, her voice could have moved mountains and rivers...
I think, she made it, as in eternal queen of excellence - perfection - vocal majesty and inflections
This is genuine talent - without the ego - or super fame.
Perhaps she is a performers gifted performer.
Until now, I was unaware of Melanie performing this song, also a lifetime favorite of mine (with gratitude also, of course, to The Mamas and the Papas. I grew up with you guys...)!
Thanks for the your effort, Eduardo.
As far as I'm concerned she's every bit as good as Janis! Her style is haunting and true craftsmanship. No matter whose song she's singing she makes it her own! I truly think she was ahead of her time and I go down memory lane every time I hear her amazing voice! She is a true legend!!
Melanie, I hope this comment reaches you. Your vocals are amazing. Your interpretation of CD succeeds the original by far.
It's not only a comment to the 60's era but also a piece of art in its own. Thank you very much.
I am an admirer of Melanie since my teen age, first tune I heard of her I hear was "Bobo's Party" , still have the vinyl single and lot of LP vinyl. She is not so well known in France, only with "Oh Happy Days" and " Look what they done to my song" ....This is really a pity, I bought her last CD's directly from USA, because impossible to find it in France. I like her for now 50 years and I will like her till the end.
