California Dreamin'
DJ Sammy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 liked the cold
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
California dreamin' on such a winter's
California dreamin' on such a winter's
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
If I didn't tell her I could leave today
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
California dreamin' on such a winter's
California dreamin' on such a winter's
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
On such a winter's day
California dreamin' on such a winter's
California dreamin' on such a winter's
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
DJ Sammy's song "California Dreamin'" is a cover of the 1965 hit single by The Mamas & The Papas. The lyrics tell the story of someone stuck in the winter cold, longing for the warmth and sunshine of California. "All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray" setting the scene of cold, dreary weather. The singer is wishing to be in L.A where he'd be "safe and warm" from the biting winter conditions. As he's walking, he stops by a church to pray and finds comfort in the thought of staying in California, despite the preacher liking the cold. In the second verse, he repeats his longing for California, imagining leaving that very day.
The lyrics of this song have a melancholic tone that really captures the feeling of being trapped in a bad weather daydream. It's about wanting to escape from cold, winter weather and finding refuge in the warmth of California. The song has a catchy beat with a mix of guitars and electro-pop, and the repetition of the chorus emphasizes the hypnotic quality of the lyrics. It's a song that has been enjoyed by generations of music lovers and continues to inspire new covers and remixes.
Line by Line Meaning
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
The environment is dull and lifeless, and so is the mood of the singer
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
The singer has taken a walk, maybe to feel rejuvenated
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
Los Angeles is seen as a place where the singer would feel secure and comfortable
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
The idea of escaping to California is being dreamt about on a winter's day
Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
The singer has made a stop at a church while on the walk
Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
The singer kneels down and feigns prayer for some reason
You know the preacher liked the cold
The singer assumes that the preacher enjoys the winter weather
He knows I'm gonna stay
The singer intends to remain in California
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
The idea of escaping to California is being dreamt about on a winter's day
If I didn't tell her I could leave today
The singer is possibly in a relationship, and contemplating leaving without telling his partner
