Concerning the viral video success of 'Bombs (The Ron Paul Song)' GOLDEN STATE had this to say, “Thank you to the fans and Ron Paul 2012 supporters out there. The response has been overwhelming. Everyone is asking when we will be putting the ‘Bombs’ song out on iTunes, and the reason we’ve been holding back is we’d like to work with the Ron Paul crew to officially put it out so that the proceeds can go to his campaign.” (http://itunesbomb.com)

Powered by Ron Paul supporters and Revolution Super PAC, they bring you the Ron Paul iTunes Bomb this December 16-25, 2011. The goal is to get to get 'Bombs' to #1 on iTunes; with proceeds going to the Revolution Super PAC and awareness to Ron Paul 2012.

Their original music has been on TV shows (Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch, ABC's Castle), commercials (Apple's iPad) and films (Dolphin Tale, Henry Poole is Here, Fame).

Rising from the ashes of Paloalto, Golden State languished in relative obscurity while waiting for the rest of the music world to play catch-up, creating one of the most complex and rewarding bodies of work in modern rock & roll long before most listeners even learned of the group's existence.

Now, they have garnered the respect of the likes of ELTON JOHN, BONO and SCOTT WIELAND (who on his latest solo album covered Paloalto's "Some Things Must Go This Way").

With a knack for big, melodic hooks, they turn catchy numbers into sweeping, sprawling epic rockers--sharing the stage with everyone from THE BRAVERY to the THE STONE TEMPLE PILOTS. And sharing the studio with not one, but two grammy-winning producers: RICK RUBIN and JOHN SHANKS (a collaboration that brought about the crossover hit, "Even If You Can't See Me").

Raising the bar with a gigantic sound that knows no boundaries…this is GOLDEN STATE.

Golden State is ELIAS REIDY bassist, JAMES GRUNDLER, lead singer, MARC BOGGIO lead guitarist, and drummer FERNANDO SANCHEZ.

Take Me Home
Golden State Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

How can I just let you walk away,
Just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave?
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain

And even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
Well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now

Well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's what I've got to face, oh

I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
Well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face

Take a look at me now
Well there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do
And that's what I've got to face

Take a good look at me now
'Cause I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against the odds

And it's what I've got to face
Take a look at me now
