California Soul
Marlena Shaw Feat. Ya Boy Lyrics

Like a sound you hear that lingers in your ear
The experience of California soul is unforgettable and leaves a lasting impression on your mind.

But you can't forget from sundown to sunset, no, no
The experience of California soul persists throughout the day and night and always stays with you.

It's all in the air, you hear it everywhere
The energy of California soul is present all around and easily perceptible.

No matter what you do, it's gonna grab a hold on you
You cannot resist the pull and allure of California soul.

California soul
The unique vibe and energy of California that is experienced through music and culture.

They say the sun comes up every morning, aah
California's natural beauty and rhythm are constants that are a part of daily life.

And if you listen oh so carefully
If you pay attention to your surroundings, you can hear the subtle nuances of California soul.

The winds that ride on the high tide
The ocean and its wind, which are so much a part of California's geography, are integral parts of California soul.

Whistles a melody
The wind has an almost musical quality that contributes to California soul.

So the people started to sing
The people of California began to interpret and express California soul through music.

And that's how the surf gave birth I'm told
The birth of California soul can be traced back to the surf culture and its music.

To California soul
California soul is a unique mix of rhythm and sound specific to the state.

And you've got to move 'cause it's really such a groove, nah, aha
The rhythm and beat of California soul is so captivating that you cannot resist getting up and dancing.

Puts a brand new kind of thinkin' in your mind
The experience of California soul opens up new perspectives and ways of thinking.

And you can't go wrong 'cause you're groovin' all day long, aha
The positive vibes of California soul keeps you grooving and in a good mood all day.

California soul, California soul, (soul)
Re-emphasis on the unique and specific nature of California soul, as well as its strong emotional association (soul).

They had the melody and the beat, yo
The core components of California soul were musical elements like melody and rhythm.

But it still didn't seem complete, yes
While the music was good, something was still missing from the California soul experience.

Until they saw two lovers kissin', oh yeah
The missing piece of California soul was emotional connection, which was observed through a romantic moment between two people.

They knew just what was missin'
The people realized the emotional connection they needed was love and added this aspect to the California soul sound.

So happy they were rockin' and reelin
With the addition of the love element, California soul reached its complete and harmonious form, causing people to dance and rejoice.

Because they had added that lovin' feeling
The addition of love brought a novel and positive dimension to California soul.

The complete experience of California soul that includes melody, rhythm, and love.

California soul (but get with it)
Strong encouragement to experience California soul, as it is a truly unique and special sound that is worth the investment of time and attention.

From early in the morning 'til the sun goes down

It's in the air, it's in the air
The California soul vibe is omnipresent and easily perceptible.
