lyrics

^All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
California dreaming on such a winter's day^
All the way and back
Just to see my baby dressed in black.
^All the leaves are brown and the sky is blue
California dreaming such a way from you^
All the way and back
Just to see my baby dressed in black.
^^They say I was born it was a fantastic accident
I fell on the floor
My mother right next to me
The doctor was alarmed
It was the middle of the night
When he came up
I was already.^^
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
California dreaming on such a winter's day^
All the way.
^^^It won't do any good
Won't any good
Won't do any good to my one chrome song.^^^

credits

from References, Reflections: Revelations, track released May 3, 2019
^Exact and/or approximate lines for 'California Dreaming' by The Mamas and The Papas

^^Second verse is a direct qoute of 'Fantastic Accident' by (The) Lesser Men (Noisy Night/MyRoomRecords, 2014) as a reference to Paul singing 'she loves you yeah yeah yeah' at the end of 'All You Need Is Love'

^^^Lines and music from 'One Chord Song' by Casual Elvis (N/A, 2005) with >chord< replaced by >chrome<

/credits + notes/ Playing around with one sole chord and many chromes, ninths and seconds. Mashing up vocal melodies. This turned out to be a prophecy, this birth scene from Fantastic Accident, that's how baby Bo came to be, so it had to be repeated somehow and we did it here, with Brane on drums, Nara on bass, Neven on guitar and LMB on keyboards.
