California by Farrell Jackson lyrics/vocals. Music by Redler

[Redler]

Hi all!

Farrell did amazing work with the backer (Ballad/folk song needs lyrics and vocals) I posted on the Collaboration board in June. Thank you Farrell!

Earlier, Trevor (thetworegs) and Hook did their versions. I like all of them! It's so fine the see (hear) how many ways the same music can be sung!

Have I ever mentioned; I love this site 

California

California in the spring time
A beautiful place to be
Almond blossoms on the skyline
As far as the eye can see

At this moment in time
No better place to be
The bee's are buzzin', birds are singing
Songs of harmony

Ooooooooo....oooooooo
Ooooooooo.....oooooooo

The green has replaced the brown
What a wonderful surprise
To see the flowers, in the morning hours
New life is on the rise

Humming birds at the feeders
Humming a happy song
That makes me day dream
All the day long

Ooooo....oooo
Oooo.....oooo

I was born here, probably die here
But I'll leave no regrets
I'll enjoy the spot where I was planted
And hope no one forgets

California in the spring time
A beautiful place to be
Almond blossoms on the skyline
As far as the eye can see

At this moment in time
No better place to be
The bee's are buzzin', birds are singing
Songs of harmony

Ooooooooo....oooooooo
Ooooooooo.....oooooooo

I was born here, probably die here
But I'll leave no regrets
I'll enjoy the spot where I'll be planted
And hope no one forgets

Excellent vocal Farrell and great lyrics love the oohs and the harmonies it has a totally different feel to the one I did with Kari California certainly sounds like it comes to life in spring time, and let's hope it's a while before your planted there ... gentle and beautiful... an excellent  collab

[Hook]

Really beautiful, that harmony vocal really hit me.
rock on!

Chaps, what a great effort by all involved. Vocal work is brilliant, suits it to a tee. This is giving me some early acoustic Led Zeppelin vibes. A bit mysterious and mournful, but lovely. Great work guys.

First off, love this collab! The vocals and harmonies work great with Kari's awesome composition. It sounds great, I love it!

I'm assuming we may have had more time zones of collab distance, but what about linear distance - Is this the longest? What do you think?

Very cool guys!
