Melissa Etheridge – California
life, song, youtube May 7th, 2008OK, I have not posted anything for almost a week. I was quite busy with work thingy and sometimes not enough sleep but otherwise I’m OK.
Anyway, I always hear this song played at Light & Easy channel while I’m driving for sometimes. I’ve been searching for it but fail since I don’t know what the title is and who the singer is. My colleague even said the singer is a guy… ha ha ha… he is wrong then… OK I found it at last… enjoy it…
Raised up on mid-western dreams
Only a few shall get
What everyone shall need
I took my family’s burden
Strapped it to my chest
A few hundred bucks,
And a kiss for luck
And I pointed my dreams west
To California
Come rescue me
California
I am almost free
I kept on driving to the setting sun
Galaxies of angels
Welcome everyone
I took my heart out of its box
Attached it to my sleeve
Well, I will be here every night
Because that’s what I believe
In California
Come rescue me
California
I am almost free
I will find my love
I will know my peace
I will seek my truth
I am almost free
I am almost free…
I am almost free
I am almost free
I am almost free
In California
I am almost free
In California
I am almost free
(Rescue me)
California
I am almost free

I’ve heard of Ms Etheridge for a long time but her music has always been under my radar. Only just now did I know that she’s gone multiplatinum at least 3 times. And that “California” is the 2nd single off her latest album. As a self-confessed music junkie, I’ve got to give my frank assessment: the verse sounds ordinary, the hook of the chorus is quite strong, it would be asking too much for this song to make it big.
wah… you dig her so fast… I like the chorus and of course the ‘FREE’ thingy… 😀
