this song feels huge and intimate at the same time. that's quite a feat.

OMG, if you made a video to a Best Coast song, I could die happy! Love your work!

The restaurant I worked at played this on their soundtrack and for years I’ve wondered who sings this. Literally four years of trying to shazam this song but every time it came on I’d have a new table to greet. One day after a long day after driving home I was about to park and exit the car when it came on the radio. I sat in the dark late at night, shazamed it and felt finally at peace. So happy I could die..

[@Pete_Finch]

Some of my favorite memories came from working at Hollister in the early/mid 2010s with all the friends I made/great times we had. This song was on the last soundtrack before I quit to leave for dental school, and now I'd give anything to go back to those days. Doubly true when I listen to this song

If you're in California, I highly suggest that you go out at night (preferably your yard, porch or rooftop), sit somewhere that's nice, calm and quiet and listen to this song. It's fucking magical, I can't even put it into words. I miss California so much, best state of them all

[@inviceptor7602]

Hello. I'm not from CA but I have visited several times. It's an amazing place. :-)

[@jsurges1]

Soothing sixties vibe that transports me back to the sensual memories from a moment in time when things were much more simple than today. Perhaps it was the rose colored glasses we wore, the unmodified food, the escape time in the spirit of the outdoors, the idealism of our 20's, the adventure of freely exploring our path, the pull towards hope....... Thank You!!!!!!

[@jsurges1]

That was not John Surges. It is Laura Hellman on his computer.Sorry John.

[@iGuysCOMEDY]

Definitely the drugs

[@RhiannonZRock]

I was stationed in San Diego for 3.5 Years on the USS Ranger. This song makes me think about Mission Beach at midnight, the smell of Square Pan Pizza coming down the street meeting the smell of good weed coming up from the ocean and being caught in between with love in my heart and a dream in my hand..., I have been where this song comes from and I wish I could go back..., It was a real dream that made me live and live so wonderfully away from my ship and the hard times there.

[@korrupt93]

nice moment :)

[@chosen_remnant]

Thank you for the blood, sweat, and tears you shed for us back home.

[@greentubes1]

I've lived in California my whole life, and this is my favorite song about my home state ever. Yes, Going to California by Zep is great, but this captures what California means to me, it captures some impossible to explain essence. This is California.

[@johnanderson3530]

Give this a listen. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nandfpV3grRqac0 Another great song about California

[@PeteR-et1de]

Back in 2015, on a road trip driving from San Francisco back to Lakewood California, it was around 3 in the afternoon, driving through an area with hills, vines, farms, and similar to the video, this song comes on XM ALT station, just an overwhelming feeling of bliss…

[@wolfgang6442]

Wow☆♡

[@Kelaguen123]

I got feelings for your comment. No other words I’m happy I can relate to other people coming back here to explain a similar time to the memories they shared this song too

[@paula.m.4996]

I lived in California all my life and never left the state until about 3 weeks ago when I hopped on a plane kinda on a whim and moved out to a different state. I miss so much about California. Listening to this on a night drive on the 5 freeway and staring at the sky, ocean and buildings. I miss it there. I'll come back someday.

[@jonnyrollins]

Her voice gives me the chills.

[@valeriereyes5552]

Snacks makes a cameo! This is such a dreamy song. I was able to see Beth and Bob at Pappy & Harriet's this last weekend and they were amazing. The performed this song along with about 3 others from the new album and they sound amazing! Didn't get a chance to meet Bethany, but I've met Bob a few times and he really is the nicest guy ever. Love Best Coast FOREVER!

[@funkymonk816]

Really loving this song both lyrically and musically. After moving to California last year, one of the things I love most about this state is taking in the gorgeous sunsets.

[@chunkymonkeyisspunky]

no offense to best coast but what is there to like lyrically? dont get offensive im genuinely curious

[@funkymonk816]

chunkymonkeyisspunky no I'm not saying the lyrics are super meaningful or anything I'm just saying I can relate to them because I live in LA and California nights/sunsets are actually amazing, both when high and sober

[@Sahadi420]

The line “I stay high all the time just to get by” is the story of my life. Oh how a horrible childhood can destroy your life.

[@inviceptor7602]

'California Nights' is an absolutely beautiful dreamy song which showcases the talent of Best Coast. The cinematography in this video is also well done.

[@Zonday88]

somehow joyful, uplifting yet the lead melody is euphoric & melancholy. very peculiar mix that all works together. I feel tears of happiness when i listen to this.

I finally found this song! When it came out KCRW in Los Angeles would play it and will transport me, I was living by the beach in Marina del Rey/Venice and had many years of magical moments with my ex-wife there. I loved her and this song so much, that I wanted to make a music video for it, and I started actually doing the shots. Some of them when filming drones just came out. One day I will finish it and post it. Thank you for the great memories and tunes. Love you.

What songs would you recommend as a starting point for Slowdive? Always keen to check out bands I haven't heard yet. Cheers.

[@luck3810]

Huw Guyver Try Altogether, 40 Days, Alison & Blue Skied an' Clear, but I suggest just listening to one of their albums all the way through. Also you should check out the song 'Hare Tarot Lies' by No Joy if you like this particular Best Coast song.

[@huwguyver4208]

Cool, thanks. I'll check it out!

Cali has its share of issues and isn't perfect, literally like every other state and country. But I'll always be thankful that I both grew up, and continue to live, here. From deep south San Diego to NorCal to Eureka. I love this anthem to the state for those of us who love it.

[@justinry72]

Amazingly, this song captures the feeling i had living in Cali. I moved to the bay area in the late 90's and I just remember the warm nights, the sweet scents, and the great people.

This is what I listened to when leaving texas after we sold our home and headed west to WA state. Best times. Now it sucks but looking back it was the good days. Will relive these again.

California nights Make me feel so happy I could die But I try to stay alive I never wanna get so high That I can't come back down to real life And look you in the eyes and say "Baby, you are mine" I never wanna get so high That I can't come back down to real life And look you in the eyes and say "Baby you, oh baby you, you are mine“
