Lyrics
Californian Light Show me your Love Californian Light Yeah Im not feeling to well I should take my time like my mother taught me so well But I'm grieving, cos I'm leaving a feeling so deep alone And I'm sleeping as I walk the streets of where I call home There's many times where I've been Close, but no cigars there I never loved to love, as much as you loved to cry So why does it feel it's all I'm doing all the time Yeah it might be the way that I see it all I tried to be the one, but it's easy now to see you around The vision was always wrong Like the light that made us run In California I can’t afford to, make you mine But baby I still make you cry Show me your Love Californian Light Yeah I hear you're doing pretty well So I try and put you on the shelf But I didn’t get high to feel this strange But I knew it had gone Another cliché is how I’ve been I'm glad that no one really cares I never learnt to love as well as I could tell a lie So now I'm wondering what I'm telling myself now Yeah it might be the way that I see it all I tried to be the one, but it's easy now to see you around The vision was always wrong Like the light that made us run In California I can’t afford to, make you love Yeah it might be the way that I see it all I tried to be the one, but it's easy now I can see you now The vision was always wrong Like the light that made us run In California I can’t afford to, make you mine I can’t, I can’t Baby I can’t see you cry

[@andrewderby9095]

I'm not sure why these guys are not in the public eye as it goes.Both of their albums are genius.

[@richardtymkiw4691]

the delfonics, chi-lites, bloodstone...and now after so many years..a talented band cast in the same mould; groovy, joyful and so uplifting ...! Wonderful.

[@philcooper3815]

This is SOUL music!!!! Amazing!!!

[@ninaHnotmhzone]

Yes from 2020

[@phoule76]

I love these images of California in the video.

[@cb8663]

It's not Cali

[@davemcdave99]

C B was a joke mate

[@spacespace764]

...heard this morning on BBC 6 Music. Great sound. Summers here.

[@akanaistyping]

where have you been all my life. this is exactly what i need right now. wow.

[@TheGranstaffs]

Instant Classic! This song will span decades - Peace

[@maxbortnick5058]

John Granstaff no it wont

[@TheGranstaffs]

I guess time will tell mate. But it’s rare in this day and age for a song to have the kind of balance of grove and melody infused with song lyrics that seem to page homage to the artists roots. A throwback to the classic soul songs of yesteryear mixed with a little of today’s sound. So for me, this song has the ingredients of staying power. Though it may never go mainstream, I see it being appreciated by people who can understand the aforementioned and respect what’s needed to be a classic. But yeah, great story bro...

[@Y0utubeIsFuckingHomo]

Music like this only goes mainstream when it's in a commercial or some shit. Like Tame Impala, they don't make mainstream music at all, but before they were in the bud light commercial, only like indie heads and lsd users knew them, but now everyone loves them. Most of this shit is luck/chance.

[@jimpowellsays]

This song is an instant classic; a true earworm. Saw them last night at The Ivy House in London. Great new sound & superb gig. #Gowiththefro

[@kakakskwodmcm]

[@tokyovideo1970]

Can't get enough of this song. Perplexing because I was expecting a video shot in Cali, or perhaps I should actually read the lyrics.

[@simone008]

This great band should make more music. Amazing sound

[@YizzHxC]

Muestrame tu amor Luz californiana Sí, no me siento muy bien Debería tomarme mi tiempo como mi madre me enseñó tan bien Pero estoy afligido, porque me estoy dejando un sentimiento tan profundo solo Y estoy durmiendo mientras camino por las calles de donde llamo hogar Hay muchas veces donde he estado Cerca, pero no hay puros allí Nunca me gustó amar, tanto como amar a llorar Entonces, ¿por qué siente que es todo lo que estoy haciendo todo el tiempo? Sí, podría ser la forma en que lo veo todo Traté de ser el único, pero ahora es fácil verte La visión siempre estuvo mal Como la luz que nos hizo correr En California No puedo permitirme, hacerte mía Pero nena todavía te hago llorar Muestrame tu amor Luz californiana Sí, he oído que te está yendo bastante bien Así que trato de ponerte en el estante Pero no me llegué a sentir esto extraño Pero sabía que se había ido Otro cliché es cómo he estado Me alegro de que a nadie realmente le importe Nunca aprendí a amar tan bien como podría decir una mentira Así que ahora me pregunto qué me estoy diciendo a mí mismo ahora Sí, podría ser la forma en que lo veo todo Traté de ser el único, pero es fácil ahora que puedo verte ahora La visión siempre estuvo mal Como la luz que nos hizo correr En California No puedo permitirme, hacerte mía No puedo, no puedo Bebé, no puedo verte llorar🎶

[@dougstanton9816]
