Going to California

I was born in Bermuda, grew up on the east coast, and now I live in California. It wasn’t an easy transition to make, leaving all of my friends, family, and band-mates past and present, but it was completely worth it. I’ve grown more in the past two years than any point in my life. I’ve met so many amazing and talented people out here. None of this would have happened if I had just accepted my situation and disregarded the urge to change my life for the better. This is what the song “Going to California“  is about to me.

Led Zeppelin – “Going to California“

Lyrics:

Spent my days with a woman unkind, Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start, Going To California with an aching in my heart.
Someone told me there’s a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane, never let them tell you that they’all are the same.
The sea was red and the sky was grey,I wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
as the children of the sun began to awake.

Seems that the wrath of the Gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
I think I might be sinking.
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I’ll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.

To find a queen without a king,
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings… la la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin’ to find a woman who’s never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it’s not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.
