In California Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Purrty 

Cover art for In California lyrics by Neko Case

Another of my favourites, even if this "going to California/Other Big Place to make it as an artist" theme has never appealed to me at all. I like how she sings it -- sort of cutting she sounds short, and with that echo. She sounds exactly right, kind of sad and disillusioned but not totally desperate yet.

"Palm trees are laughing at me" -- makes me smile, such lovely cynical mirth.
