"California Dreamin'" is a song written by John Phillips and Michelle Phillips and was first recorded by Barry McGuire. However, the best known version is by The Mamas & the Papas, who sang backup on the original version and released as a single in 1965. The song is #89 in Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The lyrics of the song express the narrator's longing for the warmth of Los Angeles during a cold winter in New York City.
The song became a signpost of the California Myth and the arrival of the nascent counterculture era.
"California Dreamin' " was certified as a Gold Record (single) by the RIAA in June 1966 and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001.
The song was written in 1963 while John Phillips and Michelle Phillips were living in New York. He dreamed about the song and woke her up to help him write it. Michelle Phillips enjoyed visiting churches, and she and John Phillips visited St. Patrick's Cathedral, which inspired the second verse of California Dreamin’ ("Stopped into a church..."). John hated the verse, as he was turned off to churches by unpleasant memories of parochial school, but he couldn't think of anything better so he left it in. At the time, John and Michelle Phillips were members of the folk group "The New Journeymen", which evolved into The Mamas & the Papas.
California (i/ˌkælᵻˈfɔːrnjə/ KAL-ə-FORN-yə, /ˌkælᵻˈfɔːrniə/ KAL-ə-FAWR-nee-ə) is a state located on the West Coast of the United States. It is the most populous U.S. state, with 39 million people, and the third largest state by area (after Alaska and Texas). California is bordered by Oregon to the north, Nevada to the east, Arizona to the southeast, and the Mexican state of Baja California to the south. It contains the nation's second most populous census statistical area (Greater Los Angeles Area) and the fifth most populous (San Francisco Bay Area), and eight of the nation's 50 most populated cities (Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Fresno, Sacramento, Long Beach, and Oakland). Sacramento has been the state capital since 1854.
What is now California was first settled by various Native American tribes before being explored by a number of European expeditions during the 16th and 17th centuries. It was then claimed by the Spanish Empire as part of Alta California in the larger territory of New Spain. Alta California became a part of Mexico in 1821 following its successful war for independence, but was ceded to the United States in 1848 after the Mexican–American War. The western portion of Alta California was organized as the State of California, which was admitted as the 31st state on September 9, 1850. The California Gold Rush starting in 1848 led to dramatic social and demographic change, with large-scale immigration from the east and abroad with an accompanying economic boom.

92 DREAMIN directed by Mikhael Villegas and Escarla Abreu "In a parallel universe outside the realm of reality lies the home to all imagination. A place made entirely of skateboard dreams. Where linear fluid existence is disrupted by chaos and creativity. Where digital meets analog. A lawless limitless frontier." 92 DREAMIN incorporates live action with 3D and VFX. With this project we hope to disrupt the linear fluidity expected in most video media. To incorporate multiple mediums and experimental methods into one. As artists we draw inspiration from the irregularity in our everyday lives and have manifested that sense of uneasiness in our piece. Thank you to everyone that helped make this film an idea to reality. ~CREDITS~ Directors // Mikhael Villegas, Escarla Abreu Producer // Juli...

Arc’teryx Athletes Jason Kruk and Marc-Andre Leclerc travel from Squamish, Canada to El Chalten, Argentina to climb on the legendary spires of the Torre massif. To climb well in the mountains of Patagonia one must have goals beyond the summits themselves. The only guarantees in these harsh peaks are of dynamic conditions and typically horrendous weather. Patagonia Dreamin, a film by AliasCinema, produced by Arc’teryx.

[Verse 1]
I remember the day that we never met
Hair blowing in the wind, sun touching your skin
One week, four days, three minutes since
That moment that you smiled I'm still spinning
[Pre-Chorus]
If it's one thing that you've done to me making me crazy
Hanging on in the morning when I wake up
All these memories fading
[Chorus]
If you're what I'm dreaming of
Never wake me up
Don't fade away
All that I see is your face
I don't know your name
Don't fade away
(Late at night) When I'm all alone
With my eyes closed you reappear
(You play all night) Like a video
So my eyes open up don't wake me when I'm dreaming
[Verse 2]
That day was a gift
Ever since been a curse
My heart is holding on
Hands saying you're gone
Colors fading to gray
But for what it's worth
I'm learning I can still feel love like that
[Pre-Chorus]
Every once in a while it gets me, I could be crazy
Hanging on in the morning when I wake up
All these memories fading
[Chorus]
If you're what I'm dreaming of
Never wake me up
Don't fade away
All that I see is your face
I don't know your name
Don't fade away
(Late at night) When I'm all alone
With my eyes closed you reappear
(You play all night) Like a video
So my eyes open up don't wake me when I'm dreaming
[Bridge]
And if I see you again
Would I be able to pretend nothing ever happened?
'Cause what I've seen in my head
The story goes: we grew old, happy ever after
After all you've done to me
I wonder if we could ever be together
Always in my dreams
Always there forever
[Chorus]
If you're what I'm dreaming of
Never wake me up
Don't fade away
All that I see is your face
I don't know your name
Don't fade away (repeat 2x)
(Late at night) When I'm all alone
With my eyes closed you reappear
(You play all night) Like a video
