Story Behind The Song
Having moved from the UK to Los Angeles, it seems no matter where you are, from one big city to another, everyone's rushing about to answer two essential questions: what does life mean to me and how do I live it? My move here afforded me the opportunity to experience an LA different from what it is on the surface and made me think of how in the end, we are bound to live life according to our own nature.
Song Description
Poignant reflection of current values and speed of life, deals with the concept of the universal search for meaning to the individual and how often it is found within ourselves.

Lyrics
California Sky
The world?s in a hurry
But it?s got no place to go
So why all the worry?
I think it?s just for show
I?m sure there?s more to know
Maybe there are reasons why
I hear a thousand people cry
Maybe it?s not something I can help
I always thought I had to go
Forgetting what I reap and sow
Have I become an empty handed shell
Chorus:
Coz I have to take some time
Watching the world go by
Just sitting underneath a California sky
Don?t want to think about
I don?t wanna wonder why
Just sitting underneath a CA sky
Has the truth faded?
Is it done for the day?
People get jaded
And stop hearing what you say
I?m just looking for a better way
Maybe there are reasons why
I hear a thousand people cry
Maybe it?s not something I can help
I always hoped that I would fine
A little bit, a peace of mind
In this world all by myself
Repeat Chorus (2x)
The world?s in a hurry
But it?s got no place to go?
Fade out
