about

Cool California Nights (written 10/2008, recorded 09/2016) Wanted to capture my reminiscing about all those feelings I had as a kid growing up around the Bay Area of San Francisco, California. There was magic and heartbreak and it was wonderful. I have not written another song since finishing this one in 2008. Guitars used: Main acoustic is a RainSong Shorty, second guitar is a Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin II.

lyrics

Verse 1:
I get lost on a night like this
Moon and the stars just spin me round
Stare at the sunset
Oh such sweet regret
As sunset gold fades into midnight blue
And I go driftin thru

Chorus:
On those cool California nights
And those blue western skies
Asleep in the sun, let the days pass by
And go dreaming on a cool
California Night

Verse 2:
Like summer nights drivin my old car
Me and my best friend with the top rolled down
Or a million miles away
Wishin I hadnt strayed
But oh how sweet to finally be coming home
Back where I belong

Chorus repeats

Bridge:
And the days are filled
With so many reasons why
Feel the sun shining on my skin
I just close my eyes

Instrumental chorus

Verse 3:
Now theres some things I wish I hadnt done
And some friends I wish Id never left behind
But I try not to think about
Cuz Im better off without
Getting lost inside an old memory
But they still find me

Chorus repeats

Coda:
Oh I get lost on a night like this

Brett Allen Gregory Livermore, California

I've always been compelled to write.

Early on it was journaling and poetry, but then that merged with my guitar addiction to become songwriting.

The process was always a bit manic, pressured, as if a large gorilla had stepped into my room, grabbed me by the lapels and said, "I will not let you sleep until you write this idea down." And so for years the gorilla and I danced madly thru the night.
