supermarket traffic
we're blocking access to the bread
I almost dropped the basket
cause you didn't ask before you leaned in
you insist on kissing me in public
and you know I mind
I feel exposed and defenseless to strange eyes
but you have you put me on display
cause you only love me in the California way
the California way
the California way
the California way
you only love me in the California
L.A. is what you make it if you hustle hard enough
I think you think you can shape me into whoever you want
I'm not that land of potential, but you treat me just the same
you only love me in the California way
the California way
the California way
the California way
you only love me in the California
it's taken some time to realize
you're looking for a warmth I can't provide
but I promise that you'll feel it
the moment you experience the Hollywood sunshine
it breaks my Boston heart to have to say
but you only love me in the California way
the California way
the California way
the California way
you only love me in the California

This is a beautiful and unique album, reminiscent of the early pioneers of musique concrète and electroacoustic music, but more restrained, refined and seasoned with a modern approach to ambient soundscapes.
This is a sonic journey that bears repeated listening and enjoyment. PSR B1257+12 (fan & listener)
