Hear Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers try to woo a lost lover to “California” in quirky new song
for a dual-layered love song. “California” is both a love letter to the state and an attempt to rekindle a romance fallen on hard times. Specifically, the narrator tries to lure his lover out to the coast from Oklahoma.
“Took a house in California overlooks the Sunset Strip/said you’ll join me when I’m settled/ now I sit here six weeks in,” sings a forlorn Martin, as the band plucks behind him. His overtures include the promise of warm weather, rum drinking on the front porch, and creative opportunities. “Come to L.A./bring your laptop/sell your show to HBO,” he implores.
In the end, he meets a new interest at — where else? — Whole Foods and joins her at her home where she has legal weed for two. Still, Martin’s mind is on the one back in Oklahoma and he splits without even inhaling. Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers pair the song with a lyric video that uses vintage California postcard imagery to whimsical effect.
