Artist/Band: Beach Boys
Lyrics for Song: California Saga/Big Sur
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Beach Boys



Cashmere hills filled with evergreens
Flowin' from the clouds down to meet the sea
With the granite cliff as a referee
Crimson sunsets and golden dawns
Mother deer with their newborn fawns
Under Big Sur skies and that's where I belong.

Big Sur I've got plans for you
Me and mine are going to
Add ourselves to your lengthy list of lovers
And live in canyons covered with a springtime green
While birds and flowers to be heard and seen
And on my old guitar I'll make up songs to sing.
Sparklin' springs from the mountainside
Join the Big Sur river rushing to the tide
Where my kids can search for sea shells at low tide
Big Sur my astrology it says that I am meant to be
Where the rugged mountain meets the water

And so while stars shine brightly and up above
Fog rolls in through a redwood grove
And to my dying fire I think I'll add a log.


California Saga/Big Sur

This track by The Beach Boys stands as a pivotal moment in the group's evolution, marking their transition from surf pop to a more complex, orchestral rock sound. Released in 1966, the recording features the band's signature harmonies layered with classical instrumentation, including strings and brass, creating a lush, cinematic atmosphere that defined the 'California Sound.' The song explores themes of longing and the passage of time, reflecting the band's deep connection to their home state while addressing the emotional complexities of growing up. It remains a cornerstone of their discography, showcasing Brian Wilson's innovative production techniques and the group's ability to blend pop accessibility with sophisticated musical arrangement. The piece is widely recognized for its influence on the development of the psychedelic rock genre and its enduring status as a classic of American music.
