San Pedro's Children
David Hasselhoff · Other Songs - David Hasselhoff
On sundays came a sound I will always recall
It was sweet and complete
And it flowed through this cold-hearted city
And it sends me a heavenly shiver to think of it now ...
Come hear the voices of san pedro's children ...
Fill the air - oh-oh oh-oh ...
Joining hands and voices for the world to share ...
And how the cathedral would ring ...
When san pedro's children would sing ...
You'd hear them going ...
La la la la
La la la la la ...
Vaya con dios, mi amigo, en las noches felices
I could not understand, but the message I found
'cause the heavens seemed to translate
The words they were singing
And I know that somewhere an angel is writing it down
Come hear the voices of san pedro's children ...
Fill the air - oh-oh oh-oh ...
Joining hands and voices
For the world to share ...
And how the cathedral would ring ...
When san pedro's children would sing ...
You'd hear them going ...
La la la la
La la la la la ...
Time presses on and they tore down that run-down cathedral
Never will the joy ring so clear through the town
But on sundays if you stand very still ...
As the sun's coming over the hill ...
I swear ...
Sweet lord ...
I hear them goin' ...
La la la la la ...
La la la la la ...
La la la la la ...
Come hear the ...
Come hear the ...
Voices of san pedro's children ...
Fill the air - oh-oh oh-oh ...
Joining hands and voices
For the world to share ... - oh-oh oh-oh ...
La la-la la la la la la la la-la ...
La la-la la la la la la la la-la ...
La la-la la la la la la la la-la ...
La la-la la la la la la la la-la ...
San Pedro's Children
David Hasselhoff's "San Pedro's Children" stands as a defining track from his 1987 album "The Ultimate Diva," blending pop sensibilities with a distinct rock edge. Released during the height of his fame following "The Young and the Restless," the song captures the vibrant, chaotic energy of Southern California culture. With its driving rhythm and Hasselhoff's signature vocal delivery, the recording exemplifies the late 1980s pop-rock revival that characterized his discography. The title references the iconic San Pedro beach area, grounding the song in a specific geographic and cultural identity that resonated with the era's youth. As a staple of his live performances and television appearances, the track remains a quintessential example of 1980s pop-rock, showcasing Hasselhoff's ability to merge theatrical flair with mainstream appeal.
