Orleans

Orleans is an American pop-rock band best known for its hits "Dance with Me" (1975), "Still the One", from the album Waking and Dreaming (1976) and "Love Takes Time" (1979). The group's name evolved from the music it was playing at the time of their formation, which was inspired by Louisiana artists such as Allen Toussaint and the Neville Brothers. Orleans was formed in Woodstock, New York in January 1972 by vocalist/guitarist/songwriter John Hall, vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Larry Hoppen and drummer/percussionist Wells Kelly. In October of that year, the group expanded to include Larry's younger brother, Lance, on bass. Drummer Jerry Marotta joined in 1976, completing the quintet. more »

California, you're a beauty
An apparition to me now
Palm trees silhouetted against a sunset sky
Air so rich and tender, it almost makes me cry

California, you seduce me
Where the mountains meet the sea
And when I think of you
I feel that ecstasy
Climbing and descending
On a road that's never-ending

And you are all the things I left behind
California, you're my golden state of mind

California, I'm in love with you
Your magic always the same
Your season's always summer
Except for driving rain
A little bit of sadness
And then the sun comes out again

And you are all the things I left behind
California, you're my golden state of mind

California, I'm a dreamer
And you're a dream come true
Though you seem as real
As someone I have kissed
I wake to find
You're nothing more than mist

And you are all the things I left behind
California, you're my golden state of mind
California, you're my golden state of mind
