H&M Loves Music - Amason 'California Dreamin''

H&M Loves Music - Amason 'California Dreamin''

Amason performs a cover of The Mamas and The Papas song about leaving the troublesome reality and escaping to a place where worries don't exist. Amason's cover is the theme song for this year's H&M Loves Coachella campaign.

"'California Dreamin'' isn't just about the psysical longing for warmer weather, palm trees and escaping the gray och cold reality for a sun-drenched and cenematic existence. To be California Dreamin is also to hope, pray and wish for something to go the way you want it to, although deep down you know that it won't. Getting the object of you affection to respond to your romantic invitation is perhaps the most common example of the idiom. 

Depending on your interpretation and where your mind is; whether you're praying for something to go the way you want it to or if you're a restless idealist dreaming of leaving everything behind to make a brand new start in the golden stade; Amason makes those distressing feelings come to life with their melancholic version of 'California Dreamin'', a classic song which The Mamas and The Papas debuted in 1966."
