"California Calling" Olof Göthlin
Thursday, March 3, 2011
A modern classic among countless songs about California, Göthlin's "California Calling" sensitively expresses the longing of one who yearns for a feeling of belonging in an atmosphere of fulfillment.
Olof Göthlin is talented at taking the mental logic of a journey to California and then voicing it as a deeply emotional need which can only be met by self-discovery in the Golden State.
I like the raw YouTube-ness of Göthlin's self-made video (below) as it creates a genuinely 'unplugged' experience which is reflective, contemplative and primal in its emotional intimacy.
I really like the authentic folk style of Sweden's Olof Göthlin. This young artist will certainly be signed by a record label quickly."California Calling" represents the timeless 'sensitive singer/songwriter' genre in the most classic fashion.
It's a pleasantly enjoyable and marketable song that can be easily covered by many different recording artists. I love it.
Olof Göthlin is a talented singer and songwriter who gives a satisfying performance of a great musical tribute to California.
