"Orange County" Stefy

Saturday, May 14, 2011

"Orange County" is a 2006 California song by the pop group Stefy from Orange County, California.

A coming-of-age styled ballad, "Orange County" tells the tale of a young couple who grows up into an adult world of parenting, bills and debt in the OC.

Lead singer Stefy Rae conveys the song's emotional lyrics with the conviction of one who honestly wonders where all the good times have gone amid a life of Southern California materialism, struggle and regret.

There are many Californians who can relate to the song's portrayal of the disillusionment experienced during an economic downturn.

A cut from the album entitled The Orange Album, "Orange County" is one of the more gloomy and reflective songs about California, though it is done very well.

It just goes to show that, even in the stereotypically 'perfect' world of Orange County, California, remorse and lament over lost youth, innocence and dreams can still happen.
