This piece was inspired by the following song lyrics:

You got to leave me now, you got to go alone
You got to chase a dream, one that's all your own
Before it slips away...
--Nickel Creek - When You Come Back Down

Leave it all the fights and all
Summer’s getting colder
Drive all night to hold you tight
Back to California
Days went by
We waited and I guess we’re getting older
We couldn’t win in the end
--Sugarcult - Back to California

Still California dreaming...
