The Mamas and The Papas乐队1965年在洛杉矶成立，成员为John Phillips 和他的妻子Michelle Phillips及Denny Doherty与Cass Elliot，带有当地的流行民谣风格。1968年解散。
在电影《阿甘正传》中，阿甘与女友Jenny二人相聚在一起时，响起的就有这首加州梦想，为片中Jenny一心向往嬉皮解放式的 生活，道出了她的心声。
通俗的曲式，唯美的人声，这是the Mamas & the Papas乐队给你的一个率意的黎明，在那片走不出的重庆森林里，有一个姑娘也曾经和我们一起为梦中的加洲手舞足蹈。“All the leaves are brown, and the sky in gray。I’ve been for a walk, on a winter’s day。”灰冷暗淡的冬日风露中，一曲畅快的’California Dreamin’ ，将我们带到温暖和煦的阳光海岸
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreaming
On such a winter's day
Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
If I didn't tell her
I could leave today
California dreaming
On such a winter's day
California dreaming
On such a winter's day
