about

Under the brilliant summer sun in my garden, I wrote "Santa Cruz," with the intent of capturing and conveying that very feeling within the song. The heart of the chorus, "Right On Santa Cruz," came from an unconventional encounter I had with a motel check-in attendant. He was casually enjoying his banana smoothie, sun-kissed with his feet crossed on the check-in desk, punctuating every interaction with a carefree "right on." The verse lyrics are centred around discovering the Californian coastline, with a few hidden double meanings thrown in. My intention was simplicity and a laidback structure that allowed the energy to flow through the lyrics and vocal melody.
