This is the remixed version of the track. I quickly fell in love from first listen with the original so I knew this choice would be a very safe bet. The remix closely resembles the original but is a more polished version that builds upon the original core concepts. What makes this track truly enjoyable is the smooth beat that almost makes it seem as if you can feel the salty ocean breeze. Combined with a lot of variation between sung melodies and rap the song stays interesting. What this track gets right is that each piece is seamlessly blended together to build a song far greater than any of its parts. The lyrics focus on the struggles between balancing reality with living the dream California life. I think this is a great metaphor that we all can connect to. It makes the song worth coming back to.
