General information
Going to California is the third track and the third single from Recover, Vol. 1. It was released on Amy Lee's YouTube channel with an accompanying music video on December 1, 2015[1]. The song was originally by Led Zeppelin.
Amy posted this statement on Facebook about how her manager had recorded the guitar for fun, and that she instantly felt that she had to sing it[2]:

This song is a classic that I've loved for as long as I can remember. It puts me at peace. My friend and manager, Jordan, had recorded the instrumentation for fun and when I heard it a few months ago I knew instantly that I had to sing on it. Listening to mommy sing usually helps get Jack into that elusive sleepy place, and this song has been a regular rotation nap-time hit around our house this fall. As I was preparing for the November Evanescence shows, I just really wanted a moment like this in our set. So I showed this version to Troy, who made it a personal challenge to master a finger-picking based song, which was outside his comfort zone (not that you could tell - he sounded amazing!). We had so much fun playing it live! It's a pleasure to sing a song publicly that is such a part of who I am offstage - my roots, the style of music we always played around our house when I was growing up, and still at every family gathering, singing and playing music with my Dad. I hope you enjoy it! |
