Phantom Planet, anyone? Oasis, maybe?

Though this is the request forum, I thought I'd volunteer a couple more songs we self-requested recently that lend well to my voice, and to our playing style. We picked up "Wonderwall" by Oasis very quickly two weeks ago, and actually played it live about an hour after had played it for the first time!

Last night, after watching 11 episodes of The OC (Season 1, if you must know), bored and stuck inside by Gustav's overrated-but-still-volumous downpours, I decided I needed to learn Phantom Planet's song "California." For you that know it only from The OC, it's a legitimate song that came out in 2002, IIRC. I snagged the Martin, found the lead (piano section) in about 2 minutes, and found the necessary chords directly after. Christina says it's possibly the best match for my voice in a cover song yet.

"We've been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for number one
California, here we come
Right back where we started from

...

Californiaaaaaaaaa
Here we coooooooooooooome!"

Good song, I think I got it down now too.
And I think we cover Wonderwall by Oasis very well.
