Last week, Sia Furler previewed her take on the '60s classic "California Dreamin' " in a trailer for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's upcoming disaster movie "San Andreas". The song, originally performed by the Mamas and the Papas, has now arrived online in its entirety.
Sia's version opens with a haunting piano and later finds the Australian singer/songwriter showcasing her signature powerful vocals over the dark orchestral instrumentation. "All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray/ I've been for a walk on a winter's day/ I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A/ California dreamin' on such a winter's day," she sings the chorus.
Sia is no stranger to recording songs for movies. She has previously made contributions to the soundtrack albums of films such as "Annie" and "Fifty Shades of Grey". Most recently, she helped co-write Jessie J's "Flashlight" from "Pitch Perfect 2".
"San Andreas", also starring Alexandra Daddario, Carla Gugino, Colton Haynes and Ioan Gruffudd among others, is coming to U.S. theaters on May 29.
