"'''Barcelona'''" is the fifth track on [[the Rentals]] [[1999]] album "''[[Seven More Minutes]]''." It is a reworking of an earlier Rentals track called "'''California'''." | |||
==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
"California" | "Barcelona" was originally written as "[[California (Rentals song)|California]]" by Matt Sharp and demoed to 4-track during the fall of 1993. A [[1995]] demo appeared on the compilation ''[[The Poop Alley Tapes]]'', and later on the Rentals fan club-exclusive compilation ''[[Excellent Stocking Stuffer]]''. [[Matt Sharp]]'s extended stay in Europe during the production of ''Seven More Minutes'' prompted a lyrical rewrite. | ||
