lyrics

been walking the streets now maybe
I've been working too much sin ce I have
been walking down the streets
and they have opened my eyes
been listening to that fine fine music
and started dancing alone, now you see it?
for all the people down the street
everything was just all right

and I quit babe
I ain't working for a lifetime
so I quit babe
I ain't working for a lifetime

said I wanna be free but maybe
I realized that I am since I have
been walking down the streets
and they have broken my chains
then listening to my dear dear good old friend
I got how lucky was I to discover
that all my life I've been a fool
all those chains weren't there at all

and I quit babe
I ain't working for a lifetime
so I quit babe
I ain't working for a lifetime

been walking the streets now maybe
I've been walking too much since I have
been walking down the streets
and they have opened my mind
been listening to that fine fine music
that makes my soul to explode with vibrations
all my life I've been a fool
I couldn't get it at all
come on

and I quit babe
I ain't working for a lifetime
so I quit babe
I ain't working for a lifetime

This is some great music for a morose, rainy day. Lush, sedate, bluesy, and with a certain apocalyptic flair, most evident on White Horses, which sounds very much like a psychedelic blues dirge. I appreciate that the songs sometimes lose themselves along the way, giving way to some beautiful psych explorations. I also enjoy the vocals on this - they sometimes waver, but they fit the music so well. Smekermann

This record somehow manages to slow down time! I enjoy the overall sound of the instruments and especially the voice. Either listen to this in a dark room and relax or crank up the volume and feel the fuzz! (Will probably sound even better on vinyl) E'sPsychedelicBreakfast

The latest from L.A. DIY fixture Vinyl Williams is a cosmic brew of intricately arranged soft psychedelia. Get into it. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 23, 2022
