  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Enjoy the full-length album, mastered for vinyl, on two deluxe 180-gram LPs. Full color gatefold jacket with insert.

    Main Street Lights, Vicious Petals’ first release, was recorded on two-inch tape at Bear Creek Studio in Woodinville, WA. In this span of songs, Smith brings his powerful and earnest voice forward with an equally deep range in his guitar. Both are wonderfully complemented, anchored, and (at times) put on a leash by Okano’s heartbreaking, virtuosic, and frequently fierce piano.

    The record is an ambitious full-length album recorded with producer Ryan Hadlock (The Lumineers, Brandi Carlile) and engineer Jerry Streeter (Secret Sisters, Brandi Carlile). The arrangements are broad in their instrumentation, reflecting the duo’s ease working across genre and style. Painting with a broad palette of tone and arrangement, Okano and Smith give each of their compositions the perfect framework for eloquent expression.

lyrics

Burns is gonna push the Cougar too fast
You know they wanna come and bust his ass
He puts the gas to the floor for a while
The way you flinch just makes him smile
Midnight back roads ain’t enough
He’ll hit 120 turn the headlights off
The kid is quick
He’ll leave your mouth full of dust
No room to spit or cuss

And yeah you should’ve seen him go
Under the bright lights
At the casino
Living fast wasn’t a joke

That life that you sung
It was a bullet from a gun
And ever since you’ve been gone
I still hear your song
I still hear your song

Cold at nine-ball with that Guido smile
No chance in hell you’ll get to break for a while
He’ll run the table like a knife runs blood
You sit and study ‘cause you know that you should
Too good to hustle ‘cause they already know
Memphis to Nashville, down to Tupelo
That boy so good that the cash dried up
Y’all too scared to let him push his luck
And you know he smokes way too much
His sense of humor’s gonna bust your gut
And the girls stay on his mind
Heart on his sleeve all of the time
Shooting angles making them look straight
Pound for pound, a pure heavy weight
He lays some tire when he takes the prize
Speeding up the highway with his blood on fire

And the world let him go
That bright gold shimmering soul
Luck paid and took its toll

That life that you sung
It was a bullet from a gun
And ever since you’ve been gone
I still hear your song
I still hear your song

Oh how the street lights pass so fast
When you’re alone
Just staring out the window
Watching that flash
Of colors unfold
You could take the long way
Or the short cut
Around the bend
But one way or another
The story ends

That life that you sung
Was a bullet from a gun
Ever since you been gone
I still hear your song
I still hear your song
I still hear your song
I can still hear your song
