Monet Eyes

from Main Street Lights by Vicious Petals

/

  • 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

When the golden sun
Is in the sky
We are taking flight and glowing bright
As the clouds set in
To disguise
They turn their Monet eyes in the distance

When the city is robed
In twilight
Your Monet eyes sigh every hour
If the light turns red
Don’t get out
You’ve still got that loaded gun in your hand

Lead me on with your headlights
Lead me home if you can
Under the sliver of the moon

Call me baby,
Call me your sweet thing
I’ll hold your heart within
And darling, I will bury you again
But your Monet eyes
Don’t know where to begin

When the rain starts pouring,
Kiss me again
By the neon lights and tourist sights
But when the blade glints dark
In the night
We’ll keep our balance act on its edge

Lead me on with your headlights
Lead me home if you can
Under the rabbit in the moon

Call me baby,
Call me your sweet thing
I’ll hold your heart within
And darling, I will bury you again
But your Monet eyes
Don’t know where to begin

When the dawn creeps in and closes
My Monet eyes
They will dream of sun and taking flight,
Your soul ablaze and full of light
So if the sky burns red
Don’t get out
You’ve still got my bleeding heart in your hand

Call me baby,
Call me your sweet thing
I’ll hold your heart within
And darling, I will bury you again
But your Monet eyes
Don’t know where to begin
