Wrong Or Rhyme

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

I know you’ve been thinking ‘bout your high school crush
Her sugar eyes and her sunrise blush
She took you for a ride and you didn’t mind
Papa’s little angel, mama won’t abide
Naked and sweaty with lust
Trouble from back to front
Aching to just tell you a lie
She didn’t have to try

Remember there was a time
You couldn’t read wrong from rhyme
Cruising summer long
Out until the break of down
Tripping on some lust
Chasing down another blood rush
Taking every chance that comes along

Your long stare and your coffee smile
Living life has left you dead for a while
Pain and heartache just a crack at the seams
What you say to the mirror, truth and fallacy
Wanting all the love in the world
Remembering the kid that you were
Begging to believe in a lie
He didn’t have to try

Remember there was a time
You couldn’t read wrong from rhyme
Cruising summer long
Out until the break of down
Tripping on some lust
Chasing down another blood rush
Taking every chance that comes along

Summer nights with the top down
Her hair spinning around and round
Flushed cheeks from the summer heat
Tires and street thumping like a heartbeat
A stomped six fumy fire
No headlights mile after mile
She leans back with her feet on the dash
Looking like a dream in your hands

Remember there was a time
You couldn’t read wrong from rhyme
Cruising summer long
Out until the break of down
Tripping on some lust
Chasing down another blood rush
Taking every chance that comes along
Taking every chance that comes along
