about

The 2nd single from our upcoming album "Home". Home is a concept album about a 2 week period during the summer in small town Cape Breton. Most of the album takes place in one night. After procuring alcohol from a local town hero and getting drunk for the first time at a pre-party where a young local boy sees a beautiful tourist girl, he ventures to a dance to see a live band peform.

He reaches the Strathlorne Hall where the dance is taking place. There, he lays eyes upon the mystery girl he briefly saw at the before party. He concludes that she’s a tourist and must be there for a summer visit. With the confidence gained from a river of sugary booze in his system, he asks the girl to dance. He finds out that she’s from San Francisco, and that her father was originally from town. He thinks she’s the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen and decides in that moment that he would do anything in the world for her.

lyrics

Queen

I felt it in my bones when I woke today
I was gonna start doing what I say

Tell me what you want and I’ll tell you what I’ll do about it
I can make it good, better than you ever dreamed about
_____________________________________________________
Tell me what you want and I’ll tell you what I’ll do about it
I can make it good, make it feel right
_____________________________________________________
Sun was going down, so was Tropikiwi with it
Then you turned around, must have been here for a summer visit

PRE
I can make you feel like a queen

CHORUS
I know I won’t leave here alone - No he won’t leave here alone

Pay the cover charge, walk in like your Michael Jackson
Take a look around, and there she is like fire

Tell me what you want - I got it
Tell me what you need - I’ll be it (I’m it)

Straight from my heart I’ve missed you
Even though I’ve only Kissed you

Straight from my heart I’ve known It
Even though I’ve just been shown it

Tick tock my search is over I can feel my blood exploding
Tick tock my fire’s burning I can feel my world turning

BRIDGE
I like the way it makes me feel - when everything I need is falling into place

I like the way it makes me feel - when everything I need is written on my face
