lyrics
I'm ferris wheelin'
Feet up on the ceilin'
I'm ferris wheelin' all the way
The wheel is spinning round
Turning me upside down
You're looking better by the way
You're looking better by the way
You're looking better by the way...
The sea it shivers
Like sparkling blue mirrors
Circling birds above the spray
They dive and deliver
Hunting for their dinner
Counting their blessings by the day
Counting their blessings by the day
Counting their blessings by the day...
And the moon's afar
Shepherding the stars
Smiling down on us
Smiling down on us...
I'm ferris wheelin'
Feet up on the ceilin'
I'm ferris wheelin' all the way
The wheel is spinning round
Turning me upside down
You're looking better by the way...

My younger brother Dan's recent double-vinyl release! I used to play earlier versions of some of these tunes live on upright bass with Dan. Glad to hear them fully come to life. An inspiration :) Jonathan Blakeslee
David Kilgour is one of my fave musicians of all time. Love his records with The Clean, but his solo albums get just as much play time with me. Check out the first track here, "Like Rain". The best! Jonathan Blakeslee
Got turned onto John's music by a friend. "Vampire Alberta Blues" gets stuck in my head, reminds me of a track or two from Neil Young's "On the Beach"... Jonathan Blakeslee
Keith Richards, Rosanne Cash, Lucinda Williams, Joan Jett, and more pay tribute to the enduring and visionary music of Lou Reed. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 23, 2024
The UK upstarts' debut veers from sunny, psychedelic folk to bristling post-punk with reckless abandon without ever missing a beat. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 18, 2024
