I actually remembered to take the flip out of my bag to capture some live music to share; exciting! So exciting, in fact, that instead of only highlighting one song today ... you get three! Yay!We're really going to miss this event in the coming years! Who knows where we'll be, but we may just rearrange our schedules to pop back into town next year!
Thanks for the memories, Columbia.
First up is Better Deal. We love this one (although you'll hear me say that about all of them, lol)
Better Deal ~Villanova Band
bring me a better deal
tell me something that you know they don't wanna hear
tell me that you'll make my problems disappear
tell me that you're gonna take me from what I become
bring me a better deal
tell me something that you know they don't wanna hear
tell me that you'll make my problems disappear
tell me that you're gonna take me from what I become
do you ever fell like you was doing the same thing
pursuing the same dreams
and moving the same way
feel like you're living over the same day
keep on doing what you do to maintain
push so hard you about to fall
cant laugh no more without the alcohol
past the point of even walking tall
half the man that you were before
my baby, she prays for me
please let it be alright
my mama she said to me
find someone to share your life
because it fades
it fades
bring me a better deal
tell me something that you know they don't wanna hear
tell me that you'll make my problems disappear
tell me that you're gonna take me from what I become
bring me a better deal
tell me something that you know they don't wanna hear
tell me that you'll make my problems disappear
tell me that you're gonna take me from what I become
the hollywood lights, hollywood lights
screaming driving out west to get a piece of the pie
hollywood lights, hollywood lights
you get messed up and then you have a good time
push the limit till you way out of line
chase the women till you made up your mind
you don't wanna die alone
withering away up inside your home
you don't wanna put up with peoples games
you got beauty and you got youth
but it fades
it fades
bring me a better deal
tell me something that you know they don't wanna hear
tell me that you'll make my problems disappear
tell me that you're gonna take me from what I become
bring me a better deal
tell me something that you know they don't wanna hear
tell me that you'll make my problems disappear
tell me that you're gonna take me from what I become
Next we have Bird in a Cage. They didn't perform this song (*much to Tatum's dismay), so threw the song into a slideshow of photos I took at last nights concert.
*the Tatum story: last year at this event, Brian Conner gave a shout out to the ol' gal after performing Bird in a Cage. He looked at her and said "I don't know about you guys, but I swear I saw that dog was mouthing along to the lyrics". We may be delusional, but now every time this song plays, Tatum flashes the biggest doggie smile in the world!
Bird in a Cage ~Villanova Band
take me out tonight
bring me back to life
free me from this cage
take me from this place
bird in a cage

bird in a cage
somber and sober
bird in a cage

waiting for you
to come and
come and save me
from this
place that I have been for too long
now I know that
it's hard to tell you from a magazine
it's hard to tell you from a fantasy
my heart just melts
you're such a masterpiece
i drank myself
into insanity
bird in a cage
over and over
bird in a cage
somber and sober
bird in a cage
older and older
bird in a cage
every time i feel this way
i know
i'll be
waiting for you
to come and
come and save me
from this
place that I have been for too long
now I know that
i'll be
waiting for you
to come and
come and save me
from this
place that I have been for too long
now I know that
sing to me tonight
bring me back to life
free you from your cage
take me from this place
bird in a cage
over and over
bird in a cage
somber and sober
bird in a cage
older and older
bird in a cage
every time i feel this way
i know
ill be
waiting for you
to come and
come and save me
from this
place that I have been for too long
now I know that
ill be
waiting for you
to come and
come and save me
from this
place that I have been for too long
now I know
yeah, yeah, yeah
And they closed out the show with Slade Stone; which I found absolutely fitting ...Move From South Carolina to California!!! Here we come, baby! Notice Larson getting his dance on! ... And the other two completely passed out through all of the hoopla! Ha!
Slade Stone ~ Villanova Band
slade stone was a rebel from the back wood
raising hell from the day he was born
his mama raised him listening to country
introduced to him to the new record store
later on he started getting into music
from the true hell fire blues band
he was smooth
he was loose
he was true to his roots
you never heard a better sound a slow hand
he got his bags packed up
and his van gassed up
stratocaster and the tape tracked up
and now it's time, it's time to warn ya
move from South Carolina to California
X3
yea yea, yea yea
record labels of paper chasing
debating the brave
and some are making mistakes
and they just turn him away
wont give up
he keeps his head up
he's damn near fed up
until one day
people pick up the paper
take a look at the headlines
can't even believe
they seeing it with their own eyes
reading it from left to right
a country boy can survive
rockabilly, belt buckle, brass knuckle, punch singer
single-handedly managed just to change the whole industry
living life for the rock and roll inaslay
coming up with the top to george chemistry
this is what i was born to be
i never wanted something so badly
this is what I was born to do
now get out my way and watch my dreams come true
i got my bags packed up
and my van gassed up
stratocaster and the tape tracked up
and now it's time, it's time to warn ya
move from South Carolina to California
X3
yea yea, yea yea
X3
yea yea, yea yea
one day she walked right through the door
bass trump bump right through the floor
fresh side pack straight out the box
way to punk for punk rock
she got a toned up body
in a dress
that was black and violet
dark painted eyes that was so hypnotic
he couldn't explain the ways
he said hello there
and told her my names slade stone
and now you know
that i'm supposed to
be on my way down to california
to stomp up on the stage like a soldier
i got my bags packed up
and my van gassed up
stratocaster and the tape tracked up
and now it's time, it's time to warn ya
move from South Carolina to California
X3
yea yea, yea yea
X3
yea yea, one more time
X3
yea yea, yea yea
