about

Special thanks to my old neighbor Dan King for letting me put his name in this song about growing up, listening to my dad's records, and practicing to be a star

lyrics

Every childhood memory I can think of
Had its way of fading over time
That old tree fort, that book report on Abe Lincoln
That I stayed up all night to read and write

Maybe there’s a lot I tried forgetting
Or every time I told the tale, it grew
Last to get picked, the first real kiss with Jenah’s cousin
Who made out with Dan King next week or two

And the picture will fade
To a grey or yellow shade
Just like every photograph in the box
But one memory I have
That will never fade to black
Is that 12-inch vinyl record that I lost

Somethin' 'bout the crackle of the needle
Lookin at the pictures on the sleeve
The words I heard, or thought I did when it played backwards
Forever printed in my memory

And the picture will fade
To a grey or yellow shade
Just like every photograph in the box
But one memory I have
That will never fade to black
Is that 12-inch vinyl record that I...

Linin' up the flashlights round the bedside
Close my eyes, and hear the people roar
Do you want some more? (Yeah, we want some more!)

And the picture will fade
To a grey or yellow shade
Just like every photograph in the box
But one memory I have
That will never fade to black
Is that 12-inch vinyl record that I lost

If there's a heaven, when this life is over
If there's a mansion, waiting just for me
I hope to God, it's analog and made of vinyl
And I can spin it for eternity...
And all the angels come to my party

Just Dave Band Los Angeles, California

Hi, Just Dave here. OK, here's the deal, here at Just Dave Band we don't have 'fans', only friends who like to hear our music. I work hard on stage, I crack jokes, I put my life stories into my tunes, and try to support a family playing and selling my original music. (and I try to keep the guys in my band busy, too!)
#StandbyforGreatness, California Country!
