Rock and roll is not what I thought
I'm hanging 'round a parking lot
Trying to pick my friends up from the bottom

'Holy Diver' punches my brain
It's pumping out the mains and
All I got is a resonator

Rock and roll is not what I thought
I'm hanging 'round a parking lot
Trying to pick my friends up from the bottom

PBR, you're my only friend
Stick with me up until the end and
Next time bring your medication

Rock and roll is not what I thought
I'm hanging 'round a parking lot
Trying to pick my friends up from the bottom

Elliott cries, "We gotta get back home"
He's feeling so alone and
The money's just not worth the time

Rock and roll is not what I thought
I'm hanging 'round a parking lot
Trying to pick my friends up from the bottom

The Quiet One

Leap of Faith

At some point, everyone asks themselves what love really is. Why isn’t it what we thought it would be? Why doesn’t it feel like the movies promised? “Round & Round” is about that quiet shift from believing that love is the most sacred thing in the world to wondering why it often fades. Why people stop caring. Why they fall in and out of love like in circles, round and round. This song is a reflection of that feeling, that doubt, that realisation.

4 Re-Imagined Covers of Timeless Songs that took the world by storm during their respective eras. 

Home (Phillip Phillips) by Owls & Lions

This song is about us always trying to look outside for something in our lives that we think will make us happy, fix us, or end in lasting happiness - when really all the answers we need are already inside. There’s ‘nothing more’ out there. To quote buddhist teacher Thich Naht Hanh ‘The way out is in’.

Nothing More

Singer/songwriter Joe Kaplow lives in a four-acre mansion in the hills of Santa Cruz. Of course, he shares the space with a group of hippies, some rats, and some very dilapidated floors and walls... but it does have a swimming pool.

For Kaplow, becoming a full-time musician - and adopting the lifestyle that often accompanies it - didn’t happen by accident. Having moved from farm life and family in New Jersey to the rich Santa Cruz music community, Kaplow has often found himself living paycheck to paycheck as he departs on three-month U.S. solo tours, records music in various bedrooms of the house where he lives, rehearses with his new band and writes constantly, dedicating himself fully and lovingly to the craft of songwriting.

Kaplow’s debut album Time Spent In Between is  simultaneously grounded and exploratory; the music is equal parts  intimate and expansive.  With raw instrumentation and earthy vocal melodies, Time Spent In Between is rich with folk songwriting brilliance.
