That voice! That voice! Harmonizing with overdub and always a tremelo guitars! Ireland is truly the place of Holy people! Holy mystic sages, poets, & angel headed hipsters—always a story in songs

Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? (Super Deluxe)

He wrote this one — for me to sing, and for himself to quietly smile about.
He’s always had a thing for old vinyls. A real collector. He even renovated his gran’s vintage record player — lovingly, like it was a classic car. Honestly, I think that thing might be his second girlfriend now.

I’ve caught him in his office with the lights low, wearing a suit and that old fedora, sipping whiskey, and letting the crackle of vinyl fill the room. It’s like he steps into a noir film every time he listens. He says he likes “noir themes and girls.”

Am I a little jealous of that gramophone?
Maybe. Just a little. But I get it.

This song is about that deep, intimate, almost romantic connection with music — the way your favorite record player feels like it’s singing just to you. It lifts your mood, keeps your secrets, talks in its own language... but only if you treat her right.

It’s kind of sweet, actually. And kind of beautiful.

[Lyrics]

Hello darling, back for more
The way you knock upon my door
You stroke, I start, you want, I give
I hum, you dance, I turn, you live

This is my reason, clear and true —
To give myself, entirely, to you

If you listen, I will sing
Just remember one small thing
Place the needle, don’t rush in
And I will purr from deep within
With every turn, I’ll draw you near
With melodies you ache to hear
If you love me, I will melt the room
If you love me, I will softly bloom

Hello darling, back for thrills?
Last night you spun me past my will
You held me close and felt me swell
I swore, I sighed, I sang, I fell

Your hand, my voice, just how you crave
This time, I’ll make you misbehave

If you listen, I will sing
Just remember one small thing
Place the needle, don’t rush in
And I will purr from deep within
With every turn, I’ll draw you near
With melodies you ache to hear
If you love me, I will melt the room
If you love me, I will softly bloom

Hello darling, what’s your desire?
A touch of silk, or heat and fire?
A dirty jazz, a whispered hum?
A rhythm slow enough to love?

I’m here to sway, to sing, to slide—
Let every bit of you confide

If you listen, I will sing
Just remember one small thing
Place the needle, don’t rush in
And I will purr from deep within
With every turn, I’ll draw you near
With melodies you ache to hear
If you love me, I will melt the room
If you love me, I will softly bloom

If you love me, then turn me on
