LATE JUNE 
(Kern/Ratts) 

you and me on a rainy night 
driving around with a dead headlight 
it was late june and we didn’t have to be nowhere 

We took a turn down a country road 
and you were singing with the radio 
it was late june and we didn’t have to be nowhere 

i saw the gifts that were given to you: 
the way you moved and your eyes so blue 
and all i let you see 
was the summer side of me 

and you told me: 
“i’ve got a thing for you 
yeah baby I do, 
yeah baby i do. 
i’m hung up on your laughter 
and i get high on your smile 
i’ve had a thing for you for little while”. 

that summer burned you in my mind 
you’d call me up and we’d talk all night 
it was july and we didn’t have to be nowhere. 

every night we’d look at the stars 
‘till august came and you broke my heart 
it was autumn and the winds were blowing us elsewhere 

i dug the gifts that were given to me 
out by the lake and in my dad’s camry 
though all i let you see was the summer side of me 

then i told you 
“i’ve got a thing for you 
yeah baby i do 
yeah baby i do 
i’m hung up on your laughter 
and I get high on your smile 
i’ve got a thing for you for all time 

well, winter comes 
don’t a hundred winters come? 
they leave you feeling older 
years go by and we’re still alive 
but cold, somewhat colder 
except you make me feel new 

and i’ve got a thing for you 
yeah baby I do 
yeah baby still do 
still hung up on your laughter 
i still get high on your smile 
i’ve still got a thing for you 
after all this time.

Vegas With Randolph - Late June

"Dynamite, charging change of pace from these much-loved Washington, D.C.-area kings of power pop. Killer melody; loud guitars and a drum track that demands respect. 'The Girl Holding Out for Me' bodes well for Vegas With Randolph's next album. A+!" 
 Alan Haber, Alan Haber's Pure Pop 

 In April of 2013, on a NYC bound train (where the guys would meet up with, and Eric perform with, David Myhr), John began humming the chorus refrain of the song that eventually would become "The Girl Holding Out For Me." (Incidentally, this same train ride's return trip also gave birth to the title and lyrical concept for "My Lost Colony" from VWR's "Rings" album). The climbing chorus melody was so infectious it soon developed into this track, which has now become the first single released from VWR's upcoming fourth album (as further songs are still being written and recorded for that effort). 

 With "The Girl Holding Out For Me," VWR returns in force with a tale of the longing, the faith, and the patience/impatience of youth. It also marks the first track featuring VWR's phenomenal new drummer, the formidable DC ace musician Andy Hamburger. We hope you dig this new song, and stay tuned for more to follow!

The Girl Holding Out For Me

This is an acoustic mix of "Above The Blue", recorded to air on a mutli-radio show broadcast supporting relief in Japan, following the Tsunamis there a couple years back.  Features the cello work of Fred Lieder. 

Vegas With Randolph:  Above The Blue - Acoustic Version

I COULD BE THE ONE 
 (Kern / Ratts) 

 I could be the one 
 if you want me to 
 I could plan a late night rendezvous 
 And be your man 
 through the lonely night 
 right beside you till its bright outside 
 I'd hold your hand 
 like your dearest friend 
 and stay beside you till the world ends 
 I’d be the one 
 if you’d say the word 
 would be the sweetest word I ever heard 

 I could write a song 
 about you each night 
 I could bathe you in the candlelight 
 I’d take you out 
 to the finest bars 
 I could give you all my credit cards 
 I’d wait at home 
 when you’re out with friends, 
 When you’re worn out I’d order in 
 I’d be the one 
 if you want me to 
 You just say the word 
 I’m there for you 

 I could be the one that makes you happy 
 I could be the one that makes you sure 
 I could be the one to help forget about 
 the other ones before 
 I could be the one where you don’t wonder 
 the one that didn’t get away 
 I could be the one 
 ok? 

 I could probably find another one to be 
 The one for me 
 But there will never be another you 

 I could be the one 
 in the summertime 
 On a moonlit hill 
 I would pour your wine 
 I’d be the one 
 when the leaves come down 
 To take you walking through the lights of town 
 I’d be the one 
 in the coldest snow 
 Wrap my arms around you like an eskimo 
 I’d be the one 
 when the flowers bloom 
 Filling vases in your living room 

 I could be the one that makes you happy 
 I could be the one that makes you sure 
 I could be the one to help forget about 
 the other ones before 
 I could be the one where you don’t wonder 
 the one that didn’t get away 
 I could be the one 
 what do you say?

COOL THINGS 
 (Kern/Ratts) 

 i've got two napkins 
 from our meal in bethesda 
 and two ticket stubs 
 from better than ezra 
 i've got some newly 
 emptied picture frames 
 that used to feature us 
 in the everglades 

 i've got one bad disposition 
 from missing too many good times 
 so it's my intuition 
 to get rid of what reminds... 

 i've got a boom box 
 that used to play your tdk's 
 i've got that jacket that you bought me 
 over winter break 
 i've got a shot glass 
 we smuggled back fro mexico 
 and a secret stash of movies 
 that i can't let go 

 well i could box it away 
 with lots of packing tape 
 but i can't archive my love 
 like all of the cool things 
 we used to do 

 do do doot doot doot doot do do do 
 do doot doot doot doot doot do 
 do do doot doot doot doot do do do 
 cool things that we used to do 

 i've got your tape of the 'surfers 
 doing hairway to steven 
 and that great big cup 
 from seven eleven 
 i've got that night stand 
 where you kept remote controls 
 and some other secret things 
 that no one needs to know 

 i've got some pictures in my smart phone 
 and some pictures in my mind 
 i've got your disc of frank sinatra 
 i've got to leave those things behind 

 i've got your lipstick on a card 
 from my last big birthday 
 and that green growing thing 
 you got me for earthday 
 and the turntable 
 where you'd listen to my vinyl 
 and the front door 
 where i knew that it was final 
 i've got an ashtray 
 from a hollywood hotel 
 and your cd stand 
 that never stood so well 
 and the socks we bought 
 that night in shenandoah 
 it's time to pack it up 
 everything must go-ah 

 gonna dump it all in 
 the recycling bin 
 but i can't archive my love... 
 like all of the cool things 
 we used to do 

 when all is done 
 it still is strange 
 what do i use to fill 
 to fill woh woh woh woh 
 these empty picture frames? 

 do do doot doot doot doot do do do 
 do doot doot doot doot doot do 
 do do doot doot doot doot do do do 
 cool things that i'm going to do

Vegas With Randolph - Cool Things

From VWR's forthcoming fourth CD. 
 "Jacob" is an adrenaline pumping tale of an exhilirating experience, its resulting bumps and bruises, and the triumph of the thirst for the thrill of the ride. Though enduring "pummeling" and ultimately being "spit out," Jacob can not forget that "out there somewhere" is "another ticket stand, another track that stretches to the sky." Foregoing warnings from well meaning friends who are "happy with the sun not in their eyes", ultimately, still, "Jacob wants to climb and dive..." 
 This one is special to us, and we hope you enjoy it.
