FAWM: "Vintage Vinyl"

Vintage Vinyl

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

#60's & 70's. #pop #rock #needs collab
#multiple collabs welcome

This is a collab (or multi-collab) experiment. Maybe it will work; maybe it will fall flat. I love the music of the 60's and 70's, and I imagined this record store down an alley where music lovers and traveling musicians stop by to listen and reminisce. There are undoubtedly posters covering every wall. The closest I can come to describing the musical treatment I have in mind is: "Something that reflects the music that transformed us and defined our lives back then."

If this lyric speaks to you, I would LOVE to hear your musical interpretation. I'm labeling it "multi-collabs" because there could be many wonderful ways to take us back to those days. If you're comfortable with that understanding, please go for it.

Lyrics

V1
Tucked in the wall down an alley way
In a part of town gone to seed
The sign went missing years ago
You can still smell a hint of weed

V2
The store takes you back to that time in the past
When the music reached into your soul
The songs that hit you right in the heart
Joni Mitchell to Rock ‘n Roll

Ch
Welcome to Vintage Vinyl
The records you never outgrew
They’re alive at Vintage Vinyl
The songs that feel most like you
Your music’s all here at Vintage Vinyl
The first time you heard it, you knew

V3
Back in the day, Milo ran the place
He was friends with Roberta and Glen
My girl and I hung out there a lot
It was cool when a star dropped in

V4
Some of the albums cost thousands today
Makes me wish I’d saved all of mine
Or bought some extras and stashed them away
I’d be rich after all this time

Ch
Welcome to Vintage Vinyl
The records you never outgrew
They’re alive at Vintage Vinyl
The songs that feel most like you
Your music’s all here at Vintage Vinyl
The first time you heard it, you knew

Br
Don’t get me wrong
I love modern music
The new songs I hear all around me
But the ones that stay with me
Are the ones from the 60’s
From that hole in the wall down an alley

Ch
Welcome to Vintage Vinyl
The records you never outgrew
They’re alive at Vintage Vinyl
The songs that feel most like you
Your music’s all here at Vintage Vinyl
The first time you heard it, you knew

Very, very cool stuff, Ms Patty. I feel the tug to take a crack at it, but I'm away from "studio" and it would have to be a crude 1+1 phone recording on a borrowed guitar. I'd much rather do a full production with a '60s radio type arrangement, but maybe I can get around to something like that post-FAWM.

Great lyrics, Patty! I'd be glad to do a version but my takes are generally one voice, one guitar. So, I'll hold off and see if some of the folks who do more elaborate arrangements jump in. If not, I'll circle back and give it a shot. Regardless, nice work on this!
