"Super Solid Soul Vehicle" Out now on all platforms.
The song tips it's hat generously to Bill Withers, and is inspired by the man himself, written shortly after his death a year ago. The song is a tribute to the man, but also to his remarkable wisdom and ethic in music and life. Keep it simple, let the the soul and the song do the talking. And connect with yourself and with music and rejoice!
if we get back to the basics, we can remember what it is to feel alive. “If you can lock yourself in a closet and just groove… don’t cheat yourself out of that”

Lyrics:
I got bogged down, in an avalanche rut
Going with my brain instead of my gut
I got a heart on fire, it’s dying to get out
I got terrors that I need to scream about
I ought to be singing everyday
Makes the bad things go away
I got caught in minutiae
Won’t someone drive me away
In a
Super Solid Soul Vehicle
Super Solid Soul Vehicle
Super Solid Soul Vehicle
Super Solid gonna take me there
It’s got flames all up the sides,
Mahogany trim inside
Let the Super Solid Soul Vehicle Ride
I got knowledge, I cling on to survive
But Billy said
“All you need is the 1 and the 7 and the 5”
I got Mojo, living in me
But it’s been so long i forgot how to let it breathe
And I’ll ruminate indefinitely on
Just how exactically
To extend the chords harmonically
When all I need is,
all I really need is a
Super Solid Soul Vehicle
Super Solid Soul Vehicle
Super Solid Soul Vehicle
Super Solid gonna take me there
I need a whip to transport me,
To where my heart wants me to be
With my Mojo in the shotgun seat.
All I need is one string, and my voice to sing.
Main man laying down the vibe
I guess this is what it means to feel alive
I GOT A WHOLE LOTTA MOJO, AIN'T GOT NO SKILL.
I got Soul, (don’t say the style) I just did.
Like JB did way before I was a kid.
A powerful tower might just blow your lid
(hottest whip)
I don’t care, I wont keep my passion hid.
Billy didn’t complicate
He used was he had to make
And the people did relate
He comes smashing through the gate, in a…
So many options so many sounds
In an inch of water you’ll see me drown,
I got lost but i done got found when i borrowed Grandmas turnaround
For the
Super Solid Soul Vehicle
Super Solid Soul Vehicle
Super Solid Soul Vehicle
Super Solid gonna take me there
It’s got flames all up the sides,
Mahogany trim inside
Let the Super Solid Soul Vehicle Ride
I GOT A WHOLE LOTTA MOJO, AIN'T GOT NO SKILL.
