Jimm McIver - Vocals, Telecaster, Silvertone bass
almost over (McIver)
kick your dusty boots off
put your dancing shoes on
hang a light out for me
i’ll be there my morning
the smart money waits
for those who escape the lie
so follow your bliss
out of the abyss tonight
when the road’s uncertain
every breath’s a burden
remember you are stardust
and you’ll return to stardust
I know where you’ve been
and you’ll sin again my friend
but the grass I have seen
out here where it’s clean is so fine
and it’s almost over
you been in and out of paradise
most of your life
maybe this time you should stay a while
I wanna see you smile
so stay a while
it’s almost over
it’s almost over
catch the next cheap flight out
no time for long goodbyes now
and you know where the wind blows
so spread your wings in slo-mo
I know where you’ve been
and you’ll sin again my friend
but the grass I have seen
out here where it’s clean is so fine
it’s almost over
it’s almost over
it’s almost over

Dude, this rocks. I was not expecting the harmonies and they added just that extra bit of seasoning. This is gonna be stuck in my head all day.

YES. From the guitar riff in the intro to the end, I loved it. Fantastic lyrics and melodic hook.
@brucebutkovich Feb 2022
Yeah!!! It's got that urgency and melody that early Cheap Trick, but with more growl and power that I've come to expect from a Power Pop!!

You seriously kicked your dusty boots off for this Jimm! Aww man! It is definitely over now that this song has been written. I love how heavy the guitar riff is, and your vocal is super heavy too! They fit together nicely. Dang! Can’t wait to hear what’s next!!!!!!

Sounds great, yeah this one might need dancing shoes.
Coolconcepts, we’re made of stardust, we have sinned and will sin again. We’re in and out of paradise, but can choose it.
But this is an invitation to a better place.

A rebellious rock anthem is better that coffee in the morning. Way to kick it in. Still waiting for coffee.

Have I told you how much I dig that bridge?? This is the kind of song that Apple Music would randomly open itself to play for me. It makes me want to run and fist pump and road-trip to LA, in that order.
