One of your best yet. ⭐️

Recently I spun 'Soul Parade' and 'Shangri-La West', and also enjoyed a Stoltz mini-binge. And 'Shutdown The Sun' never goes out of style or rotation around here. You put out a bunch of real good records (on CD).

I know! I’ve lived here longer now than I lived in San Francisco, and than I lived consecutively in Minnesota (1970-1973, 1980-1994)! What the fuck!

You be you Nick. That’s what will carry you into older age. Be genuine and people will rally around your vision.

Oh I just love remembering the glory of the Jackpine Social Club singer songwriter circle!

Now that he's back in the atmosphere

With drops of Jupiter in his hair, hey, hey

He walks like summer and talks like rain

Reminds me that there's time to change, change

But since his return from the stay on the moon

He listens like spring and he talks like June, hey, hey

Tell me, did you sail across the sun?

Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights are faded

And that heaven is overrated?

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?

One without a permanent scar and did you miss me

While you were looking for yourself out there?

Now that he's back from that soul vacation

Tracing his way through the constellation, hey, hey

He checks out Mozart while he does Tae-Bo

Reminds me that there's room to grow, hey, hey

Now that he's back in the atmosphere

I'm afraid that he might think of me as

Plain ol' Jane told a story about a man

Who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

Tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?

Did you finally get the chance to dance along in the light of day

And head back to the Milky Way?

And tell me, did Venus blow your mind?

Was it everything you wanted to find?

And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken

Your best friend always sticking up for you

Even when I know you're wrong?

Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance

Five-hour phone conversation

The best soy latte that you ever had, and me?

Tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?

Na na na na na na, na na na na na na na, oh

Na na na na na na, na na na na na na na, oh

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken

Your best friend always sticking up for you

Even when I know you're wrong?

Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance

Five-hour phone conversation

The best soy latte that you ever had, and me?
