As most of my fans know I record at least one Bill Mallonee song for each album I do. Since No Apologies is my LAST RECORDING for the indefinate future I HAD to record my FAVORITE Mallonee song. I cannot begin to translate it the way he has over the years, however I do believe you will hear my humble attempt at recreating a song that means so very much to me and share it with you all. PLEASE check out www.billmallonee.net and buy everything this guy has ever recorded. YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY and you will be bathed in lyrics that will haunt you forever. "Put all your love where it hurts the most...expect a little visit from the holy ghost... when your shortwave dies and there's no one to listen.... the stars are growing cold in your solar system..."
lyrics
WORDS AND MUSIC BY: BILL MALLONEE
come in here and have a taste
yeah what's one more hopeless case
when your short wave dies and there's no one to listen
and the stars going cold in your solar system
well her lips were red and her hair was brown
yeah feeling like the luckiest kids in town
she said "i'll follow you boy to the ends of the earth"
said "i'm not going that far for what it's worth"
and i really love to see you like this
the moonlight dripping off your fingertips
off your fingertips
well put all your love where it hurts the most
expect a little visit from the Holy Ghost
but when your short wave dies and there's no one to listen
the stars going cold in your solar system
I have watched this young man grow into a successful musician over the years. We did some of his early material together and he is still cranking out some amazing songs! James Vincent Carroll
The slashing roots rock on “Out On the Line” always makes its way to the kind of triumphant chorus that quickens the pulse. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023
