The Past Is Today

by Crazy Bull

supported by

oneleggedjedi Cool. Some good old-fashioned southern-style rock. Always a winner in my book. Favorite track: Pull You In (Left Hand Path).

Colin M. Mountain and Blackfoot had a child and raised it on a heavy dose of Blue Cheer. It done grown up strong. Favorite track: Lay On It.

Ken Elliott Fuzzed out, bluesy, and massive guitar, masterful drumwork, brawny rock vocals, and memorable melodies vault this album to my number one slot. Favorite track: Royal Vice and Ancient Scenes.

Track Name: Pull You In (Left Hand Path): If you're gonna point that gun, you better mean to kill.
The thin man is coming to get you, and you know he will

The funeral is about to begin
The left hand path pulls you in
You’re lying in your head
You can try to escape if you can but he can smell you in the air.

Take a look in the mirror
Do you like what you see? Oh no, I can't offer you know protection and no reprieve

The funeral is about to begin
The left hand path pulls you in
There's a knock at your door
The soils been turned before
You're lying in your head
You can try to escape if you can but he can smell you in the air

The truth and the pain of lies told so straight
You've walked this world for so long
The vile, the wretched, the dirty disgrace
It's time to pull the white sheet away
Track Name: Winding On: You stand around
Not saying much
And when you do
You know it’s all a front

Step back, you’ll find
more words than time
Lasting far too long
But I know you’re gonna keep on Winding On

Convolution, pained illusion
I’ve seen your type before
Mirrors and smoke may have trapped me once
That won’t trick me anymore

Step back you’ll find
A wealth of crimes
A list so very long
But you just kept Winding On

Hopefully what this thing meant
is lost to you now
Cause I couldn’t dig it up
I wouldn’t know how

Speaking through a veil can be hard
Feeling through a steel door
The venom in this dirty cup
Must be drank once it's poured
and this facade you have
will soon peel like the paint on my front door

You will be exposed
You can’t hide no more
Track Name: Wrapped Up In Rock: Never know
what you done wrong
Always late,
Always gone too long
You can’t help yourself
its just the way it is
You said you’ll try better
but you never did

It's over for you, you can’t escape
What can you do?
What can you say?
And you say I was wrapped up in rock
But I know I was wrapped up in rock

Maybe she’ll understand
Maybe she won’t
It don’t matter now
Cause the lines been formed
Up your nose
Down your throat
Walking the streets now
Far from home

I break the rules every chance I get
I break my back all day long
And you say I got wrapped up in rock
But I know I was wrapped up in rock.
Ain’t ever gonna stop

They try to water you down
That's the way I guess you see it
But I’m here to tell you right now
If you say it, you better mean it
I break the rules ever chance I get
I break my back all day long
And you say I got wrapped up in rock,
But I know i got wrapped up in rock
Ain’t ever gonna stop
Track Name: Gangster Of Fortune: They say that money is the root of all evil
then why does it light up your eyes.

They say that love is all we need.
Then why does it bring us down

Starving and lonely we look to the left
and see what we do not have

They try to tell us ignore the truth
Deny our baser half.

But we were tricked by the gangster of fortune,
he put a lie inside our head.
We turned our backs on each other.
And went down with ship instead.
We went down with the ship instead.

It can be hard to taste the food
With the trace of regret in your mouth.
We laugh smile and act casual for awhile,
but what has that ever Done?

You can't take credit for living
when the battle is already done
Hypocrite you would call me
and you would not be wrong

But we were tricked by the gangster of fortune,
he put a lie inside our heads,
we turned our backs on each other
and went down with the ship instead.

There's no hope, could there be?
Left in this world, for me?
Track Name: Royal Vice and Ancient Scenes: The darkness and chaos is all that I see
You don’t see why, I live inside of these
I close my eyes I see the spread
of royal vice and ancient scenes inside my head
Seeping right into you

For now it's escaped Why you are here?
To me its blindingly clear

The dogs that scrap, the dogs that vie
They hide in corners and wind themselves up tight
It is the worm that crawls inside
In the grain of the mind and out of sight

For now it’s escaped you
Why you are here
To me it’s blindingly clear
A step in the wrong direction
A breakdown so very near
An endless sky a smoldering tear

Part two

Royal vice and ancient scenes
Yanked out of a pleasant dream

You say you found your tone
It don’t mean a thing to me

Part three

The worker in the field can live for these, sustaining him for a thousand years
Try to look him in those big oak eyes, long red feathers for you to fear
Rushing water and that chipping stone,
A worried heart, an empty throne
Track Name: Lay On It: It’s a heavy load
when your love is going wrong
But you’re as light as a feather
when your love is growing strong

You got to take it as it comes
Casue you know nothing ever lasts for long
You got that suspicison in your ear
Telling you you know you got to beware
But you gonna lay on it
While you still can
You gotta lay on it
Till the bitter end

But your gonna lay on it
While you still can
You gotta lay on it
Till the bitter end

I seen you on the street and I could tell you were sick and tired
Just looking at your feet I knew that you’d been walking for miles
Tearing you down playing with your heart ain't no thing
But you keep coming back like a dog when you hear that bell ring

You got to take it as it comes
Casue you know nothing ever lasts for long
You got that suspicison in your ear
Telling you you know you got to beware
But you gonna lay on it
While you still can
You gotta lay on it
Till the bitter end

Marks on your back
Ball and chain round your neck
You deserve what you get
Loving for nothing and whole lotta regret, you know it.
Track Name: Dyin' Anyhow: What you gonna do with yourself before you die?
How you gonna live your life?
Breaking your back for somebody else?
Workin’ for a dime
Ain't no step in the right direction.
Gotta live it the way you know how.

We're all gonna die babe

Everybody's gotta little evil inside em, you can use it if you want to. I don't wanna live my life doing everything just like you. No way I'm wrong , no way I'm right just doing it the way I know how.

We're all gonna die anyhow
We're all gonna die

Who you gonna give your love before you go? Who you gonna give your time? Walk around as free as the breeze without no rhythm and no rhyme?
I’m gonna take a stance I’m gonna make it known I’m doing exactly what I wanna do

We’re all gonna die babe We’re all gonna die anyhow.
Track Name: What It Takes To Burn: I am the whisper, I am the dream
I am the doubt that will bring you to your knees

I am the sucker, I am the waster
I am the looker, never the taster

Yeah I know and I've learned
What it takes to burn

You never had it
So you never lost
That thing that means so much
But doesn't have a cost

Your cup is overflowing
My cup is far from spilling
You want me to lose these feelings now

And there are times
when it all feels lost
Times got a look in its eye
But there is something
I can do for you

And it's so hard to say
What it is I need
The eyes of some other fool cast down

Can you even pretend to know
what it is we've lost?
The lines of time remind so slow
But now you know

A fire in the eye, an ember in the belly
It's hot, it's hot but not enough

I'm sick and tired of rhyme
The spray of salt reminds
You know it filters through my hand

Yeah, I know and I've learned
What it takes to burn
Track Name: The Past Is Today: Can we wear our denim forever?
Born too late or right on time?
How black is your leather?
Creating a shrine in our mind

We wish we could say
The past is today
Stomp our feet and make some noise
What else are we here for

Walking and circling around
Same dust in my hair from the ground
Dark history shining from behind
Obscuring that same old sound

We wish we could say
The past is today
Stomp our feet, make some noise
We have no choice

Time after time
Song after song
I want it for you
I hope it's not gone

Shout it out now
Rumble and throb
It ain't so hard to know where you stand
Let it all in, drink it all down
Wandering through, the ages somehow

There is more 70s vibe on this album than on any Greta Van Fleet album. This, The Lunar Effect, Zeppers, and a few others have really taken the best lessons of that classic era and made it their own. This is what kids should be turning to for their rock fix!!! Tom's Reviews
