to proved our love was real
On the 8th I jump off board
Left behind what I could not bring
The pain and heartbreak
Was closest thing to you
Pain and the heartbreak
to you
One of these days, won't be long
I feel the waves come crashing down under
And I wish, I wish, Wish and I pray
For the lights to guide me, Onward

I'm so sad the European tour was cancelled!

This is fantastic. It's like Dylan's backing band got lost on the way to the studio and ended up at Motown.

Love this new-old R&B sound. To be honest, Sonic Bloom was one of the best psych revivalist album and Im kinda sad they departed from that vibe, but also very excited for the new album.
