In November of 2007, Vince went into the studio with Neil Osborne (54-40) at the console and began to lay down the initial tracks. It was a work in progress, until this winter when Vince added the last 3 cuts to the CD, literally days before the album was due. The end result is a well crafted, 13-song disc rich with cleverly penned lyrics and cool lead guitar lines, sung by a signature rock voice.
Vince Vaccaro’s eloquence, turn of a phrase and unflinching ability to reflect life has not gone unnoticed. MTV’s Buzzworthy recently wrote, “Vaccaro builds new-school classic rock ballads out of heartbreak guitars and his unstoppable voice. The soaring, heartfelt results are as much Snow Patrol as they are Journey. Sounds pretty irresistible, right? Well, it is.”

You got your wings on, I got my headband, turn up the music let’s paint our faces.
When you’re with me, uh oh oh uh oh oh. x4
When I’m with you, it don’t matter what will ever come of anything cuz you’re here, ohhh.
I wanna kiss you in the middle of the forest, wrote you a song and I taught it to the animals.
Still got my dancing feet and my purple pants, turn up the music let’s paint our faces.
When you’re with me, uh oh oh uh oh oh. x4
When I’m with you, it don’t matter what will ever come of anything, cuz you’re here, ohhh x2
with you, it don’t matter what will ever come of anything, cuz you’re here, ohhh.
When I’m with you, it don’t matter what will ever come of anything cuz you’re here, ohhh.
It don’t matter what will ever come of anything x3
Cuz I’m with you.

I love this. This is so great. Keep making people aware of all the suffering lives in south east Asia! Maybe people will realize that animals are just as important as humans.
