The power foursome then moved to commune, create and rehearse amongst the famed musical lore of Laurel Canyon. Within two weeks of rehearsals in early 2010, the group quickly began playing local shows and late night speakeasies. Led by timeless vocal tone and presence, small tweed amps, and a mission to move as many people as possible, the band quickly gained a reputation as a high energy and truly mesmerizing live act whose performances feel like down-home revivals with an uptown edge. Sticking to their roots of mid-century original soul music and recording techniques, the band used a lean three-day recording session with full takes and no-frills to turn out 12 new songs a mere two months into the project. With singles like "Gracefully", "Nancy Lee", "Still & Always Will" and "Blues Hand Me Down", the resulting sound brings you back to the days of vinyl records, sweaty juke joints, and the feel and essence of the original soul movement.
Still And Always Will
Vintage Trouble Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There, around the way
And I carried on like I was over you
It’s just a game I play
See I’m a proud, proud man
You won’t catch me down
You won’t find me on my knees crawling
But what you don’t see is the real me
From what I show you would never know
That I love ya like no other baby
Still and always will
Still and always will
I tried to make out of site
Be out of mind
But your being gone makes me fonder
Fonder with passing time
Now, I may act like I don’t want you back
Kissing the strange like there’s been a change
But I love ya like no other baby
Still and always will
Still and always will
Still and always will
If I could undo
What lead from you
I would undo it yesterday
I’m nowhere near fine
This smile is a lie
There is no here when you’re away
I just don’t feel the same
Without you calling my name
I thought I could do it
But without you it
Don’t get done the same
When you stumbled across me
There, around the way
And I carried on like I was over you
It’s just the game I play
But what you see aint the real me
From what I show you’d never know
Know that I love ya like no other baby
Still and always will
Still and always will
Always will always will
I love you, baby
Can’t stop thinking of you, baby
The song "Still And Always Will" by Vintage Trouble describes the feelings of a person who tries to hide his love for someone else. At the beginning of the song, the persona narrates how he pretended to be over the person he loved when she found him. He says that he is a proud man, and he won't let anyone see him crawl on the ground. However, he is just playing a game. The persona then reveals that he loves the woman like no other and always will, but he tries to hide it. This love seems to be one-sided, and the persona's efforts to move on have failed. He behaves as if he doesn't want the woman back, but deep down, he longs for her.
The chorus of the song reveals the persona's real feelings for the woman. He sings that he loves her like no other, and he always will, despite his efforts to hide it. He tries to convince himself that he can make it without her, but he can't. The persona then goes ahead to say that if he could undo what led to their separation, he would do it yesterday. He admits that he is not fine and that he smiles to hide his feelings for her. The persona concludes the song by professing his love for the woman and saying that he can't stop thinking about her.

When you stumbled across me
I met you by chance
There, around the way
I saw you nearby
And I carried on like I was over you
I tried to act like I didn't need you
It’s just a game I play
I pretend to not care about you
See I’m a proud, proud man
I have a lot of self-respect
You won’t catch me down
You won't see me depressed
You won’t find me on my knees crawling
You won't see me plead or beg
But what you don’t see is the real me
I'm not showing my true feelings
From what I show you would never know
You would never guess
That I love ya like no other baby
I have strong feelings for you
Still and always will
I will love you for a long time
I tried to make out of site
I tried to forget about you
Be out of mind
Be forgotten
But your being gone makes me fonder
Your absence makes me miss you more
Fonder with passing time
I miss you more as time goes by
Now, I may act like I don’t want you back
I may seem like I don't want you back
Kissing the strange like there’s been a change
Kissing other people to pretend I've moved on
If I could undo
I wish I could undo
What lead from you
What caused us to be apart
I would undo it yesterday
I want to go back in time and fix things
I’m nowhere near fine
I'm not doing well
This smile is a lie
I pretend to be happy
There is no here when you’re away
I feel lonely without you
I just don’t feel the same
Everything has changed without you
Without you calling my name
I miss you saying my name
I thought I could do it
I thought I could move on without you
But without you it
Without you, things
Don’t get done the same
Are not the same
Always will always will
I will always love you
I love you, baby
I'm in love with you
Can’t stop thinking of you, baby
You are constantly on my mind
