about

Featuring Stef Nicholson and Natasha LeFort of Factory Girls.

An old school blues vibe exploring nostalgia via some old tapes.

lyrics

Woke up this mornin' with them ol' videocassette blues
Spendin' my time on rewind with you
But that VCR done gone too far again
I just wanna spend time with my best friend

Sun bleached colours on the TV
Babe, they ain't got nothin', ain't got nothin' on you and me
The '80s called, they want their renaissance back
So let's hit fast-forward on that

I saw a love story in the discount bin
It got me thinkin' 'bout how to get to you again
They sure don't make time travellin' easy
But these ol' tapes sure help to soothe me

We found that movie, we been lookin' for
Our own bestseller that we started on all those years ago
We were singin' a Son House song
But when the tapes runs out
I'll say grinnin' in your face only lasts so long

Well the tapes all said, be kind, rewind
I would if I could, it'd ease a troubled mind

The tapes all said, be kind, rewind
I would if I could, but I'm stuck on those videocassette blues
