Schmelson "Rollin' That Thunder"
from Halcyon Tone vol. 1: Reflection by Halcyon Tone
about
Rollin’ That Thunder is Schmelson’s debut single on Halcyon Tone Records; a ’70s inflected track reminiscent of the warmness of the better Wings moments, or the grooves of the blue-eyed soul movement. Despite it’s groove, the song’s lyrics indicate a haunting sense of soul-stricken bewilderment.
lyrics
Sat on a crumbling wall
In the town that I used to call my home
How did I get so far
From the things and the people I used to know?
The boy that I was couldn’t be
The man that I have become
‘Cause time changes everything
And no one can be forever young
There must be another way home from here
Must be another way from here
Must be another way home from here
Must be another way
Keep on keep on keep on keep on keep on keep on
Rollin’ that thunder
Keep on keep on keep on keep on keep on keep on
Rollin’ that thunder
Keep on keep on keep on keep on keep on keep on
Rollin’ that thunder
In the town that I used to call my home
How did I get so far
From the things and the people I used to know?
The boy that I was couldn’t be
The man that I have become
‘Cause time changes everything
And no one can be forever young
There must be another way home from here
Must be another way from here
Must be another way home from here
Must be another way
Keep on keep on keep on keep on keep on keep on
Rollin’ that thunder
Keep on keep on keep on keep on keep on keep on
Rollin’ that thunder
Keep on keep on keep on keep on keep on keep on
Rollin’ that thunder
