We Hit Oil 05:36
We Hit Oil What to do about green eyes making my brown eyes blue What to do about Samson who came in like a dream and when I woke up he was bald. When I woke up he was bald! Uh oh. Oh! (2xs) Some call it passion some call it fire I call it love Some call it danger some call it desire you call it love Uh oh. Oh! (2xs) I touched something in you with something inside of me that has no control There is no off/on switch. No right/wrong just go go go. Even if I try to hold back this feeling, nature would say no. There’s something inside of you, inside of me that’s bound to explode! Uh oh. Oh! (2xs) We Hit oil! We Hit Oil!

Jigsaw Fit 02:57
Jigsaw Fit We go together like a jigsaw fit, with jagged complex bony bits and hard working hearts that never ever quit. You never know which way the wind blows,we light the match and watch them sparks go. You and me we make such big flames, we call for help but firefighters couldn't even contain. SO why complain when it's so clear, I suffer insufferably when you are or are not here. I take away pride and I take away pain, your pulling me backwards and forwards and then you're doing it to me over and over again.

You Don't Bring Me Flowers Anymore I ask you for a drink of water but you’re bringing me wine all the time. At first it was polite. You treated me nice, but after a bottle I can’t tell what’s right. The ring you put on my finger matches the tattoo on my arm of 2 hearts colliding in a firefight underneath the full moonlight. But you ask for a dance and I feel just like the first time we met. You get that look in your eye the kind you find behind the door that’s locked you can’t get inside. But oh. when we dance I feel just like the first time we touched. You get that look in your eye the kind you find behind the door that’s locked you can’t get inside. You said violation is the only way to a man’s heart. The siren rang when we first touched. Now I can’t turn it off. When you left this time you left no trace I could find. I’m gonna close my eyes and dream of you and I and kiss the air just one more time. 10 years since I met you. 10 Years since we’ve been apart. You don’t bring me flowers anymore so these tears will have to water my heart.

Princess Eyes She’s tired of her life, she’s steppin out tonight She starts out with her hair, it goes into her eyes Making sure everything, everything looks alright For those dark spotlights Don’t get yourself too excited She doesn’t like the men that fumble hello She’s been waiting all day long to shimmy shake her hips so strong She’s gonna shake you up she’s gonna spin you out it’s so loud you can’t hear the words coming out of her mouth 1 shot, 2 shots of whiskey 3,4,5 is all it takes. She will laugh at what you say You hide your face in shame the man with no name. Got nothing but pride swallow, swallow then you hide Then you go inside You got her heart-on, seal the deal you rocked it but i got this girlfriend at home, oh fuck it one more drink she gave you her mother’s locket tonight you’ll keep it safe inside your pocket You’re gonna shake her up Your’e gonna spin her out it’s so loud you can’t hear the words coming out of her mouth Loneliness led me to you, it’s not love. Just something to do (3xs) Princess Eyes open wide to early morning sunshine She looks up to the left, her clothes are to the right Making sure everything, everything looks all right He’s on his side

Scarlett 05:05
Scarlett From across a crowded room I spotted you. I spotted you and made a move all too soon. It was too late anyway. Fate wrote the script we would play. Da da da... you made a move all too soon (2xs) Well she comes to me every night and day but I never know when she’ll come around with a passion that drives me insane. Da da da... you made a move all too soon (2xs) He feels his mouth’s on fire with that language of desire that has no words but ooh and ahh. He said no words but ooh and ahh (2xs)

Gravity 02:53
Fire lights up my mind in flames Smoke comes in the room, enveloping the room A crowded room, I'm in the room exhale the air I'm breathing it's still there whirling round in circles dizzying up my thoughts in a jumble Can you please tell gravity stop working on me?

about

On Boston’s North Shore, a new chapter in Americana music is being written by a 5-piece band that is sweeping the underground with their incredibly dynamic sound.

Vanilla Manvelope is breathing new life into classic styles of music such as blues, folk, rock, and soul; the culmination of sounds made popular by icons such as Tom Waits, Billie Holiday, Adele, and countless others. The texture of the music is interwoven to beautifully provocative lyrics, and each song has it’s own set of characters and story-lines that are interesting and timeless.

The strong musical kinship of Eric Reardon (guitar) and Sarah Seminski (lyrics/vocals) is at the foundation of the band’s unique sound, along with the unstoppable rhythm section of Joe Cesarz (bass), Jim Larkin (drums) and Chris Sink (keys).

Always impactful and evocative, and mostly complex- Vanilla Manvelope will surround you in a fury of sound that is a reflection of the inner workings of all of us. Get ready to go inside the timeless stories of the human experience
