Of candles we’re keepers… I, believe in change It’s the only thing That stays the same And I, believe in streets Where dead ideas Taste their defeat And if anyone tells me no Should anyone tell us no They’ll be proven wrong I am the believer Not in snakes and Tweeters Not in fakes and cheaters My head is my very own We are the believers No one pulling our lever Ain’t buying your theater Don’t you let them in your home We are the believers Of candles we’re keepers… I, believe in songs King’s mountain high Sings right to wrong And I, believe in loud Like my guitar It parts the clouds And if anyone tells me no Should anyone tell me no They’ll be proven wrong They’ll be proven wrong We are the believers Not in snakes and Tweeters Not in hate and fever Our heads are our very own We are the believers No one pulling our lever Ain’t buying your theater Don’t you let them in your home I ain’t no blind man’s monkey You can’t bully or punk me Ain’t scared of your flunkies There’s a million more marching behind (me) We got the numbers to cool you Got the factories to glue you What you did we’ll undo, yeah Till there’s nothing left to you We are the believers Of candles we’re keepers… If anyone tells me no Should anyone tell you no They’ll be proven wrong They’ll be proven wrong We are the believers Not in snakes and Tweeters Not in hate and fever Our head is our very own We are the believers No one pulling our lever Ain’t buying your theater Don’t you let them in your home I ain’t no blind man’s monkey You can’t bully or punk me Ain’t scared of your flunkies, cuz There’s a million more marching behind (me) We got the numbers to cool you Got the factories to glue you What you did we’ll undo, yeah Till there’s nothing left to you We are the believers We are the believers Of candles we’re keepers… I, believe in change It’s the only thing That stays the same Keepers

Guitars speak an unwritten language, otherwise, I'd have included lyrics here.

about

In October we released the single and now comes the version that accompanies the live video… Four musicians, no edits, playing to their instincts in real time with video capture ON! Keeping candles lit for live rock'n'roll. Hell, my guitar cable even shorted out. We kept it in the mix!

about

Willie Wisely Saint Paul, Minnesota

Equal parts Minnesotan music scene veteran and Laurel Canyon resident/devotee, Willie Wisely remains that rare bird mixing profound power pop with arena-sized showmanship, a troubadour on an all night rave up, a cold kombucha on a hot California day, a McCartney-ite taking a break from his Japanese import of “Ram” for a quick Canyon run listening to João Gilberto. ... more
