Of Candles, We're Keepers (Remote Video Version)

from Of Candles, We're Keepers (Remote Video Version) by Willie Wisely

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!

lyrics

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

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
