Liner Notes

Collaboration with another Patty (greengrassgirl) :) I absolutely love her work with lyrics!!

Patty @greengrassgirl says: I was delighted when I got an email from @pattie saying she had musicated Vintage Vinyl! What fun! I couldn’t wait to hear how this lyric felt to her. To me, her version has kind of a laidback nostalgic feel, like we’re remembering through a fog of time…or is that the hint of something else? 😀 (I wouldn’t know!) Thank you, @pattie! I will enjoy playing this song over and over.

Lyrics

I think you'll agree that @greengrassgirl writes some incredible lyrics! :)

V1 Tucked in the wall down an alley way In a part of town gone to seed The sign went missing years ago You can still smell a hint of weed

V2 The store takes you back to that time in the past When the music reached into your soul The songs that hit you right in the heart Joni Mitchell to Rock ‘n Roll

Ch Welcome to Vintage Vinyl The records you never outgrew They’re alive at Vintage Vinyl The songs that feel most like you Your music’s all here at Vintage Vinyl The first time you heard it, you knew

V3 Back in the day, Milo ran the place He was friends with Roberta and Glen My girl and I hung out there a lot It was cool when a star dropped in

V4 Some of the albums cost thousands today Makes me wish I’d saved all of mine Or bought some extras and stashed them away I’d be rich after all this time

Br Don’t get me wrong I love modern music The new songs I hear all around me But the ones that stay with me Are the ones from the 60’s From that hole in the wall down an alley

Love the smoky vocal tone and melancholy melody , perfect for these lyrics that evoke such a great vibe

Hi Pattie! Congrats on your version of this, too! To my ears, this had a bit of a Cranberries feel, which I enjoyed and it fits the nostalgia aspect of the lyrics. It was interesting to see how others handle the same lyrics, wasn't it? Hats off to @greengrassgirl for tempting multiple people with her lyrics!

Oh, I enjoyed this! Great lyrics and such a nostalgic and relatable idea. I like verse 3 best... ton of subtext. Really nice. I used to buy my vinyl at Hurley's in South Wales back in the '80s ... I could get one album from the weekly wages from my newspaper round.... lovely stuff.

I think I gave all of my vinyl away to a charity when I moved from the Midwest to the DC area to be near my kids/grandkids. I MISS THEM! Wonderful, wonderful song--great collaboration! ❤️
