VIA PRESS RELEASE | Madfish and the John Mayall Estate are proud to announce the forthcoming release of a boxset celebrating John Mayall’s remarkable career on the 7th March 2025.
This new collection of previously unreleased live concerts features sound-desk and audience recordings capturing a host of line-ups with guitar legends Mick Taylor, Harvey Mandel, Walter Trout, and Coco Montoya; drummers extraordinaire Keef Hartley, Mike Gardner, and Colin Allen; bass supremos Larry Taylor, John McVie, Steve Thompson, and horn maestros Blue Mitchell, Johnny Almond, and Clifford Solomon all featured along with many more.
Mayall’s influence and appeal was worldwide; the selection of recordings herein showcasing his timeless, singular sound. Captured from 30 incredible performances from cities including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Paris, Milan, London, and more, the collection spans a 25-year period and offers a comprehensive view of Mayall’s legendary live prowess.
This box set coincides with John Mayall’s much-deserved induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and was approved and fully supported by the Two-Time Grammy Nominee before his sad passing earlier this year. The Mayall estate also supplied two very special privately recorded shows for this box set, both performances coming from Gaz Mayall’s legendary club night Gaz’s Rockin’ Blues in 1981 and 1982 respectively.
Richard Starkey, better known to the world as Ringo Starr, has just had his first number one solo album. He achieved that feat at the age of 84. From this fan of western movies and country music since he was a boy in the Wirral in Liverpool in the North of England way, the music on this smash hit album feels like a horse’s saddle that has been lovingly broken in over a lifetime of dusty rides over oft-trodden trails.
This is not just a collection of well-worn country classics played by anonymous Nashville studio veterans. This well-conceived project was helmed by producer T-Bone Burnett. For decades, Burnett has had an uncanny knack for producing roots music recordings that retain the authenticity of the genre (or genres) in which the artists he produces are working, while capturing a modern edge with freshness and simplicity.
Those recordings and this one are not over-produced saccharine country or today’s bombastic pop country committee creations. First of all, Burnett chose a small cast of roots players to provide a stripped-down welcoming base for Starr to show off his country vocal chops. The songs are heartfelt and fun, and Starr knows just how to sing them with his hang-dog plaintive croon. While the musical backing and songs are just right, it’s the way Starr duets with the various vocalists on this album that makes it more than just a collection of country songs.
The opening track kicks things off with the very accessible “Breathless” featuring the popular Billy Strings, but the tracks that really work the best are his duets with Alison Krauss on “Thankful,” and especially with the duo Lucius on “Come Back,” as well as the two tracks that include Larkin Poe, “Rosetta” (which also includes Strings) and “String Theory” (which also includes Molly Tuttle). Though Krauss has been around for years and has worked similar magic with her albums and tours with Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, it’s the newer young roots artists here that help Starr create something vibrant and new.
Currently based in Chicago (and formerly Charlottesville, VA), bassist, composer, improvisor, and bandleader Christopher Dammann has been on the contemporary jazz scene for roughly 15 years. The players he’s chosen to fill out The Christopher Dammann Sextet have comparable levels of experience, and on February 7, the group debuts on record with a self-titled full-length effort that’s available on limited edition vinyl (500 copies, black) and compact disc (150 copies). Released by Out of Your Head Records, the album’s blend of Dammann’s compositional sharpness and the ensemble’s advanced improvisational fireworks delivers a consistent reward.
The bulk of Christopher Dammann’s recorded output comes through his contributions to the 3.5.7. Ensemble, a size shifting outfit of which he was a constant member. They debuted as a quintet with Run… in 2010. Expanding to a septet (an octet for one track), they followed it up with Amongst the Smokestacks and Steeples, an at-times excellent 2LP set from 2014.
No matter the size, the 3.5.7. Ensemble can be thought of as a collective, even with Dammann’s constant presence, but he’s been designated as the leader of Restroy, a group that combines jazz with contempo classical and electronics. The big difference between 3.5.7./Restroy and the Dammann Sextet is the latter outfit’s focus on the bassist’s compositions, with Dammann credited with writing the entire album, although there is a simultaneous and unflagging emphasis on improvisational brilliance.
Along with Dammann’s bass, the group features Mabel Kwan on piano (he previously played in Restroy and contributed prepared piano to Amongst the Smokestacks and Steeples), James Davis on trumpet, Jon Irabagon on alto saxophone, Edward Wilkerson, Jr. on tenor saxophone and Eb alto clarinet, and Scott Clark on drums.
West Allis, WI | ‘I don’t see it slowing down’: West Allis record store says vinyl sales are better than ever, for all ages. The 67th Grammy Awards aired on CBS Sunday night, Feb. 2, shining a light on music’s hottest stars, like Kendrick Lamar, Chappell Roan, and so many more. The longtime awards show is a reminder each year that music can be a time capsule. A record store in West Allis provides a space for you to step into the time capsule. “It’s a little bit of everything, right?” CBS 58 reporter, Jenna Wells, asked Scott Heifetz, the owner of Record Head. “It is,” he said. “It’s a lot of everything.” Walking into Record Head is nearly overwhelming. Rows of vinyl records, new and old, line the store from front to back. “We have all the types of music that people would want…”
UK | Sam Fender Named Record Store Day UK 2025 Ambassador, Announces Exclusive Vinyl Release: The Brit Award-winning artist will celebrate RSD 2025 with a special six-track vinyl EP, ‘Me And The Dog.’ Sam Fender has been named the official ambassador for Record Store Day UK 2025, joining the ranks of Taylor Swift, Kate Bush, and Elton John in supporting independent record stores. The annual event, celebrating vinyl culture and independent music shops, will take place on Saturday, April 12, 2025, with over 270 indie record stores across the UK participating. To mark the occasion, Fender will release an exclusive six-track vinyl EP, ‘Me And The Dog’, available only in physical stores on RSD 2025. The record will feature a mix of unreleased tracks, fan favorites, and songs never before pressed on vinyl.
Missoula, MT | Record stores keep Missoula grooving: In the era of music streaming, Missoulians continue to jam out to records. With the internet, virtually any song is just one tap away but, that has not paused Missoula’s thriving record scene. “This town is record rich for sure,” said Slant Street Records co-owner Collin Pruitt. “There’s a lot of people that are pretty passionate, not only about music but about physical media and records in particular.” In the age of streaming, Missoula’s music stores are still slinging plenty of records. Local sellers say listeners still connect with vinyl despite today’s virtual world. “We hear it from people all the time that walk in and say ‘oh my gosh, this place smells like records,’ and there’s some sort of attachment that records created that I don’t think a lot of the other formats did…”
Paris, FR | North of Paris, this futuristic record shop has 10,000 vinyl records in its bins. Yoyaku Record Shop is gradually becoming the reference for second-hand electronic music in Paris! Collectors and music lovers beware, today we’re heading for the 18th arrondissement to discover one of Paris’s coolest and most unusual shops. Considered one of the most cutting-edge record shops for electronic music, Yoyaku Record Shop is a work of art in itself. In these ultra-purely designed spaces, you’ll simply find a collection of over 10,000 second-hand records! Time to dig up some nuggets! Decidedly, after Dizonord and its success beyond the borders of France, the 18th district seems to be the undisputed and unavoidable den of good record shops in Paris. Yoyaku Record Shop is much more than just a record shop: it’s a veritable institution for electronic music fans.
PHOENIX, AZ | Canadian native, Alex Sampson is on tour in the States playing alongside Jamie Miller.
First seen on America’s Got Talent, Alex is on a mission to spread his music. Last year, Alex released the “Hopeless Romantic” EP. The seven-track body of work illuminates the nuances of his artistry. It’s the second EP of his career, and he’s taken it on the road featuring his most popular song on Spotify, “Pretty Baby.” The slow-dance vibe is a fresh take on an old school, melodic sound.
Alex has a very strong voice that he uses to blend a true singer-songwriter acoustic sound with modern pop. His energetic performances engage the entire crowd and it’s clear he won’t be merely an opener for much longer. He captivates an audience like any headliner I have seen, and it was more than evident that he had fans in the building. Although touring for his EP “Hopeless Romantic,” Alex mixes in some of his earlier tunes.
I captured his set at the Crescent Ballroom in downtown Phoenix, AZ. It’s one of the better venues in the city in my opinion because of its layout. The 500 person room allows quite the interaction with the singer. There is no pit and many artists I have seen play this room often converse with the audience. It offers a unique ability to interact with someone you have listened to, watched, or only followed online.
Dream Theater’s sixteenth album, Parasomnia, marks a defining moment in the band’s illustrious 40-year history. With the return of original drummer Mike Portnoy alongside James LaBrie (vocals), John Petrucci (guitar), John Myung (bass), and Jordan Rudess (keyboards), this record is both a celebration of their roots and a bold leap forward in the band’s continual evolution. This reunion brings Dream Theater a renewed energy and focus, resulting in an album that is as technically brilliant as it is emotionally profound.
Thematically, Parasomnia dives into the elusive and enigmatic realms of sleep, dreams, and the subconscious. Much like the unpredictable experiences of the night, the album traverses a wide spectrum of moods, ideas, and emotions. From soothing, ethereal passages to chaotic, dreamlike sequences, each track explores night’s mysteries with poetic depth, blending surreal imagery with introspective storytelling. To me, this is Dream Theater at its best.
Dream Theater has always been synonymous with progressive metal, and Parasomnia reinforces this reputation while also pushing new boundaries. True to their classic sound, the album is packed with intricate arrangements, time signature shifts, and powerful solos. However, there’s an experimental edge here that sets Parasomnia apart from other albums in their catalog. You’ll hear everything from hard-hitting, classic metal riffs to softer, orchestral compositions intertwined with hints of jazz and electronic influences. The result is an adventurous and cohesive sonic landscape that takes the listener on a restless, dreamlike odyssey.
Celebrating Alice Cooper on his 77th birthday. —Ed.
Could 1974’s Alice Cooper’s Greatest Hits be the best album of the seventies? It’s a perverse and ludicrous notion, I know. But when I’m in the right mood, and I happen to be in the right mood right now, there isn’t an album I’d rather hear.
And is it such a perverse notion, when you come right down to it? I would direct the reader’s attention to Chuck Eddy, the perceptive and witty rock critic who wrote the brilliant, hilarious (and very much hated by metalheads) Stairway to Hell: The 500 Best Heavy Metal Albums in the Universe. In said book Eddy puts Alice Cooper’s Greatest Hits at No. 3 on his list. That’s right, No. 3, right below Led Zeppelin IV and Appetite for Destruction.
The fact is that Alice Cooper’s Greatest Hits captures the highlights–albeit with some inexplicable omissions–of a band that melded razor-edged garage rock to grade B horror movie theatrics to create some of the most enthralling songs to emerge from your car radio in the early 1970s. I know plenty of purists who find greatest hits packages suspect. When it comes to making up “best-of” lists, greatest hits LPs don’t count. Me, I’m a populist and a utilitarian and I prefer Alice Cooper’s Greatest Hits to Alice’s other product, although Love It To Death comes a close second. It’s time we let greatest hits LPs out of their ghetto!
Put simply, I like Alice Cooper’s Greatest Hits more than any of the five albums whose tracks appear on it because Alice Cooper’s Greatest Hits does not include any of the duds that made all five of those albums so uneven. 1971’s Love It to Death was as close as Alice Cooper came to producing a masterpiece, and is my AC studio LP of choice. Billion Dollar Babies finishes a not-so-close second. As for the other three, I don’t own them. Why don’t I own them? Because I have Alice Cooper’s Greatest Hits. That’s what greatest hits albums are for.
Sri Lankan Aussie Kiki Wera continues to make waves and from across the pond with new single “Lazy,” out now.
Channeling the likes of Hope Tala, Remi Wolf, and Dominic Fike, Kiki creates warm, fuzzy bedroom pop that is the perfect distraction for the winter blues. “Lazy” is utterly charming from the offset and certainly puts Kiki solidly on the map of ones to watch for 2025.
Kiki sings, produces, and writes all of her own music. She loves making music with good vibes—an escape with unique, quirky production and whimsical, honest lyrics. The pop artist grew up in Melbourne, but more recently studied contemporary music and songwriting at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Kiki Wera’s music is being discovered on Spotify New Music Friday AU and NZ, along with Fresh Finds AU and NZ.
Vocalist-guitarist-songwriter Vashti Bunyan only released three albums, but they cohere into one of the most lauded discographies in all of British folk. The esteem accrued gradually, however, as her second record Lookaftering, released in 2005, emerged over thirty years after her first. Now, twenty years later, DiCristina Records has assembled an expanded edition of the set featuring a second disc of demos, an alternate take, and a live track. It’s an enlightening and pleasurable plunge into the evolution of an era-defining record, available February 7 on 2LP/2CD
Well before her first album came out, Vashti Bunyan released a pair of singles (as simply Vashti) in 1965-’66 under the auspices of Andrew Loog Oldham. The A-side of the first, “Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind,” was composed by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, a connection established with pretty obvious Marianne Faithfull-ish intent that’s deepened by her contribution of “Winter Is Blue” to the soundtrack for Peter Whitehead’s film Tonight Let’s All Make Love in London.
This early material failed to gather commercial steam, which effectively ended Bunyan’s relationship with Oldham, and when she reappeared on the scene roughly half a decade later, she’d become something of a back-to-the-earth hippie, traveling to the Scottish isle of Skye with her partner Robert Lewis in a horse and carriage with the intention of joining a commune envisioned by fellow folkie Donovan.
That commune (or “Renaissance community,” as it has been called) fizzled out, but during the long and interrupted trip to Skye, Bunyan began writing the songs that shaped the Joe Boyd-produced Just Another Diamond Day, so ‘twas not a waste. But the record, issued by Philips in 1970, sank without a trace despite input from Simon Nicol and Dave Swarbrick of Fairport Convention and Robin Williamson of The Incredible String Band plus string arrangements from Robert Kirby (noted for his work with Nick Drake and others).
Summit, NJ | Final Spin: Scotti’s Record Shop Closing After Nearly 70 Years In Summit: Located at 351 Springfield Ave, Scotti’s has been a staple for music collectors since 1956, when Anthony Scotti established the Summit location. His son, Gary Scotti, later took over the business, continuing the family legacy. Known for its motto, “All Things Vinyl,” Scotti’s stocked everything from LPs, 45s, turntables, CDs, receivers, and speakers to rock T-shirts, books, posters, vintage memorabilia, and recycled vinyl crafts. On special occasions, customers could even enjoy live music performances inside the shop. On Friday, Jan. 31, Gary Scotti announced the closure in a heartfelt Facebook post: “Thank You for the many decades of Friendship and Support, I will miss seeing all the regulars and meeting all the new customers. Special thanks to Susan and Nick and all of the previous employees… Stay Well and Safe, keep the Music Playing.” The news left customers heartbroken.
Plano, TX | The Spin: Where Coffee And Vinyl Records Collide. A cozy blend of vinyl culture and caffeine vibes that feels like home. “We want people to feel like they’re coming into our home,” owner Chris Kraish tells me. It’s not your typical coffee and record store. The Spin, right on the Collin County border on Preston Road, catty-corner to the Shelton School, is a cozy, lived-in space where vinyl stacks and espresso shots have found a natural harmony. Kraish laughs. “It’s almost like the coffee and records just fell together here. We didn’t go in with a grand plan — it just grew organically.” Kraish’s father, Nassif Kraish, had sold his businesses, including a hookah lounge and an antique store. “I told my dad, ‘Don’t sell the records,’” he says, recalling their initial vision of setting up shop to unload their vast, valuable collection. “We’d talked about just renting a place and setting up like a pop-up — maybe throw in a drip coffee machine, sell a few $2 cups. No big deal.” But it quickly became more.
Malvern, UK | ‘Back street’ record shop named one of best in world: Chris Heard launched Carnival Records, selling new and used vinyl, in 2012—at a time when many record stores were closing as they struggled to compete against digital music and streaming services. But it was a gamble that paid off – with the shop having been named among the best in the world. The Financial Times listed the store in Malvern, Worcestershire, alongside counterparts in London, New York, Paris, Barcelona, Sydney, Copenhagen and Lisbon. Mr Heard put his success down to passion: “Records is our business, and it’s what we love.” The shop, found in an alleyway off Church Street, opposite Great Malvern Priory, sells a mix of new and second-hand records, as well as cassette tapes—which Mr Heard said “amazingly have become a thing again.” Mr Heard admitted it was a risky decision to launch a bricks-and-mortar store selling records in an age of online sales and digital entertainment. But he thinks his shop offers something people have missed.
UK | Go ‘Behind The Counter’ of UK’s best vinyl shops in new YouTube series celebrating Record Store Day 2025: The 18th edition of Record Store Day takes place on April 12. A select group of the UK’s vinyl shops are set to be profiled in a new YouTube series to celebrate Record Store Day 2025. Titled Behind The Counter, the 12-part series is premiering every Tuesday leading up to Record Store Day itself on April 12. Each episode will showcase the vibrant culture surrounding a different independent record shop. The series is made in partnership with the audio equipment brand Bowers & Wilkins, as well as Classic Album Sundays and Record Story Day UK itself. The first two episodes have already gone live, profiling London’s Dash The Henge and the Isle Of Man’s Sound Records. This is the sixth season of Behind The Counter, with the series having amassed over 2.5 million views to date in total.
Myles Kennedy, the golden-throated vocalist of Alter Bridge and Slash collaborator, is in the middle of his solo The Art of Letting Go tour. Along with openers Tim Montana and Sons of Silver, Kennedy conquered Baltimore Soundstage last Thursday night. It was—as always—a fun hang and a bright spot in what was a dreary January.
Sons of Silver got the festivities started in Baltimore, setting the tone for a night of rock and roll. Coming to us from Los Angeles, Sons of Silver are Pete Argyropoulos (vocals, guitar), Marc Slutsky (drums), Brina Kabler (keyboards), Kevin Haaland (guitar), and Adam Kury (bass). This band are veteran musicians and include former members of Candlebox (Kury) and Skillet (Haaland). As a lover of guitar-driven, bluesy rock music, Sons of Silver were a welcome addition to this tour. Their latest album is Runaway Emotions, praised for its energy and fun rock riffs.
Occupying the middle slot on the Art of Letting Go tour is Tim Montana. As the name suggests, Montana is from Montana—Butte to be exact. Growing up in a mobile home, Montana had no electricity and learned to play guitar by candlelight. It’s a past Montana refers to during his performance—he clearly comes across as a dude who has worked hard to overcome his underprivileged upbringing and is grateful for his successes. His notable friends include Billy Gibbons himself; the men are past collaborators on a few songs. In Baltimore, Montana blasted the audience with a grungey, southern rock sound pulled mostly from Savage, his latest album. “Devil You Know” and “Savage” were the standouts from his set.
Finally, the main event—Myles Kennedy, my favorite rock vocalist, the one who stands above all others. This tour supports his latest solo album, The Art of Letting Go, released last October.
VIA PRESS RELEASE | Fleetwood Mac released five back-to-back multi-platinum albums between 1975 and 1987, an astonishing feat that drove them to become one of the best-selling bands in the world.
On March 28, these classic albums will be reissued on crystal-clear vinyl as a 6LP boxed set as well as a 5CD set. This collection includes Fleetwood Mac (1975), Rumours (1977), Tusk (1979), Mirage (1982), and Tango In The Night (1987). A Rhino.com exclusive edition, including a crystal-clear 12-inch of “Silver Springs” and “Go Your Own Way” in both stereo and mono, will be available on the same day and is limited to 1,000 copies globally. Pre-order HERE.
A new incarnation of Fleetwood Mac debuted in the summer of 1975, including Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, and Christine McVie, along with new members Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. The group’s first album together, Fleetwood Mac (sometimes called “The White Album”), topped the Billboard album chart, spent more than a year in the Top 40 and sold more than five million copies in the US thanks to songs like “Landslide,” “Say You Love Me,” and “Rhiannon.”
In 1977, the band followed up with the 21x Platinum record Rumours—considered among the greatest albums of all time. It won the GRAMMY® Award for Album of the Year and has sold over 40 million copies worldwide. Its unforgettable tracks “Go Your Own Way,” “Gold Dust Woman,” and the band’s first number-one smash, the Gold-certified “Dreams.”
Celebrating Dave Davies on his 78th birthday. —Ed.
Ray Davies is without a doubt the most fascinating and enigmatic figure to emerge from England’s whole Merseybeat movement. Was he a hard rocker or music hall romanticist, an ironically distanced and gimlet-eyed chronicler of an England in terminal decline or the biggest mourner at the funeral?
One can only conclude that he’s all of the above, and add that he was, during the late sixties, the smartest fellow on the entire English rock scene with the possible exception of the Bonzo Dog Band’s Vivian Stanshall. That he chose to exercise his estimable talents during this period writing seemingly modest vignettes—miniatures if you will—of middle-class English life should not stand in the way of our adjudging the results—in this case 1968’s The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society—to be undeniable masterpieces.
The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society—which was released on the same day as the Beatles’ White Album—is probably Davies’ finest hour. Indeed, I for one think it’s the finest of the “concept” albums to be released by the great bands of the era, although I’ll hardly argue with you if you go with Pet Sounds. On its 15 tracks Davies attempts to do what Marcel Proust did with his seven-volume novel À la recherche du temps perdu—namely, to recapture lost time, and in specific his lost childhood spent in the little village green near his home in Fortis Green.
The album is a wistful look back at a “simpler” time, albeit one tinged with knowing irony—the Ray Davies who sings, on the title cut, “God save little shops, china cups, and virginity” is, without a doubt, having us on. And yet there’s an edge of sincerity there too—why not save vaudeville and variety, if they’re sunny childhood memories? But the truly wonderful thing about this remembrance of things past is the way Davies holds out the hope that—as he sings in “Do You Remember Walter?”—memories remain even as people change.
VIA PRESS RELEASE | After the incredible success of the film Easy Rider, Dennis Hopper was given complete freedom to direct and star in the bizarre, surrealist The Last Movie—released in 1971. Filmed in a drug fueled haze in Peru with Hopper, Peter Fonda, Kris Kristofferson, Dean Stockwell, Michelle Phillips, Russ Tamblyn, and Samuel Fuller—there has never been a soundtrack to this film until recently.
Featuring the first-ever performances of Kristofferson’s legendary “Me and Bobby McGee” plus sublime country-folk songs from John Buck Wilkin, Peruvian folk & dance music—all recorded live on set in Peru—nothing was overdubbed. Plus, provocative movie dialogue from Dennis Hopper, Sam Fuller and others—coupled with the ambient sounds of the mountains and villages of South America—reissue producer Pat Thomas and Hopper Estate archivist Jessica Hundley have assembled an original listening experience.
Out 18th April, packaging includes rare vintage photos, detailed liner notes, et al. The Last Movie recordings are being released for the first time ever on compact disc—taken directly from the original movie reels.
We’re releasing this CD soundtrack to tie in with Mike Scott & The Waterboys new album: Life, Death And Dennis Hopper to be released via Sun Records. The new Waterboys album is the epic story of the trailblazing American actor and rebel told through a song cycle of 25 original songs tracing the extraordinary arc of Hopper’s life, from his youth in Kansas to his long rise including Easy Rider, tumultuous fall, and ultimate redemption.
Mistrial? I say we try the album again and convict it this time because it’s guilty! Why, come to think of it, why don’t we do it now and get it over with! I’ll gladly serve as prosecutor! And I’ll settle for nothing less than the death penalty!
And rest assured I’ll be issuing peremptory challenges to the likes of knee-jerk Rock ’n’ Roll Animal apologists like Robert Christgau. He’d have acquitted an album of Lou sharting to the accompaniment of a calliope, while singing It’s a Beautiful Day’s “White Bird” in Farsi. Or worse, Lou rapping, as he does on Mistrial’s “The Original Wrapper.” In the original trial (I’ve studied the transcript carefully) the song was excluded from evidence on some legal technicality or other. Not this time.
Two Months Later
Well, it’s over. The trial was held at Manhattan Criminal Courthouse on January, 15, 2025, despite the defense’s attempt to have it held in American Samoa. A victory for yours truly, a bona fide attorney (I received my law degree from one of those children’s claw machines where you can win prizes like highly flammable teddy bears and bottles of highly combustible cheap tequila) because let’s face it—everybody in the Big Apple knows Lou Reed was an insufferable jerk. You could fill a book with people calling Lou Reed an insufferable jerk. Most of them were his friends, who tended to dive into open sewer grates at his approach because he possessed a gift for fucking over his friends that bordered on the supernatural, and which he actually acknowledges on Mistrial’s (1986) “Don’t Hurt a Woman”:
“I was angry, I said things I shouldn’t say I must have lost control Sometimes something clicks in my head And I’m not myself anymore.”
