about

Blvd Park's first album, Bell Tower Mansion, was released in 2009 and named for the infamous midtown Sacramento 19th century community style art house each of the band's eight original members lived in. Following through with a theme of connection to the home, Blvd Park's sophomore album The Sound, is a nod to the beautiful complex system of interconnected marine waterways and basins located in and around the band's new home of Seattle, Washington.

about

Part alt-country and bluegrass, Blvd Park is spaghetti western by way of Ennio Morricone's The Good The Bad The Ugly Theme, ... more with a playful quality similar to Herb Alpert and Tijuana Brass, a male/female vocal/songwriting dynamic like that of Fleetwood Mac, lots of lush and soulful group harmonizing, acoustic instrumentation and an inherent nod to circus troupe weirdness. less

Track Name: Rover
I would but I'm just a rover
Tell your folks I'm coming over
Over
No worrying about what lies in store
The road is long and I just keep wanting more
And more and more
I'd like to get to know ya
But I can't I'm just a soldier
Soldier
So watch me as I sail away
Another hour to make another day
Day

Oh Molly dear you must surely know
This troubled heart is on the go
If I could I'd love you so
Sweet Molly dear I gotta go

No fence can keep me in
I don't wanna pay your rent
Rent
Keep my bags light to make a quick escape into the night
Night
I'm sorry dear but I can't do
Do what it is you need done to you
You
The sky is calling in love I'm falling
With the unknown oh
I don't know
Know

Oh Molly dear you must surely know
This troubled heart is on the go
If I could I'd love you so
Sweet Molly dear I gotta go
Track Name: People Talkin
I hear the people talking
(what do they all say?)
It's getting hard to believe anymore
Why should we pray

Your time is coming
(on your dying day)
Whatever yet you leave behind
Others will just take
Mm mm mm

You don't know what I'm thinking
(stop acting like you do)
You don't see what I see
You only see your truth
Mm mm mm

I hear the people talking
(what do they all say?)
Track Name: Little Ditty
Goin round the town on a Saturday night
Lookin for adventure and party lights
When
All of a sudden I stopped and stared
The finest little honey was standin there

I said ooh ooh ah ah
Never seen a man so fine
Ooh ooh ah ah
Wanna try to make him mine oh mine

With eyes so blue
A smile so wide
Arms so thick
And a nice backside
This is the man for me
This is the man for me
Track Name: Tricky Love
With one foot in the puddle
The other in the grave
No more of this nonsense
My dear I'm here to stay
My heart is in my hand
And it beats a tuen for you
But your back is in front
And you haven't got a clue

Love love love tricky love
Love love love tricky love
Love love love tricky love
Ooh ooh

Time and time again
I've made it very clear
I'm yours for the taking
I'm yours you silly dear
So buck up and shut up
And gimme some of you
I'll be your little darlin
I'll never be untrue

Love love love tricky love
Love love love tricky love
Love love love tricky love
Ooh ooh
