Jeffrey Lewis and the Junkyard - “Roll Bus Roll” (8.92MB mp3 file)
I was lucky enough to spend two weeks in Australia last month; the first week was for work, and the second week was spent in Melbourne and beyond with my buddy Darren Hanlon. He was on tour, and I joined him and his lovely band for the last few shows, two of which were at the Port Fairy Folk Festival in beautiful Port Fairy, Australia.
They took a slight detour to pick me up from Avalon Airport one afternoon, where I joined them in their tour van for the few hours left on the journey to Port Fairy. Shelley, in the front seat and therefore in charge of the iPod, pressed play on this song and everyone cheered. I had never heard it before, but I had a bit of an “Almost Famous” tour bus moment as I sat and watched everyone sing along, bobbing my head and smiling while we drove through the beautiful Australian countryside.
Songs That Saved Your Life
don't forget the songs
that made you cry
and the songs that saved your life
yes, you're older now
and you're a clever swine
but they were the only ones who ever stood by you
I'm April. I like music.
