LYRICS:
Knock on the door
Open the invitation
Lookin' out for
A lemonade situation
Hold out your hand
It's a lemonade stand
You see?
Thousands of years
Stuck to the ocean bottom
Out of the blue
Dayton, Ohio's callin'
Next thing we knew
Man on the moon
You see?
Here comes the hurricane
It's blowin', babe
And there goes the automobile
Don't be the horse and buggy
Be the wheel
Watch the old ways
Fight for survival under
Solemnly sworn
Hands on the Bible, while the
Continents dance
Over the sands of time
Back at the ranch
Look for the Golden Teacher
Lie in the grass
Next to the water feature
Listen in close
Maybe take notes?
Just sayin...
I'm just sayin...
Here comes the hurricane
It's blowin', babe
And there goes the automobile
Don't be the horse and buggy
Don't be the horse and buggy
Don't be the next best somethin'
Don't be the second comin'
Just be that holy one thing:
Be the wheel - เพลง

I’d like to buy your new songs but I don’t have any vinyl player. I know maybe it’s a shame to listen only cds or youtube videos….Pour le moment c’est comme ça je suis à la retraite et je suis triste de ne pouvoir vous écouter ainsi que Vulpeck and the other friends of yours. En tout cas Bravo. Je vous adore 💕
Bro imma need a plain but stylish BE THE WHEEL t shirt. Love that phrase and what it means
YESS BRO. amazing song 10/10
I mean,....the whole album
Theo's music is just instantly classified as classics when they enter my brain database. Joe doesn't make things worse.
Yes instantly
Joe is my spirit animal
the amount of talent that has come from every vulfpeck member in their solo work is actually insane
You're probably my favorite songwriter out there. Fantastic musician, hell of a lyricist. Thanks for doing what you do. :)
can we just appreciate the dynamic skill it takes for Jordan Rose to play RIGHT NEXT TO THEO SINGING and still sound amazing
The fact that you can hear *anything* other than drums is kind of unreal, given that his live vocal appears to be the *final* vocal. Plus it looks like they recorded the lead vocal and the piano with the same ribbon mic, to a single track. Without headphones, so Theo just had to sing and play at a balanced volume based on the sound in the room. Really had their work cut out for them.
I want to have Jordan Rose’s baby
@@joshuajohnston2317 Okay joshua, we might be getting a little ambitious here
He has a mic it is not that crazy
I'm kinda thinking it was tracked and then re-performed for a video. My hypothesis based on hi hat volume with no top mic nearby at 1:07 and it looks like Theo stops singing at 2:51. Plus we're hearing that organ in the corner but nobody is playing it. Also backup vocals etc. I will say though I've seen them live several times and they're just as good... No doubt. I'll have to ask Jordan if/when I get a lesson when he comes out.
Theo just keeps delivering the goodest of goods
Theo is such an inspiring musician and songwriter. Love the Michael McDonald piano vibe to this one and it’s one hell off a vocal performance. Can’t wait for the rest of the album!
every single day I get more obsessed with Theo's stuff without even meaning to. I just draws me in and keeps me coming back
It's so cool that all the Vulf gang have really distinct styles of their own in their solo projects, while Vulf is still its distinct thing.
I remember just discovering Theo as a member of Vulfpeck in 2016, seeing him jumping around between so many instruments AND providing a lot of lead vocals too. I think his lyrics might be the most inspiring of all his work for me though. So uplifting and serious, without losing sight of having a little fun too.
Theo, you are one of the best at expressing the unfiltered chaos of life through song.
Totally agree ! And I've also discovered him and his amazing music after seeing Vulfpeck live in Dublin in 2016. 😊
Another Masterpiece. Theo IS IT! It’s funny that he hasn’t blown up even more. The next Elton John/Bernie mix. Don’t need two when you have THE KID, THEO!
@@DaveCraterMusicdude I saw him in Portland before covid, unfamiliar with his work outside of Vulfpeck and left knowing I’d just seen something as important as Elton John. No exaggeration. Modern Johnny Sings got me through the pandemic and now all of his music walks with me in life.
Unbelievable performance here. He finished the entire song in just under 3:50. Not just a personal best - an undisputed world record.
Theo has the ability to get 3:50 into about 2:30. He really is this generations's Speedy Gonzalez.
This one's going on repeat!
Listened to this like 30 times already today, I just can't stop
Theo, you're the king of songwriting. Love the chorus!
All killer, no filler, every time.
Jordan Rose and Joe Dart are the best rhythm section there is. amazing
Schvitz sauna/studio vibes, awesome team, doggo chilling in the background, cozy blanket to muffle piano (what a move!) - all the things we have not asked for, but truly appreciate. Theo's at it again, and it's sooooo mellow (sticking to 'don't be the next best something')
Love the muted upright piano vibes too! Helped perfectly balance every instrument. So good.
must be so nice to be Rivers
It's crazy how incredible this is. Flawless.
2:25 ii - iii - IV - V (expecting a I) - flatVII (huh??) - IV - I (ah, there it is!) - flatVI (wh-) - IV - V (okay...) - VI (wait-) - ii (yeah! back to the chorus progression, nice)
I'm convinced Theo wrote this chord progression just so he could play a flat VI, natural VI, and flatVII within the span of 8 bars, while somehow still making some tonal sense. absolutely obsessed, I love it.
(worth mentioning: my notation left out the extensions. there's definitely lots of 7ths and 9ths in there - the VI aka V/ii definitely has a 7th, for example - but I don't feel like annotating them all lol)
🙏 appreciate this
Lovely stuff. I also love the suggestion of a minor plagal cadence in the verses, substituted with bVII. So rich. 0:46
Amazing progression, I love the changes!👍👍
@@dominicocallaghan sure is lovely! The first covers of this song I heard, they didn't do the bVII :D that's why listening to Theo himself play this one is a gem!
Theo, Jordan, and Joe. UN-DE-FEATED
Theo's tunes are so effortlessly catchy. I can hear some of the "formulas" he uses but still it always feels fresh.
Raw and unbounded talent. What a triumph. I am so glad you get to do this full time.
This is my favorite song of 2023. I sing it every day. It was an instant "forever remember" song the very 1st time I ever heard it. Theo is really a master songwriter. My favorite moment is at 2:47 when he goes "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah" with the talkbox effect on his vocals. It sounds just like the beginning to the classic Stevie Wonder song "Love Having You Around". This whole record is such an accomplishment and proves what a talent he is. I hope Theo's star continues to rise.
The chorus is so soothing!
I Missed you Theo! Thanks for the amazing music! Can´t wait to hear the full album!
Always excited when a new song arrives and you deliver every time. Such a joy!
Everything about this song is 100% class. When that hook hits… 🤦♂️ smacks you in the face, it’s so gooooooood.
This entire album is fucking amazing. 5 watt rocks the best song and one of my all time favorite songs period of all time
I remember seeing Theo on stage with My Dear Disco in 2009 and knowing he would be a star. Once in a lifetime energy right here. This song is beautiful, thank you Theo 💜
Awesome vibes!!!!
This was playing on repeat in my brain after just one listen. It's that catchy. Thanks, Theo!
love the sound of that piano!!!
wow wow
yayyyy, couldn’t wait for this to come out. the piano sounds awesome. you guys are all sounding great!! ❤️
Never imagined my hometown, Dayton, Ohio, would be mentioned in one of Theo's song. This is pure gold.
Theo Katzman. Everything you make turns to gold in my ears. Thank you and the gang for making all this wonderful music for the rest of us to experience.
Sublime.. Theo and Joe... Wahouuuu 🥰🥰🥰 J'adore
