Take me back to times when things were fine and I didn't know that I had inside all these thoughts that would grow and I didn't have to go it alone. All these people wearing suits and ties and claiming the street moving fast to find a way without using their feet you moving ahead or are you falling asleep. This dreamer's not gone but sometimes these nights I feel alone like I'm the only one that's left to try, Let's make something new. You can't live here unless you bet the big blind or pitch your tent, and it's the sign of the times the city of love became the city of dying well that's alright I'm alive. This dreamer's not gone but sometimes these nights I feel alone like I'm the only one that's left to try. A new design in such short time who's construct dismantled a culture that made it exciting for you to come here and start your own comfy life but the architects and the ones that lay bricks can't seem to find enough money to stay here when a city become a private club but there's still light and they will shine. This dreamer's not gone but sometimes these nights I feel alone like I'm the only one that's left to try, Let's make something new.

The door swings back and in comes the breeze cold as ice with a Tambourine words cocked back like a shotgun but she don't need to use them ain't here for your fun, and I said... You need some help coming off the street? didn't even break a stride eyes like a do or die and I tried and I tried and to look away I tried and I tried and but I can't just seem to look away. She took the stage sharpened eyes a purple leg from the tambourine at her side drag from a cigarette had the room like a magnet thousands of people could be watching her but she don't bat an eye and she smiled with a wink and took my guitar and told me to not get In the way, look out! She rips the room the tables fly they can't believe believe their eyes Don't get in the way of the Girl with the Tambourine.

Talk to Me 02:45
All it takes is conversation but I never learned to talk till I met you the songs were on the station but I only knew better but to follow suit Then you came along when I was so far gone and a new life that seemed impossible was here Talk to me baby cuz I could hear you talk all night long Your words are spoke from miles away but I could drive all night just to hear you say my name again, my love your more than i deserve your words they calm my nerves Talk to me baby cuz I could hear you talk all night long

Calle 03:24
Pour water on the dust it still dries out in the heat you fill the potholes still on a one way street take a look around live wires they hang like vines the streets become a battlefield a moment that's lost in time And the prices seem to rise the people they pay with lives cuz you can eat gas as the tanks roll past your blinded eyes and families are torn apart just looking for a place to start a doctor with no medicine an innocent that's turn to crime. The Calles of the world are on fire again there's no time for it the Calles of the world they're on fire again burn bright today burn bright We stand tall and your time's through The Calles of the world they're on fire again. there's no time for it the Calles of the world they're on fire again burn bright today burn bright

Nice Life 03:17
When your hearts stops I hope that I'm there to offer you some peace at least to show you someone cared because the times that we choose always seem to refuse a life can change with a phone call the next day ain't what you knew It came on fast sometimes you see it coming the world world was your ocean and I was working at a restaurant your spark gave us the fire living dreams nice life I'll find a way to keep you by my side you're always here you will never die with me you grow you've done so much for me you'll never know And yet these days go flying by but you are all I need just to keep my speed not let another year go by and if my dreams could me one thing it's keeping your vibe alive I'll always play a song for you his train go flying by I'll find a way to keep you by my side you're always here you will never die with me you grow you've done so much for me you'll never know

about

“Manzanillo St.” is the second full length from Josh Lippi & The Overtimers. The album began while Josh was living in Mexico City. For weeks Josh was living in a small apartment and would walk through the city. One of the streets he walked on was Manzanillo St. and the characters and environment would inspire many of the songs and artwork for the album. Borrowing time from a friend’s small studio and recording in the living room of his apartment, the basics for the album took shape. For most of the year Lippi was touring the world working for other artists and would continue to write in the backstages of clubs, vans, tour busses and planes. On a break between tours Josh pulled a four day stand at the legendary Different Fur studios in San Francisco, CA, literally sleeping on the couch in the control room and put all the pieces together to complete the record. "Manzanillo St.” is a further exploration into Lippi's Rock & Roll influences, drawing inspirations from early Brit Rock, 50’s doo-wop, Mexican culture, social struggles, observations of life on the road and the changes at his home. Taking on most of the instruments himself and releasing the record on his own Truth Music Label, Josh Lippi & The Overtimers emote the energy and spirit of DIY rock & roll, putting in the overtime work to get things done independently.



「Manzanillo St.」は、トミー・ゲレロのツアーメンバーであり、ブラックトップ・プロジェクトのメンバーとしても活動する、ジョシュ・リッピ&ザ・オーバータイマーズのセカンドアルバム。アルバム制作は、ジョシュがメキシコシティに滞在している時に開始した。彼は数週間にわたって小さなアパートで暮らしながら、町中を歩き回ったという。タイトルのマンザニーヨ通りは彼が歩いたストリートで、そこで出会った人々、風景、環境が、アルバムの楽曲やアートワークのインスピレーションになった。

友人の小さなホームスタジオと自身のアパートのリビングルームでアルバムの基礎を作り上げたジョシュは、その後の1年間、様々なアーティストと世界中を飛び回った。ツアー中は、クラブの楽屋、バンやツアーバスの車内、さらには飛行機の中で曲作りを続行。最終的にはサンフランシスコの伝説的スタジオ、Different
Furに4日間こもってレコーディングに没頭し、コントロールルームのソファで寝泊まりしながら作品を完成させた。

「Manzanillo St.」は、ジョシュが受けたロックからの影響をさらに探究したアルバムで、初期のブリットロックや50年代のドゥワップ、メキシカンカルチャー、社会問題、ツアー体験、ホームタウンであるサンフランシスコの変化などにインスパイアされている。ほぼすべての楽器を彼が自ら演奏し、自身のTruth
Music Labelからリリースされる本作は、DIYロックンロール精神とエネルギーが詰まった傑作だ。
