“Flip Back Friday” Album Rewind Vol. 9
Welcome to the Fishbowl
The Sandbar Says…
Connie… This album has one of my favorite songs on it…”Come Over”. From the song to the video, I just love it! I have a very fond memory from 2012, Vegas and Kenny having us sing the ending till we just couldn’t go on any longer. We literally sang just the end for 3 minutes together with him. It was Amazing! Needless to say I could barely speak the next day!
“You can say we’re done the way you always do
It’s easier to lie to me than to yourself
Forget about your friends, you know they’re gonna say
We’re bad for each other, but we ain’t good for anyone else
I told you I wouldn’t call, I told you I wouldn’t care
But baby climbing the walls gets me nowhere
I don’t think that I can take this bed getting any colder
Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over”
Michelle… El Cerrito Place: Kenny’s vocals on this song literally take my breath away when I hear it. You can hear the desperation in his voice when he sings the last verses of the song and it just gets me all the way to my bones. He is so incredibly talented and I wish this song would have been a bigger hit because it’s pure perfection!
So I’ve been out here all night lookin’ for your footprints in the sand
Think I’ll go back to the city, back to El Cerrito Place
That’s the last time that I saw that pretty smile upon your face
I’ve been lookin’ for you baby”
