about
Crown Plaza is a composition from twelve-string guitarist and keyboard player, Joe Lawless. The other half of The Laissez Fairs, John Fallon, provides the grit with plenty of White Album inspired, Gibson SG -- along with the drums, bass guitar, and backing vocals. Recorded and mixed at Lawless Noise and Visions, "Crown Plaza" is perfect for lovers of sixties-tinged psych pop in the vein of The Beatles, The Hollies, The Byrds, and The Rolling Stones.
lyrics
It’s just like I told ya, no one’s trying to fool her, baby.
Right there in front of you.
It’s just like I told ya, she could see with her own two eyes
If she’d open them wide.
She’s saying she can’t believe
It’s a mystery to me, why
She’d go any other way but up
She takes me down, wears the crown, now
It’s just like I told ya, stand back, cool it for awhile.
Have some of this drink.
It’s just like I told ya, no one’s gotta be wrong or right
Once she decides
She’s saying she can’t believe
It’s a mystery to me, why
She’d go any other way but up
She’ll burn the crown plaza down, now
Come on have a little faith
Have a little bit
Life could be so sweet

An elegantly artistic psych/folk album that impresses with its heartfelt delivery, musicality and desire to offer something mature in its messaging. These relaxing and yet highly intriguing arrangements provide something for almost any listener of the genre. Michael Reilly
