“So Wrong” was written by Vince Charming, music produced by VC & Steve Lussie, video filmed & edited by George Anderson.<\/span><\/p>\n

“So Wrong” is pretty straight up….it’s about that amazing dichotomy of being with someone and simultaneously knowing it’s so wrong…while all the time it feels so right…if you’ve been there…you know…if you haven’t…well my friend, I wish that you never have to experience it. I wrote this to be sort of Outlaw Country and my original demo had that feel. The band transformed it into some sort of ’80’s proto-punk rock song…my vocals are all that’s left of my original demo!<\/span><\/p>\n

So Wrong<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n


How can something be so wrong, but feel so totally right?<\/span>
I got a feeling and it’s strong, but it’s keeping me up at night<\/span>
It’s a \u00a0feeling that I have to fight \u2026keeping me up at night…<\/span>
How can something be so wrong, but feel so totally right?<\/span><\/p>\n

You say your heart\u2019s been broken, you need space<\/span>
So you just want to be friends<\/span>
But then you put your arms around me <\/span>
And none of that makes sense<\/span>
Oh, my heart\u2019s a pumping going boom boom boom<\/span>
My heads starts spinning all around the room<\/span>
Feeling like I\u2019m lost in a country song-it\u2019s all wrong!<\/span><\/p>\n

How can something be so wrong, but feel so totally right?<\/span>
I got a feeling and it’s strong, but it’s keeping me up at night<\/span>
It’s taking me to new heights \u2026keeping me up at night…<\/span>
How can something be so wrong, but feel so totally right?<\/span><\/p>\n

It might be true, I\u2019m bad for you <\/span>
For all of my sinful ways<\/span>
But do you get a hollow feeling in your heart<\/span>
When you haven\u2019t seen me for days?<\/span>
Do you hear the drums beating going boom boom boom?<\/span>
You smell the jasmine now that it\u2019s in bloom<\/span>
Oh how well we get along-but it\u2019s wrong!<\/span><\/p>\n

Folks are saying I\u2019m too old for you <\/span>
And you\u2019re too wild & crazy for me<\/span>
My friends say, \u201cShe\u2019ll leave you blue<\/span>
How can you not see?\u201d<\/span>
But when I\u2019m walking holding your hand<\/span>
A happy feeling to beat the band<\/span>
I\u2019m wrong for you, you\u2019re wrong for me<\/span>
Doesn\u2019t matter-don\u2019t you see<\/span><\/p>\n

How can something be so wrong, but feel so totally right?<\/span>
My love for you is oh so strong; it\u2019s keeping me up at night<\/span>
A feeling that I have to fight <\/span>
Taking me to new heights<\/span>
Keeping me up at night<\/span>
Keeping me up at night<\/span>
How can something be so wrong, but feel so totally right?<\/span><\/p>\n

“Wired That Way” was written by Vince Charming, music produced by VC & Steve Lussie, video filmed & edited by George Anderson.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Wired That Way”started out as a song about me…I wrote the first chorus and knew immediately it wasn’t about me at all. I’m a fan of the teachings of Christ, but I really don’t care for hypocritical Christians…who are the target of this song…if there’s one thing I’ve learned in over 6 decades on this planet…it’s that love is truly the answer!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wired that Way<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

How does who I love affect you?<\/span>
How does it change your life<\/span>
Why does who loves me hurt you?<\/span>
Why does it cut you like a knife?<\/span>
It shouldn\u2019t matter anyway<\/span>
It\u2019s just because I\u2019m wired that way<\/span><\/p>\n

You sent a Christmas card holding A.R. 15’s <\/span>
But think the world is in peril from book toting drag queens<\/span>
Children gunned down, I can hear they\u2019re screams<\/span>
But you\u2019d rather hate that\u2019s how it seems\u2026to me<\/span><\/p>\n

How does how I dress affect you?<\/span>
How does it change your life<\/span>
Why does makeup on a face hurt you?<\/span>
Why does it cut you like a knife?<\/span>
It shouldn\u2019t matter how I display<\/span>
It\u2019s just because we\u2019re wired that way<\/span><\/p>\n

The planet\u2019s dying, just like Al said<\/span>
But you rather see all of us dead<\/span>
Didn\u2019t the Son say to love one another<\/span>
All the sisters and all the brothers\u2026are we<\/span><\/p>\n

Every Sunday you\u2019re all praying, but forget what the Savior spoke<\/span>
\u201cBlessed are those who are persecuted\u201d Did you write that off as woke?<\/span>
So many permutations of human, trying to rise above the fray<\/span>
So many weary souls tired of explaining it\u2019s just because they\u2019re wired that way<\/span><\/p>\n

How does who I love affect you?<\/span>
How does it change your life<\/span>
Why does who loves me hurt you?<\/span>
Why does it cut you like a knife?<\/span>
It\u2019s not grooming, it\u2019s not a gateway<\/span>
It\u2019s just because we\u2019re wired that way<\/span><\/p>\n

“Vince’s #12 Dream” was written by Vince Charming, music produced by VC & Steve Lussie, video filmed & edited by George Anderson<\/span><\/p>\n

My #12 Dream is a love song about a night so magical…it seemed like a dream…and yet…can a dream so sweet become real? Unlike most of the songs I’ve written in the past two years which I wrote on my Martin HD28…this one was written on my Moserite acoustic…which is what I wrote almost all my songs on starting in 1990! The band really made this song come alive and audiences at our live shows and online have gravitated towards this which warms my heart!<\/span><\/p>\n

Vince\u2019s #12 Dream<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Last night I had a dream<\/span>
Blue- grey eyes shining-a gleam<\/span>
All of my shyness melting away<\/span>
A scent so sweet-a sterling rose bouquet<\/span>
Now by the light of day I wonder<\/span>
Was it a dream or am I slipping under?<\/span><\/p>\n

Last night I had a dream<\/span>
Joy coursing through my bloodstream<\/span>
Safe in the warmth of your embrace<\/span>
Didn\u2019t want to be any other place<\/span>
Now I\u2019m awake and alone<\/span>
Wanting the dream to go on and on<\/span><\/p>\n

Am I awake or am I asleep?<\/span>
Aware of what\u2019s real or deluded deep<\/span>
Nothing I want more than to believe<\/span>
If this isn\u2019t real I\u2019ll be the first to leave<\/span>
But you know how much I love dreaming<\/span><\/p>\n

Last night I had a dream<\/span>
Elation to the extreme<\/span>
Holding hands and your sparkling eyes<\/span>
Hoping the feeling never dies<\/span>
Now it\u2019s a new day and I\u2019m alone<\/span>
Dreaming up a life I\u2019ve been shown<\/span><\/p>\n

Last night I had a dream\u2026.<\/span>
Last night you were my dream<\/span>
Last night you were a dream\u2026<\/span>
Last night I had a dream<\/span><\/p>\n

“Never Looked Back” was written by Vince Charming, music produced by VC & Steve Lussie, video filmed & edited by George Anderson<\/span><\/p>\n

“Never Looked Back” was my attempt to write a song from a new perspective. So often my songs are about me looking back at a situation…I wondered how it would be different from a certain woman’s perspective…and I realized the key for her was that she never looked back! I wrote this completely with the band in mind and they play it exactly how I imagined they would…all the way to Steve’s mesmerizing solo and Rick’s super cool groove!<\/span><\/p>\n

Never Looked Back<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It was one magical summer; she thought she\u2019d met the love of her life <\/span>
He was a long haired guitar player who wrote her songs both dark and light <\/span>
She told him her darkest secrets <\/span>
Opened the vein of all her pain<\/span>
He gave her his hand to hold on to<\/span>
\u2018Til she left on the airplane<\/span><\/p>\n

But she never looked back<\/span>
Oh she never looked back\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

In the middle of a recent summer she met a man who understood <\/span>
How she couldn\u2019t be defined by the scars of her childhood<\/span>
She gave him her hand to hold on to<\/span>
A fit just like a glove<\/span>
She thought he knew just what they were<\/span>
\u2018Til he went and fell in love<\/span><\/p>\n

So she never looked back<\/span>
Oh she never looked back\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

She had to get on with her life <\/span>
No value in what\u2019s behind<\/span>
She\u2019d never last long as someone\u2019s wife<\/span>
She could never be that confined<\/span>
So she kept on walking a winding path<\/span>
Leaving wreckage in a stack<\/span>
Never paid any mind to the aftermath<\/span>
Yeah, she always stayed on track<\/span>
Because she never looked back<\/span><\/p>\n

Somewhere near San Francisco on a hill by a boulder <\/span>
A man stands facing the ocean looking over his shoulder <\/span>
But she never looked back!<\/span><\/p>\n
