Lyrics :
gold rush town
west coast vibe
modern tech minds
tall vertical scene
I am the machine I am the pioneer
I’m the homeless man begging...
(Chorus)
I am the fog that won’t ever end
the grey that keeps giving
I am the windy sunny afternoon in a Pacific Heights June
I am Grace Cathedral singing in the Nob Hill Night
the song I play is Human Rights
I am the sailboat on the bay blue and gold on the run
I am the happy tourists on Tony Bennett street by the Fairmont Hotel
I am that one Night in North Beach when you accidentally fell in love,
I am Noir I am Grit I am Crypto I am the kid who Skateboards at midnight down the Mason Street Grid
(Chorus)
I am the fog that won’t ever end
the grey that keeps giving
I am the windy sunny afternoon in a pacific heights June
I am Grace Cathedral singing in the Nob Hill Night the song I play is Human Rights
I am Friday night in the Castro
I am Sunday morning breakfast at the Ferry building watching you smile
I am the elegant night at the Symphony in November
I am Pride I am Strong I will always remember
(Chorus)
I am the fog that won’t ever end
the grey that keeps giving
I am the windy sunny afternoon in a pacific heights June
I am Grace Cathedral singing in the Nob Hill Night the song I play is
Human Rights

A Night To Remember by Nicholas Vitale
There is still some mic hiss from my analog set up in the living room - I'll fix it - but it does go well with the 1970's theme. N.V.

CROW / NEW MEXICO
An Exploration of Crow's and my time in New Mexico.
This first edition is very raw in the audio, bit of hiss from the old Tascam and Tube amp and one notification sound blasting from my phone - yet I left it in. In this age of everything being pristine and glamourous here is a bit of 'real living room' vibe my dog might have barked in the background but you'll get past all that to the words...the grit.
My next Episode will be more refined so lets enjoy the roughness of this one! N.V.
