You guys are gonna have to sort that out up there
I don't know, they're like, "That's my hat!"
I'm like, "I know, there's ten"
Wow, all I can say is holy shit
That's real, that's real
No, seriously, we, uh
Like I said, I think it was 2019 that we did our last Winters of Beach
And it was at Mod Club and, uh
Obviously our rooms have expanded, our budget's gone up
We paid for the snow that came two days ago
That's true
So welcome to that
It's very on-brand with Winters of Beach
No, it's cool, you guys, honestly
This is absolutely wild
If you told us even three years ago
Because it has been the craziest three years, eh?
Eh
It has been the craziest three years
And the fact that this room is stuffed full of people
That I frickin' love is crazy
We played in, uh, Kitchener last night
And it felt like a lot of family was there
And tonight's just all friends
So this is the party, for sure
Make some noise, friends
It's a lot of friendly faces we see out in the crowd tonight
I love it, okay
Every single set we do
We were like, "Okay, Winters of Beach, right?
We need to bring some sunshine to everyone's world
Because the sun has been gone for like thirty days or something"
Bullshit
And so we're gonna bring a little bit of sunshine to you guys
It's kind of like a Reckloff thing to do
Is we play a medley of our favorite songs
So we're gonna play you our favorite beach medley
We're gonna bring the sun to you
But before we do
I know we're rowdy
We need to close our eyes
I want you to soak this in for a minute
I want you to pretend you're on a beach, okay?
Waves are crashing
You have a suntan and it's like hot
Like it's a really hot tan
I can almost hear the waves
And you're like four piña coladas deep
We'll call it five
Okay, five piña coladas deep
You're vibing really nicely
And then you hear something in the distance
And it's like
I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today (Hahaha)
Life is good today
Alright, you guys are gonna sing this whole thing, that's great
Alright, let's do it
I'll take a bit more guitar, please
Here we go
My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can't afford his gas, what?
So I'm stuck here (Watching TV)
Oh yeah
Uh
I don't have digital
I don't have diddly-squat
It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you got
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up (Lighten up, lighten up)
I'm gonna tell 'em that I've got no one to blame
'Cause every time I feel lame, I'm lookin' up
What is it? (I'm gonna soak up the sun)
Pour me something tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane (Woo)
It's only half-past twelve, but I don't care (What is it?)
'Cause why? (It's five o'clock somewhere)
Hahaha, yeah
This is the best part
I could pay off my tab, pour myself in a cab
And be back to work before two
At a moment like this, I can't help but wonder (What?)
What would Jimmy Buffett do?
What would Jimmy Buffett do, Stu? Haha
He'd probably be, uh
Nippin' on sponge cake
Watching the sun bake
All those tourists covered with oil
Miss Jen?
Strumming my six string
On my front porch swing
You smell those shrimp? They're beginning to boil
Alright, everybody, you know it
Here we go
Wasted awake in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's my own damn fault
Just a small town girl
Living in a lonely world
Haha, okay
I took the midnight train going anywhere
Oh, you sound hot
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
Took the midnight train going anywhere
Hahaha, okay
I took the midnight train going anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
I took the midnight train going anywhere
Oh, you sound hot
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
I took the midnight train going anywhere
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on (Let's hit it, go)
Strangers, waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night (Y'all sound good, keep going)
Don't stop, don't stop
Streetlights, people (I got this one)
Living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night
My Maria
Don't you know I've come a long, long way? (Come on)
I've been longing to see her
When she's around, she takes my blues away
Sweet Maria (How does he sing it? He goes, um)
The sunlight surely hurts my eyes (Hahahaha)
And the thought of you just takes me
I don't know the words
My peace of mind (Here we go) (Everybody)
My Maria
Stop (Sorry, I never know how to end it)
Maria, I love you (Stuart Walker)
One, two, three, yeah
Don't stop believing
Hold on to that feeling
Streetlights (Sing it)
People (Oh) (Let's do it again)
Do it again, come on (My Maria)
Don't stop believing
Hold on to that feeling (My Maria)
Streetlights, people
With my ass in the lawn chair
Toes in the clay
Not a worry in the world
A PBR on the way
Life is good today
History
Wasn't life friggin' good today? (Let's go)
