Last night I saw it, the crowd and the sweat
The lights in my eyes and the warmth in my chest
The theater walls held murals of gods
And their gold paint was peeling from years of applause
Oh I want to go back to the way it was
Before we had distance between us
Six feet changes the way it was
Handshakes and hugs in a crowded space
Dancing with strangers and holding up beers
Tapping on shoulders and whispering in ears
We were clapping together like one big heartbeat
And the rhythm connected our souls with our feet
And we stomped and we sang feeling fearless and free
Before we had distance between us
Six feet changes the way it was
Handshakes and hugs in a crowded space
Dancing with strangers and holding up beers
Tapping on shoulders and whispering in ears
Was taken for granted all these years
And you were there swaying to the words I cried
And I woke in my bedroom with the sun in my eyes
And my walls all have posters of the once endless ride
And I picked up my guitar to write
Six feet changes the way it was
Handshakes and hugs in a crowded space
Dancing with strangers and holding up beers
Tapping on shoulders and whispering in ears
Was taken for granted all these years
All these years
All these years

I've played a few songs from this album on The Compendium. Vanessa Peters is a terrific songwriter, whose music always feels hopeful even when the subject of the songs is less so. followjohnreed
It's been like several re-listens and binges of this album since 2020 that I can still come back to and proudly say that this was an album I will personally call one of my favorites of all time.
Wonderfully crafted & ambitious dream pop wearing its 60s influence on its sleeve with sheer delight, Wake UP! has been an album that I have no shame in saying it saved my life. No other album I can say I love can say that did it for me, capturing both the anxieties and joys of life, in spite of it. christiancruz8184
