about

A very clean cut indie rock sound that is well crafted with many classics of the genre in mind; featuring a Jangly, spirited, straight-forward melodic drive that lyrically asks the question "what if I had a time machine?" All instruments and vocals performed by Jim Pellinger.

lyrics

Where was my crystal ball? (Where was my crystal ball)
Where was my future me? (Where was my future me)
Come back to warn me to run, run, run
As fast as you can go (As fast as you can go)
Don't even ask me why (Don't even ask me why)
Just do it, just do it, stupid
For both of our sakes

Yeah, I understand jetpacks are impractical
And really, I am fine here on the ground
But what about a time machine?
Is that too much to ask?
I'll just have to stay until someone invents an app
Can't be much longer
Those guys aresmart

Well someone must be sane (Someone must be sane)
I guess it must be me (I guess it must be me)
I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it
Even if it drives me crazy
Well ain't the weather funny? (Ain't the weather fun)
Though I don't see a clown in the sky (No clown in the sky)
I'm sorry to say, that's what amuses me nowadays

And yeah I understand jetpacks are impractical
And really I am fine here on the ground
But what about a time machine?
Is that too much to ask?
I'll just have to stay until someone invents an app
Can't be much longer, those guys are smart

Yeah those guys are smart
Those guys are smart

Oh yea, another day (Yea another day)
Of hiding under gun (Hiding under gun)
The trouble is you never know where the shots will come from
Where was my crystal ball? (Where was my crystal ball)
Where was my future me? (Where was my future me)
Come back to warn me to run, run, run

I'll do it , I'll do it, I'll do it
I'll do it yeah....

Jim Pellinger Minneapolis, Minnesota

Singer-songwriter Jim Pellinger’s music charts a course set by his influences, the Beatles, first and foremost. But as a reviewer noted, “His sound and method are that of, say, Tom Petty or maybe Elvis Costello albeit he sounds like neither.” Another reviewer of Jim’s first release heard “strains of John Hiatt, Squeeze, R.E.M., and a little bit of Simon and Garfunkel within Jim’s songs” ... more
