Lyrics:
Summer came and I lost my shoes.
Purple gold linens, pressed them down in the basement.
And if you don't know or see them clouds,
Will step to the sky and wind down.
Tell me what you know, tell me what we get,
Tell me where we go then tell me when you come back around.

Calm will find your soul.
Those tired lonely lips dragged him down to the train tracks.
Calm will find your soul.
Left them purple gold lids sittin' down in the basement.
Calm will find your soul.
And if we die here will we ever be back again?
Calm will find your soul.
Dawn was likely lined in the coming of men
That shuffled, slithered legs 'til they knew how to stand.

Every time I grow I know I'll never change,
Because the liver tree sways, but I knows he'll never find me.
I know my problems and know where they lay.
Tell me what you know, tell me what we get,
Tell me where we go then tell me when you come back around.

Calm will find your soul.
Those tired lonely lips dragged him down to the train tracks.
Calm will find your soul.
Left them purple gold lids sittin' down in the basement.
Calm will find your soul.
And if we die here will we ever be back again?
Calm will find your soul.
Dawn was likely lined in the coming of men
That shuffled, slithered legs 'til they knew how to stand.

My brother's busy laughing at the end of the hall,
Said "That man's not a doctor if he cures no cancer".
Placed in the back where there are no dancers,
Crooked steps, diamonds and a bag housing answers.

I step to sky and wind down.
Tell me what you know, tell me what we get,
Tell me where we go then tell me when you come back around.

Calm will find your soul.
Those tired lonely lips dragged him down to the train tracks.
Calm will find your soul.
Left them purple gold lids sittin' down in the basement.
Calm will find your soul.
And if we die here will we ever be back again?
Calm will find your soul.
Dawn was likely lined in the coming of men
That shuffled, slithered legs 'til they knew how to stand.

Portugal. The Man took 2017 by the horns after a considerably long gap, between records. They spent years working on an album called Gloomin + Doomin before later developing what would become known as their latest studio album WOODSTOCK. Fate struck lead singer, John Gourley, twice. First, John got some parental tough love from his old man. “What’s taking so long to finish the album?,” John’s dad asked. “Isn’t that what bands do? Write songs and then put them out?” The whole thing got John thinking about why the band seemed to be stuck on a musical elliptical machine from hell and more importantly, about how to get off of it. Second, John found his dad’s ticket stub from the original 1969 Woodstock music festival, which ultimately knocked something loose in his head. He realized that, in the same tradition of bands from that era, Portugal. The Man needed to speak out about the world crumbling around them.

With these two ideas converging, the band made a seemingly bat-shit-crazy decision: they took all of the work they had done for the three years prior and threw it out. The band went back to the studio – working with John Hill, Danger Mouse and longtime collaborator Casey Bates. In this new-found creative territory, the album that became WOODSTOCK rolled out naturally from there. Fast forward to present day and it was impossible to escape the album’s first single “Feel It Still,” which dominated the charts and radio airwaves in 2017. The 6X Platinum Certified hit reigned at #1 at nearly all radio formats, including Top 40, as well as Alternative, where the song held the chart’s top spot for a mind-blowing 20 weeks, breaking the record for most weeks at #1. Yes, you read that right. 5 guys from Wasilla, Alaska who have played nearly 1,500 shows in their career broke Alternative radio records and had a #1 song at Pop radio. Billboard Magazine even went as far as to call the song, “the unexpected rock crossover hit of 2017,” while Rolling Stone listed it as “one of the best songs of 2017.” AND THEN…the band kicked off 2018 by winning a GRAMMY Award for “Feel It Still.” WOODSTOCK has since been certified gold, as has their second single “Live In The Moment”.
