Albuquerque is a modern indie pop song about a person's mysterious experience in a beautiful and strange city, with elements of pop, rock, and americana, with an upbeat forward driving rhythm and powerful harmonic chorus.
lyrics
Albuquerque
Oh, Oh, feel so fine, I woke up
To remember life in a distant time, when I was
Oh, Oh, driving alone through the west
In all the sunshine and the windy roads, I said
Oh, Oh, had to stop because I
Thought that I met God on a mountain top
Oh, Oh, on the ground I returned
When I got there he was nowhere to be found
I was lost in the desert
Heard the Sun when it whispered
I was trying to find myself, but I wasn’t there
I must have been somewhere else
I must have been somewhere else
Oh, oh, she took me in
In a city where the people get to know their friends, the scent of
Oh, oh, sage in the air
And the colors of the dreams are brighter there, I said
Oh, oh, time moves slow when
You don’t have anywhere to go
Oh, oh, I survived, the days and
The nights were long, but the skies were wide
I was lost in the desert
Heard the Sun when it whispered
I was trying to find myself, but I wasn’t there
I must have been somewhere else
I must have been somewhere else
Oh, oh, I can’t pretend, I took one
Look at your face and it was the end, you didn’t
Oh, oh, like me quite enough
But I was innocent and we were young, I said
Oh, oh, took my time, I had to
Save up the money to get out alive, but you can
Oh, oh, find true love
In a city where nobody has to be someone
I was lost in the desert
Heard the Sun when it whispered
I was trying to find myself, but I wasn’t there
I must have been somewhere else
I must have been somewhere else
I must have been somewhere else
I must have been somewhere else
