about

Well known for their catchy tunes and energetic live shows, Voodoo Visionary’s first single of 2019 checks all the boxes. A strong introduction for new bassist, Trent Gilson, this song gives the first glimpse into the band’s evolving sound. It comes as the first of a group of three singles recorded earlier this year marking the last recordings with founding keyboardist Dennis Dowd. They are also some of the last songs co-written with founding bassist Jimmy Lynch. Voodoo Visionary introduced Marcus White as their new keyboardist in January, and if you have seen any of their live shows this year, you can tell the band hasn’t missed a single beat. “Rings Around the Sun” reminds fans new and old that Voodoo Visionary is here for a good time AND a long time. A feel-good composition, the audience can see the combined strength of each player come together with chemistry from beyond the ordinary realm. “Rings Around the Sun” is the perfect song to help you float through the end of summer, and its lyrics remind us to take time to appreciate the joys in life.

lyrics

When I first saw you
I had to shade my eyes
As I came to greet you
This feeling overwhelms my insides
The suns gonna burn
Brighter in the day light
With each passing turn
Bringing day to night

Can you take the time to find the ring
Find the ring around the sun
Can you take the time to find the ring
Find the ring around the sun
Find the ring around the sun
Find the ring around the sun

Standing in the midday sun
Your presence caught my eye
I asked for you later let's have some fun
As we danced I felt the romance
The suns gonna burn
Brighter in the moon light
With each passing turn
Bringing day to night

Can you take the time to find the ring
Find the ring around the sun
Can you take the time to find the ring
Find the ring around the sun
Find the ring around the sun
Find the ring around the sun

The suns gonna burn tonight
We're here to make it alright
Moving with me body moving
Sing it with me while you're grooving
The time to move is now
We're here to show you how
In the absence of the sun
We're gonna dance and have some fun

In this hot hot heat
The light comes from within
The tension is risen
Even before we begin
The suns gonna burn
Brighter by your side
With each passing turn
Our bodies collide

Can you take the time to find the ring
Find the ring around the sun
Can you take the time to find the ring
Find the ring around the sun
Find the ring around the sun
Find the ring around the sun

The suns gonna burn tonight
We're here to make it alright
Moving with me body moving
Sing it with me while you're grooving
The time to move is now
We're here to show you how
In the absence of the sun
We're gonna dance and have some fun
