Hot Soft Light Lyrics


I was not involved up at the Northtown mall
As a matter of fact I didn't even know that that's where it happened
I was France Ave when they came out dancing, I was Lyndale South, I was kicking it with cousins
We were talking about going clubbing but instead we just started drinking
I've been straight since the Cinco de Mayo
But before that I was blotto, I was blacked out
I was cracked out, I was caved in
You should have seen all these portals that I've powered up in
We started recreational
It ended kinda medical
It came on hot and soft
And then it tightened up its tentacles
I wasn't there
I was blind, high, I was scared
I was lake and Columbus, I was cutting off all my hair

I was unfurling a flag of defiance aimed at my guidance guy
So this is it
This is the end of the session
I ain't gonna be taking any more questions
I think my attorney's gonna second that notion
It started recreational
It ended kinda medical
It came on hot and soft
And then it tightened up its tentacles
The band played screaming for vengeance
And we agreed, this world is mostly manacled
It started ice cream social nice
It ended up all white and ecumenical
There are guys, there are guys, there are guys, there are guys
With wild eyes when they ask to get you high
There are girls, there are girls, there are girls, there are girls
That will come to you with comfort in the night
Thats right
We started recreational
It ended up all medical
It came on hot and soft and then
It tightened up its tentacles
The band played sabbath bloody sabbath
You thought it was stoney and adorable
It started in the vestibule
It ended in the hospital
There are guys, there are guys, there are guys, there are guys
With the wild eyes when they ask to get you high
There are girls, there are girls, there are girls, there are girls
That will come to you with comfort in the night
There are nights, there are nights, there are nights, there are nights
Where it all comes on a little bit too bright
There's a cross, there's a cross, there's a cross, there's a cross
And in the center there is a hot soft light

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
The Hold Steady is a Brooklyn-based rock band formed by vocalist/guitarist Craig Finn (ex-Lifter Puller) in 2004. Wanting to capture the sound of bands such as The Replacements and The Grifters, he recruited guitarist Tad Kubler (also ex-Lifter Puller), drummer Judd Counsell, and bassist Galen Polivka. In 2005 the band grew to include Franz Nicolay (of The World/Inferno Friendship Society) on keyboards and Bobby Drake took over on drums following Counsell's departure.

Recording mostly live, the band released its debut, Almost Killed Me, on French Kiss Records in March 2004 and Separation Sunday a year later. In April 2006 the band signed to Vagrant Records and entered the studio on the 1st of May to begin work on their third record, Boys And Girls In America. Released in October, it was one of the most critically acclaimed records of 2006 and reached a much larger audience than its predecessors.

The band released their fourth album, Stay Positive, recorded again with Boys And Girls In America producer John Agnello. Nicolay left the group and on May 4, 2010 the band released their fifth studio album, Heaven Is Whenever, recorded with producer Dean Baltulonis.


On July 15, 2008, Stay Positive was released. It debuted at #30 on the Billboard 200. It debuted on the UK Album Chart at #15 on July 20, the third-highest new entry. It ranked #1 on the UK Indie Chart. The album was named the best of 2008 by Entertainment Weekly. The song "Constructive Summer" was number 56 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.
