LYRICS:
Hang around underground till it’s late
Naked run you can hide and get caught in a maze
Sure you walk all around in a daze
Grab and roll never know a longer day
Hollow
A hollow
A hollow
A hollow
Rock around town
And the whole damn thing
holler
Oh holler
Oh holler
Oh holler
Mock a rang tang
Like a loathsome thing
AYOOO
Seven oh eight make an omen’s rate
Making loving in a cul de sac
Shut it down wrong let your words enact
Mama said don’t you crawl in there
Seminal and our lives can’t control
They’re the best in the land no letting go
While you rest and we’re all lead to craze
Should have known better than to bask in weary ways
highway
Oh highway
Oh highway
Oh highway
Cinnamon ring
And I won’t let go
Highlight
Oh highlight
Oh highlight
Oh highlight
Make it rounding
Give it up your soul

72RHR –72 beats per minute is considered the resting heart rate. The meditative tempo guides Lee’s new album, 72RHR, where every song is built around the beat; but achieving a state of calm balance can be challenging. Lee embraces this dynamic that results in an album of songs at the meditative tempo of 72BPM. She crafts a sonic journey that takes listeners on an emotional ride through discord and harmony.
