about

One music club I miss dearly is the Sit & Spin in Seattle. Let’s go back in time, early 2000s. I first saw my future wife Darla at the Sit & Spin. My jaw dropped as she walked across the room. She was the girl I had a dream about years before. That red hair. I just knew it was her. Cassady was standing next to me. All he said was "Trouble". That was over 20 years ago. Darla and I are happily married today. This song was inspired by that night and my personal love for that club. Our bands at the time had some amazing nights at the Sit & Spin! -Robb Benson (Planets in the Ocean)

lyrics

Sit & Spin

I lost beliefs in all the thoughts in my head
Started believing in the dream life instead
Could have been all fantasy

The ones I told said that it wouldn't be real
I threw away a life in order to feel
It was just a fantasy

Thunderbolts and lightning a UFO a sighting
Was bigger than this song, rewriting the wrongs
But nothing will ever hit the way you walked across the room that night

Later the ones that knew were shaking their heads
I wasn't crazy and the dream wasn't dead
turns out visions can be real
We built a life of it and now we are here
Old as the day is long and now it seems clear
Vision is the path to steer

Thunderbolts and lightning a UFO a sighting
Was bigger than this song, rewriting the wrongs
Thunderbolts and lightning a UFO a sighting
Was bigger than this song rewriting the wrongs
But nothing will ever hit the way you walked across the room that night
