Rick Vines Music

by Rick Vines (Song Sketches)

Rick Vines is a songwriter working in the tangled and shifting borderlands between rock, blues, folk, jazz, Americana. He strives to write songs with emotional candor, plainspoken precision, melodic clarity, and enough humanity to make perfection seem slightly overrated. They often reveal themselves slowly, appearing to be about one thing while something less obvious moves underneath.

  1. Everybody's Lying (Cover)

    [Chorus] Everybody's lying all the time Everybody's lying all the time Everybody's lying all the time Can't you see? It's all black and white Just choose wrong or right It's easy you see, you just need to agree It feels like you made up your own mind Labels and slogans work well When you have...

  3. You Can't Bring Me Down - Cover

    I don't care who's wrong I don't care who's right Can't we just move on I'm not looking for a fight We're right where we belong And all we have is time So I am holding on To every glimpse of light And the sun still shines At the end of my rainbow 'Cause I've made up my mind You can't bring me…

  4. You Can't Bring Me Down (Song Sketch)

    I don't care who's wrong I don't care who's right Can't we just move on I'm not looking for a fight We're right where we belong And all we have is time So I am holding on To every glimpse of light And the sun still shines At the end of my rainbow 'Cause I've made up my mind You can't bring me…

  5. The World Turns and the Wind Blows

    The past lives on in a thousand small things we can feel but can never quite hold. The years pass slowly, then all at once. We have a sense of where they went, but can never quite put our finger on it. Somewhere between memory, regret, gratitude and laughter. A reflection on how quickly a life...

  6. Time for You

    Sweet surrender. Free forgiveness. When we can stop fighting our past and begin to accept the gift of what is yet to come.

  7. Alone In This World

    Sometimes the way forward doesn't arrive as certainty. Even in our darkest moments, we can still find small possibilities. A crack in the door. A shift in the wind. When we feel lost, disconnected, or far from home, sometimes all we need is a voice offering some hope and a little encouragement to...

  8. Let's Fall In Love Again (Song Sketch)

    Every once in a while, I like to write a song that sounds as though it might have been written in the 1930s or ’40s. My grandfather was a songwriter during that era, so maybe some of it found its way down to me. This is a simple song, although it took me a surprisingly long time to find the right...

  9. Too Late For Turning Back (Cover)

    A widescreen anthem about starting over when the old map stops working. With chiming guitars, steady rock momentum, and a wordless chorus that feels like a release, the song turns doubt and disorientation into something hopeful. A reminder to stay open, stay kind, and keep looking for the path…

  10. Changed For The Better (Cover)

    A warm, mid-tempo pop-rock reflection on the small, ordinary miracles that end up reshaping a life. Built around bright acoustic guitar, clean melodic electric lines, steady drums, and a lived-in baritone vocal, the song traces a relationship from its first spark to marriage, children,...

  11. I Can Feel Her (Cover)

    “I Can Feel Her” turns emotional manipulation into atmosphere. Built around clean, arpeggiated electric guitar, muted acoustic strums, and a steady mid-tempo pulse, the song lives in the nervous space between suspicion and certainty. The lyric sketches its subject through sharp, unsettling…

    more
  12. It All Comes Down To You (Cover)

    A warm Americana groove on a song that treats friendship not as rescue, but as witness. The lyric circles around an old conversation — stories, dreams, denial, truth — before landing on the plainspoken realization that nobody can save another person from the work they have to do themselves. The...

  13. I Want The World To See Me Now (Cover

    The song traces the moment when self-protection turns into self-erasure. What begins as a confession of having disappeared behind a disguise gradually becomes a declaration of return. The ghost imagery gives the song its emotional weight — this is not just someone asking to be noticed, but…

  14. It All Comes Down To You (Song Sketch)

    A song about listening to someone you care about wrestle with life, regret, truth, and the choices only they can make for themselves. Sometimes the best we can do is stay present while another person finds their own way through. [verse] You can tell me all your stories You can tell me all your...

  15. I Still See You In The Glow (Cover)

    You are a ghost You are a thought You are a memory The ache in my heart You are a history You are a curse An elegant mystery You are a thirst And all the things I try to tell myself are true Still I pretend that I don't know You spread your wings when you fell down from the moon and I just…

  16. On With The Show - Cover

    "On With the Show" I wanted to write "the happiest song ever written. I also think that if Oasis can have a wonder wall, I can have a wonder road. [Verse] I am swimming in the sunshine I am taking my sweet time I am finding my own freedom I am dancing with desire [Chorus] Walking this wonder road...

  35. I Can Feel Her (Song Sketch)

    Kindness was never her forte She wears her silence like a crown She studies every little weakness So she knows just how to pull you down She hides behind her practiced smile She knows she's too clever to be found She won't reveal what she's thinking What it is that she can't live without I can…
