about

"Darby Let's Go" is a high-energy, guitar-driven track with soulful vocals and a high-octane, recurring guitar refrain elevated by ethereal backing vocals. Who was this mysterious Darby and what was his fate?
The first Penelope's Thrill album, "Twilight on Tunnel Road," won the Alternative Album of the Year award here in Wisconsin. This is the third single we've released from our upcoming second album, due to be released on April 11, 2024.
(In memory of BM and SD, who were taken from us far too young)

lyrics

When I hear that sound—tingles up my spine!
When I hear that guitar, I really lose my mind.
And I know that you cannot be here now.
It’s so long ago since you passed beyond all sound.
Darby let’s go!

Darby now I can play—can you hear that sound?
Can you hear that twelve-string? It’s the sweetest sound around.
And I feel that you are looking from the sky.
I never want to know or ask the reason why.
Darby let’s go!

Visions of eternity are swimming round my head.
Then I see us back again.
We played together those long nights at The Village
when it always seemed it would never end.

Darby now you can see how things really are.
We’ve lit the dark with candles. We can only see so far.
But the magic way—the rhythm of our hearts…
there’s music in the night, and we can never part.
Darby let’s go!

about

Penelope's Thrill Madison, Wisconsin

Penelope's Thrill is a lucky accident. Lured out of musical retirement by son Andrew, Timothy Walsh dusted off his guitars, including his favorite vintage Guilds and Gretsches, and picked up where he left off 25 years ago playing in garage bands in New Jersey and Boston.
Tim founded Penelope's Thrill as the vehicle for his songs, often pulling in other musicians for particular tracks. ... more
