I open my window, and I feel a gentle breeze flow through me
The light from my basement is leaking through the cracks in my floor board
Open up your mind and throw away the key
Baby you can count on me to keep it fantasy
Cuz I'm tired of keeping it real
There's more than just one way to be
At least it seems that way to me
baby
Come with me
I always keep it fantasy
take my hand
we'll fly to Chilly Land
The light in my basement is growing stronger every day, I can feel it
It lights my whole home now, I don't think my neighborhood can believe it
I'm giving you all I got, so remind me what you want
and I'll put you on my list
baby can you get to this?
Yeah I got so much love to give

You taught me so much bout how life's supposed to be
and I would like to thank you girl for showing love to me
Yeah I've been all around the world, or at least around Oregon

Looking back on the various experiences that the two of us have shared
Some of them made us feel so happy, some of them made us scared
Regardless of the types of times we've had our love is zipped up tight
and that's exactly why I want to take you out tonight
and show you how I feel
yeah

I always keep it real
with you

Comfortable Again
02:39
|
|||
|
You better say what's up whenever you see me walk down the street.
I used to turn my head.
Now I'm feeling comfortable again.
I'm giving y'all the best of me
giving you nothing but empathy
and presently I'm feeling heavenly
cuz even when this beat
has fallen out of rotation
I ain't falling out of my spaceship
I will still be flying high in the friendly sky like Marvin Gaye said
I'm your favorite producer, and I'm even your favorite's favorite
that means if you wanna sample this you're gonna have to pay for it
honestly, any of these beats could be for sale
so hit me wmehigan@gmail.com
if you're interested in purchasing a beat
but if you're a friend of mine then we'll collaborate for free
bada boom bada bing
I'm like Nas and Blackpink
because I'm in your area...
know what I mean?
I'm a legend in the Northwest like Twin Peaks
I'm one of the top 100 artists Portland Oregon's ever seen
you better say what's up when you see me
on the street and don't be surprised if I sing
it's Chilly Willy yeah eah eah
still keeping it completely in my bag
still taking my time to perfect the beat
cuz it's still the best outlet for my anxiety
I got the beats to keep you bouncing like a pogo
that's a sure thing like Lillard from the logo
guaranteed swish man you know it's going in
and I'm feeling better than I've ever been so that means
You better say what's up whenever you see me walk down the street.
I used to turn my head.
Now I'm feeling comfortable again.
Chilly Willy in the house every day
because of COVID-19 baby
It's Chilly Willy yeah

Twitching
02:24
|
|||
|
I rub my face and blink real hard
I touch the windows in my car
and feel the glass on the back of my hand
cause it feels so good man
it ain't allergy season
I'm sniffling for no reason
except for that it's a compulsion baby
I understand it makes me look crazy
I know that it looks really strange
when I give my head a few tiny shakes
but at this point I ain't gonna change
I've been doing this for decades
this is my confession
when I feel a tic coming on I can't suppress it
so everybody listen to my message
woo!
I ain't twitching for you
I ain't twitching for me
I ain't twitching for anybody
I'm just twitching because my brain made me
I ain't twitching for you
I ain't twitching for me
I ain't twitching for anybody
It won't hurt you, it won't hurt me
So why don't you just let me twitch in peace?
It's hard to look cool when you twitch like me
but I don't need to look cool; I'm thirty
there's a difference between being self conscious and self aware
and I don't care
what you say
about the way I twist my face
it's such an insignificant aspect of my life
I truly don't know why I even bothered writing a song about it
I ain't twitching for you
I ain't twitching for me
I ain't twitching for anybody
I'm just twitching because my brain made me
I ain't twitching for you
I ain't twitching for me
I ain't twitching for anybody
It won't hurt you, it won't hurt me
So why don't you just let me twitch in peace?
In peace!
let me twitch in peace!
I'm still doing my thing
It's Chilly Willy

Chilly in the house
I'm downtown taking the MAX all around
I know you're spellbound by my beautiful sounds
it's Chill Will the unsung legend of P-Town
I'm around, you just gotta ask for me
and I'm still putting it down for the 503
yeah the whole MAX train car is looking at me
all eyes on me I feel like Michael Flatley
I'm in khakis dressed up head to toe
thinking bout the next place I wanna go
I could hop on the red, green, or yellow
MAX line
and make my way to the
East side
creeping round town but I'm no creep
I peep my peeps walking down the street
they wink at me, I wink right back
through the windows of the MAX
condos where there once was grass
the past gets distance oh so fast
I'd like to think I'm built to last
but time will be the judge of that
on the train, I'm changing the way I think about things I used to say were set in stone (now set in the clay)
I ride the light rail towards a brighter day
It's Chilly Willy
|
||||
7. |
||||
|
I keep a light on for you, girl
so you can see me through my window
I'm hoping that when you see me, it makes you smile
and you come in and stay a while
with me
I keep my door unlocked for you, girl
So you can come in when you'd like to
I've kept it toasty and warm inside my home
so it will be comfortable
for you
I set aside a plate of crackers and cheese for you
I'm thinking bout all the things we used to do
I miss you girl and I hope you miss me too
Yeah I keep a light on for you
I'm hoping that you come over
I hope that you come to see me

Wild Mountain Thyme
02:10
|
|||
|
Oh the summer time is coming
and the hills are sweetly blooming
and the wild mountain thyme
rolls around the blooming heather
will you go, lassie, go
and we'll all go together
to pluck wild mountain thyme
all around the blooming heather
will you go, lassie, go
|

Sometimes
03:19
|
|||
|
Chilly Willy you know exactly who I am
I'm the man that nobody seems to understand
if you look me in the eyes, then I'll turn you into sand
don't disrespect me, that would make me really sad
I'm one of a kind, I'm a really special guy
yeah I traded in my Diamondback for a Specialized
now I'm floating on the bike path so lightly
breeze is flowing from my left sleeve to my right sleeve
I don't care if you like me
I don't care if you think I'm cool
if I keep repeating that, maybe someday it will be true
I said I don't care if you like
I really don't care if you think I'm cool
I don't care if you like me
I don't care if you think I'm cool
Willamette River water in my hair
the sun is always setting somewhere
baby
sometimes it seems like life's best memories are only things you did to ignore a depression
Do not mess with Chilly Willy cuz he would not mess with you
yeah treat me how you'd wanna be treated baby that's the golden rule
I might pull up on your crew and serenade you with my flute
[flute break]
If I pulled up on your crew like that, would your crew pull up on me?
Then maybe we'd combine our crews and make one happy family
and we could cruise together down the bike path holding hands
set a little barbecue up by the river in the sand
this sunset looks so crazy
I'm sipping on a mojito and feeling reflective baby
there's a twinkle in my eye
reflections of the big pink twinkling in the sky
yeah, sad songs don't hit me like they used to
and I should probably think of that as good news
and I can't really stay up all night anymore
but at least I can sleep
sometimes your best nights are book-ended by your worst days
it's okay to let the bad times make you smile

Baby Steps
03:18
|
|||
|
I get a warm feeling
even when it's raining
I get a warm feeling
even when it's cold outside
and it warms me to my bones
feeling this warmth within my soul
and I still got so far to go
that's fine
yeah I'm taking it one step at a time
little by little through my life
I'm taking baby steps
I'm getting close but I'm not there yet
oh yeah
there's gonna be ups and downs no matter what
but you need the downs to feel the ups
that's what's up
yeah life's like that
it's chilly willy yeah
and I always found it to be kind of hard
to incorporate a key change into a song
even if I know the key I want the song to end up in
I still can't get there til I write the bridge
sometimes the bridge I write just takes me back to the start
it's so funny to me how life is just like art
yeah I'm taking it one step at a time
little by little through my life
I'm taking baby steps
I'm getting close but I'm not there yet
oh yeah
there's gonna be ups and downs no matter what
but you need the downs to feel the ups
that's what's up
yeah life's like that
it's chilly willy yeah
little by little through my life
I'm taking baby steps
you need the downs to feel the ups
you know what's up
chilly willy baby you know who it is let's get it yeah

to ya baby
I wanna wake you up
I wanna be your Steve Inskeep baby
You're too exciting for me to sleep in late
something I got to say
I wanna be that second cup of coffee that gets you through your day
I can be that for you baby
you know you drive me crazy
and when I fall asleep tonight, I wanna be sleeping in the same bed you sleep in
yeah I'm all out of metaphors, so I'm just telling you how I'm feeling
