Vile dives headlong into hometown love for his Philly stomping grounds, on this first single from his seventh LP, Bottle It In, weaving one of his trademark BOSS-wave-ian street narratives rife with super jam fingerpicks and tremolo fills and a metaphor built around the freedom to stick it to the ma...
Loading Zones Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Back is aching but I cannot sleep
'Cause I won't be beat like I am the mayor of some godforsaken town
Sure, they knighted me yesterday
But who needs armor when I've an exoskeleton?
I slip and squirm through the cracks
Creep around by the, all the loading zones in my dirty little town
Get my shopping done, laundry too
Drop some dead weight, clean my hands of what I need to clean my hands of
And all for free by mayoral decree
All from zone to loading zone of my town, yeah
[Verse 2]
Three grumpy girls and a dying daddy
But oh so gorgeous the way they crave
How beautiful to take a bite out of the world
I want to rip the world a new one
It just crawls out of my mouth anymore
You can hate on it or you can hug it
You can get all mushy and lovey-dovey
It's all the same when I'm out there driving around
All from zone to loading zone of my beautiful town
[Chorus]
I park for free
One stop shop life for the quick fix
Before you get a ticket
That's the way I live my life
I park for free
[Outro]
I park for free
I park for free
I park for free
I park for free
I park for free
I park for free
I park for free
I park for free
I park for free

What inspired this song?
The original inspiration to this song was me literally driving around my own town of Philadelphia, thinking about how, in your mind, or in real life, you own your town once you’ve lived there long enough. I would often park in a loading zone in front of AKA records, which is now no longer with us, b...
Who produced this song?
This song was produced by me and my band, Kurt Vile and the Violators, and engineered and assisted/co-produced by Peter Katis up in Bridgeport, Connecticut. It was performed live with the Violators after we toured our last record, ‘B'lieve I’m Going Down Like Crazy.’ So yeah, we played it live as a...
What's your songwriting process like?
Ideally, it’s as live as possible, and yeah, that includes the whole band, which is me on acoustic guitar and singing, Kyle Spence on drums, Rob Laakso on bass, and Jesse Trbovich on space electric guitar. That was all performed live, so the whole take was captured like that. And then I had a year t...
