Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties - Routine Maintenance
Review by Ehab Aref
Routine Maintenance is the second studio album by Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties. The album is a concept album that follows the story of a man named Aaron West and his journey through grief and loss. The album is produced by Ace Enders and was released on May 10, 2019.
The album features ten tracks, each with its unique sound and message. It opens with the track "Lead Paint & Salt Air," which sets the tone for the album with its haunting melody and introspective lyrics. The album continues with tracks like "Just Sign the Papers" and "Bury Me Anywhere Else," which showcase Aaron's emotional journey and his struggle to come to terms with his loss.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Runnin' Toward the Light," which features a catchy chorus and a driving beat. The song is about Aaron's determination to move forward despite the pain he feels. Another standout track is "Wildflower Honey," which features a beautiful acoustic guitar and showcases Aaron's vulnerability.

Runnin' Toward the Light
Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties
Produced by Ace Enders
Album: Routine Maintenance
[Verse 1]
I used to hate all my dad's old outlaw country bands
He'd play me when I was young
'Coz they'd lie through their teeth about the lives they lead
When all I wanted were honest songs
But now they're anthems in the van
And we're screaming them out on the highway
For good luck
In the bright blistering sun
[Chorus]
Runnin' toward the light
On the shoulder of a dream
I'm singing in my sleep
Runnin' toward the light
I stagger through the streets
I sing it in my sleep
[Verse 2]
Cream fights through truck-stop coffee here in the quiet purple dawn
Last night we played another highway bar, for the first time they sang along
Spray paint a '20' up on the over pass
Like a blood pact for the drifters we've become
In the soft burgeoning sun
[Chorus]
Runnin' toward the light
On the shoulder of a dream
I'm singing in my sleep
Runnin' toward the light
I stagger through the streets
I sing it in my sleep
[Bridge]
This is for Rosa, and Catherine
And Mom and Dad
And this is for Robert, and Jesse
And the Thunderbird staff
I'm going to make you proud of me
I'm going to make you proud of me
I'm going to make you proud of me
[Chorus]
Runnin' toward the light
On the shoulder of a dream
I'm singing in my sleep
Runnin' toward the light
I stagger through the streets
I sing it in my sleep

I love country ska
who knew Ace Anders was playing with Soupy? Makes so much sense.
Such an impressive song!!!! Has all the right vibes!
Incredible. Keep it up Soupy!
I've listened to "We Don't Have Each Other" + "Bittersweet EP" more than any other album tenfold.
If you ever read this, just know we all 'preciate chu.

This ablum is gonna be incredible!! Stoked
The single cover is the backside of the boardwalk entrance to Asbury Park coming from Ocean Grove. Did I get that right? It looks familiar.
Why hasn’t this band picked up more views yet? Soupy is a lyrical genius. They need a better marketing staff.
I’m hoping for an Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties World Tour next year to kick off the new roaring ‘20’s!!!!
Just stumbled onto this. DAY MADE!
Yes
I'm lost... who's catherine? Who's Rosa? Am I going to have to relisten to the original album again to find who these extra characters are? I get who Robert is, the guy who bought the car. Jesse is the guy who sublet his original place, and mom/dad. But who are the rest? Is Rosa his baby?
Very good song. Congratulations!!!
Thank you for this song ?
Man, this is just amazing!
total TWY stan here that didn't get Aaron West most of the time for cultural reasons, but this here? this is just great, also great to see Nick here!

I remember listening to "We Dont Have Eachother" the night it came out, it was a kick in the chest in the best way possible. I was so bummed that it was just going to be a one off thing and here we are for a pt2!! So damn excited!!
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
I unlike this just to give it another thumbs up like 15 times a day
where were the film scenes recorded? looks like PA, but i was just wondering if anyone knew specifically, thanks!?
