BANDCAMP EXCLUSIVE! NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE ELSE!
"Be Mine Tonight" highlights the romantic side of Joe Normal, who is no stranger to the 'power ballad,' which once dominated the airwaves during his formative years on the London, New York, and Sunset Strip Glam Rock scene of the late 80's.
On this acoustic driven love song, Joe's voice and words ache with passionate desire. He incorporates mandolin, reverb- drenched background vocals on instantly memorable chorus, and a guitar solo reminiscent of a young Jimmy Page.
Fans of Goo Goo Dolls, Nikki Sudden, and Paul Westerberg will find something to latch onto as this song spirals off into infinite pleasure.
These days Joe Normal is known primarily as a blue collar songsmith and storyteller, a working class hero and talent whom is sometimes hard to classify. His sound and style has been dubbed "Glamericana" by the press for its satisfying blend of folk rock, Americana, and glam rock roots, which Joe says 'feels good to be recognized as an artist who is blazing his own path.' ... morePurchasable with gift card$1 USD or more

lyrics
BE MINE TONIGHT
You are so beautiful
And your smile turns me on,
And I want to be with you
Tonight until dawn.
Say that you want me, too.
You are so wonderful
And you shine like the sun and the moon,
And I want to sleep with you,
Please, won’t you stay in my arms.
(Be mine tonight) Won’t you stay with me
(Be mine tonight) Say you’ll never leave
(Be mine tonight) Won’t you stay with me, tonight.
You are so magical,
You are definitely the one,
And I want to dream with you
Tonight and every night.
(Be mine tonight) Won’t you stay with me
(Be mine tonight) Oh don’t you ever leave
(Be mine tonight) Won’t you stay with me
Tonight, Won’t you stay with me.
(Guitar solo)
(Be mine tonight) Won’t you stay with me
(Be mine tonight) Oh don’t you ever leave
(Be mine tonight) Yeah won’t you stay with me, tonight.
(Be mine tonight) No don’t you ever leave
(Be mine tonight) Won’t you stay…
(Be mine tonight) Won’t you stay with me
Tonight…
(Be mine tonight) Oh don’t you ever leave
(Be mine tonight) Won’t you stay, won’t you stay with me
(Be mine tonight)
(Be mine tonight)
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight.
You are so beautiful
And your smile turns me on,
And I want to be with you
Tonight until dawn.
Say that you want me, too.
You are so wonderful
And you shine like the sun and the moon,
And I want to sleep with you,
Please, won’t you stay in my arms.
(Be mine tonight) Won’t you stay with me
(Be mine tonight) Say you’ll never leave
(Be mine tonight) Won’t you stay with me, tonight.
You are so magical,
You are definitely the one,
And I want to dream with you
Tonight and every night.
(Be mine tonight) Won’t you stay with me
(Be mine tonight) Oh don’t you ever leave
(Be mine tonight) Won’t you stay with me
Tonight, Won’t you stay with me.
(Guitar solo)
(Be mine tonight) Won’t you stay with me
(Be mine tonight) Oh don’t you ever leave
(Be mine tonight) Yeah won’t you stay with me, tonight.
(Be mine tonight) No don’t you ever leave
(Be mine tonight) Won’t you stay…
(Be mine tonight) Won’t you stay with me
Tonight…
(Be mine tonight) Oh don’t you ever leave
(Be mine tonight) Won’t you stay, won’t you stay with me
(Be mine tonight)
(Be mine tonight)
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight.

I saw Alvvays open for CourtneyBarnett 2016 'n checked out this album that week on Spotify, made me a fan for life. They make brilliant records if you ask me. Great vocals, songs, guitar parts.

The original release without the last two tracks. Sloan is hecka-talented, I'd say he's the next Paul McCartney. I'm grateful to find a young artist/producer so inspiring, good natured, and melodic.
