Rick Lee Vinson Group, a talented band based in Las Vegas, is back with their latest single, “Look At It Sideways 4PaBlo.” Led by the creative Rick Lee Vinson, this group formed in 2022 and brings together Chris on keys, Jonah on guitar, and Michael on vocals. With influences from legends like Miles Davis and Johnny Cash, they blend different styles and ideas to create something truly original.
“Look At It Sideways 4PaBlo” was recorded in Nashville, TN, at the band’s own Underground Treehouse studio. The song shows off Rick Lee’s unique vision, inspired by artists from the cubist era. It’s filled with poetic lyrics that encourage listeners to make their own meanings, drawing them into a world of shifting perspectives. Strange and vivid images—like backward-looking faces and clocks without hands—create a dreamlike feel, inviting us to let go of what we usually understand and see things in a new way. The band even joked, “Timothy Leary would love this song,” capturing its creative, almost psychedelic feel.
The title’s mention of “Pablo” likely nods to artists like Pablo Picasso or Salvador Dalí, both known for their unique ways of viewing the world. The song asks us to think about reality in a similar way—looking at it “sideways” to find new layers and hidden meanings. It’s a reminder to step back and take in life from all angles, often finding something beautiful in the unexpected.
“Look At It Sideways 4PaBlo” also brings in themes we all connect with, like fate, identity, and grace. Each line leaves room for personal meaning, inviting us to feel and interpret it in our own way. Like an abstract painting, the song is meant to be experienced rather than fully explained. By the end, it feels like a gentle nudge to approach life with an open mind and a sense of curiosity.
If you enjoy music that makes you think and feel, Rick Lee Vinson Group’s latest release is definitely worth a listen. It’s a journey that leaves you seeing things a little differently, both in the song and in life.
