Paul Thorn Tells the Tale of "Geraldine & Ricky" in New Single

We're counting down the days to Paul Thorn's upcoming album Life Is Just A Vapor, with less than a month left until its release on February 21st. Until then, Thorn is keeping us on the edge of our seats with a new single, "Geraldine & Ricky," out today along with an animated music video.

"Geraldine & Ricky" draws from Thorn's memory of the real Geraldine and Ricky of his childhood. Geraldine was a traveling evangelist who would bring along Ricky, a ventriloquist doll, to share the Lord's word. Thorn recalls being mesmerized by the act at just five years old, and even thought he'd follow in their footsteps when he got his own ventriloquist doll. He says, “I had made up my mind that when I grew up, I was going to be a ventriloquist.”

Thorn takes us through the adventures of Geraldine and Ricky with this catchy track, adding his own twist to the duo's story. He paints Geraldine as “a toxic opportunist looking for anything that will better her situation." When Geraldine leaves Ricky behind for someone new, karma quickly catches up to her.

How does their story end, you ask? Watch the video below to see for yourself!
