Name: Celebration
Duration: P00H02M48S
Description: This track was inspired by a night out in Toronto where I ended up at a party full of musicians. I had been out of the country for many years and was therefore disconnected from the social scene. The feeling of suddenly being in community with all these people was great. I felt like I had been reunited with a clan of like-minded individuals.

lyrics

Celebration’s not too far from here;
Trumpet, tambourine and open ears.
Guess it’s not too late to join their hymn.
Sweet salvation for the kid within.

My old friend with wings.

Within I know that the night is open
For some new high to make me sing.
Within I know that my spirit is hoping
To feel ecstatic when the voices dim
Electric when new day begins.

Blue-haired Bobby belts a song by Queen
while sweet Celine serves up her sizzling cuisine
I’m glad I found myself a cozy spot
Right beside the cat named Mrs. Plotte
My it sleeps a lot.

A lot of times when I’m feeling expired
I miss the flames of a musical crowd
To heat me up like a ritual fire
And send me risin’ through the infinite clouds
I close my eyes and feel the melody’s shroud.

(Bridge)

Now and then I live a liftin’ flight
And greet the gods above the urban blight
My merry moments as a musical child
Keep me facing fall, embracing the wild
With a warm inward smile
I’ll sing for a while
And blend in my style.
