i'm cheating. it's march. but in my mind, it's still songaday. songaday forever. this is another one with parts that were inspired by the recent lovely Orange Room performance by Daniel Berkman and Steve Lawson. i was listening back to the webcast of the eve a couple days later, and came up with some of the chorus bits listening to their first song. (of course, have changed the key, as i've not gotten quite brave enough yet to wander beyond the white keys on my keyboard...will get to the deep end eventually...) anyway, those two have some awesome synergy. yay inspiration. one other bit of inspiration for this song came from the lovely Emily Baker, whose gorgeous album House of Cards i recently heard for the first time, on a rainy drive to Petaluma. again, someone else's musical genius inspired some lyrical & melody ideas of my own, and some of those ideas wove themselves into this song as well. mostly in the bridge... so blessed to know so many amazing musicians and to be inspired by their noise, such good fodder. it's nice to have lots of lovely song scraps lying about for when the writing bug bites... bright spaces palm to palm across a pane of glass love make frozen soluble opening into bright spaces this pleasure desire's cunning can't contrive so unexpected so courageous to unfold a heart layer by layer crack the stars apart sense vibration never felt before don't want to run don't want to hide may pieces fall where galaxies collide opening into bright spaces constellation rearrange sweet surprise show me your garden one footstep at a time find our way sculpt a lifetime into one day universe unfolding in head and heart finger and vein enfolded in gentle arms hour stretch to eternity crowd forever into one moment sunshine in your eyes burn through clear the way life flow again opening into bright spaces this pleasure desire's cunning can't contrive show me your garden one footstep at a time find our way sculpt a lifetime into one day universe unfolding in head and heart finger and vein feeling linger life flow again
