about

I was well-pleased with the instrumentation on this one, but as usual the vocals didn’t quite sit exactly as I wanted. Perhaps having two pairs of really good singers – two brothers and two sisters like the Free Design – might help this song reach its full potential. Any takers?

lyrics

I was down by the river today
and I thought of you
Watching the water roll and
the light dancing twinkle-dee-doo
And the trees leaning over the bank
make a mirrored reflection
Dropping leaves lazily that just
float off in silent perfection

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo

Kneeling down so close
I cupped my hands to my face
My face, my face
my face my face
Looking deep in the depths
feels like staring into outer space

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo

You are like the river
You are like the river

I was down by the river today
and I thought of you
Watching the water roll and
the light dancing twinkle-dee-doo

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo

about

The Marble Tea Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Drawing mandalas and watching Captain Kangaroo...that's pretty much what it's like in here. I enjoy writing songs about my cats and cartoon insects, but I'm also fond of feeling up the tentacles that lead to the oneness of existence. That's the Marble Tea experience.

Recommended for fans of Jonathan Richman, Robyn Hitchcock, Jazz Butcher, Magnetic Fields, etc.
