steve bernard I’m so torn! I’m dying to play it but also want to wait until the vinyl shows up for my first spin. Aaargh!!! 🖤

Epilogue: I broke down after a few hours and played it. Brava, Jenny… it’s another expected gem. Thank you also for higher quality uncompressed audio files than most people care to make available. It all put a huge SMiLE on my face.

It's a long story but I been waking up another way I'm in love with the ritual and living another day Make a little connection And give it attention What do I do? I spend my days here working on my concept Trying to have a good time, turning pages And what I found is- nothing is forever I'm getting better as I age It's a fool's game and I can't let it get in my head And why should I when all my favorite painters are dead? But I'm a romantic I dream gigantic What can I say? I spend my days here working on my concept Trying to have a good time, turning pages And what I found is- nothing is forever I'm getting better as I age I spend my days just working on my progress Looking for answers, turning pages And what I found is- be a little kinder I'm getting better as I age I spend my days here working on my concept Trying to have a good time, turning pages And what I found is- nothing is forever I'm getting better as I age I spend my days just working on my progress Looking for answers, turning pages And what I found is- be a little kinder I'm getting better as I age

Dear thee, I'm quickly responding to your e-mail I am unable to make it there today Sorry to say, you see, but I am frozen By an unbridled idolatry Wish I could go, keep my cool Light up a room while I do it Change the game Use my power for good Nothing to it! All the greats are of dying age We saw this coming from miles away I could have been some Victorian outcast! Really I'm lucky to be here at all Wish I could go, keep my cool Light up a room while I do it Change the game Use my power for good Nothing to it! I wanna be that way someday I wanna be that way I wanna be that way someday I wanna be that way! Wish I could go, keep my cool Light up a room while I do it Change the game Use my power for good Nothing to it!

I'm alone in this world I'm a solitary girl Got no number to call Got nobody if I fall I am alo-lo-lo-lo-lone I am alo-lo-lo-lo-lone I am quiet in a group I am spacing out, I am good Got no reason to talk I regret it when I squawk I am alo-lo-lo-lo-lone I am alo-lo-lo-lo-lone Well, if I needed you Could you meet me there today? And if I had a revelation On a subject I been on about Would you go there too? I am soft and introspective I am outwardly protective I'm a fossil, I'm a star In my electric car I'm from the 21st century I'm from the 21st century Well, if I needed you Could you meet me there today? And if I had to see a giant in a redwood grove Ten hours away, would you go there too? I'm alone in this world I'm a solitary girl Got no number to call Got nobody if I fall I am alo-lo-lo-lo-lone I am alo-lo-lo-lo-lone Well, if I needed you Could you meet me there today? And if we fell in love Would you keep me, would you stay?

I miss you man I wanted to dance and you would have been up for it The song to be decided by you Is hell, in the end, as bad as they said? Are you having a grand old time With all the fools that came before you? I'll talk of you my whole life through You were extraordinary A chosen one, the saint of fun and weirdos! I built this chapel for the other side So we can meet up here and feel alright So how's it been, my outsider friend? Are you listening to George Jones? Oooh thank you for the course in country music The art that you made A life that you can't believe until you've seen yourself Possibly but in another time All that you are And all that you were Is around today, it's wild- Here in this world! I built this chapel for you, step inside So we can meet up here and feel alright And you can tell us all your stories again And play your favorite records late at night

Saw you last summer, talking with so and so I waited too long, didn't want to interrupt ya I was heartbroken, it was a weird time People remember the way that you make them feel You can stay real quiet and come across mean What if I decided to say it real clean: I would like to know you, I mean it I never really say what I want to say I wanna be your company I wanna hear your thoughts on life and love When you said hello, I was on the moon I was still reeling from a conversation previous I still remember these moments of lost connection You can stay real quiet and come across mean What if I decided to say it real clean: I would like to know you, I mean it I didn't have the words right then I wanna be your company I wanna hear your thoughts on this moment I would like to know you, I mean it I never really say what I want to say I wanna be your company I want to hear your thoughts on life and love We'll have to make it a plan We'll have to make it a plan We'll set parameters, put me in your calendar! We'll have to make it a plan We'll have to make it a plan We'll get together Oh I can't believe it all!

There's no need to worry like you do If you could only see what tender people see in you Through it all Everything that you are Is apparent in the course you're taking Through it all Everyone, you should know Has been all around here believing it for years Years, oh You're a vision, you're the rising sun While you wonder when the day will come You burn, you burn, you burn, you burn You burn, you burn, you burn, you burn, you burn And you worry if you even should But you're good, you were always good You're gold, you're gold, you're gold, you're gold You're gold, you're gold, you're gold, you're gold You're golden! Centuries of men in power told us to be that way With a fear of affection, closed to nuance It takes courage and will to be open We can rely on medicine But there is nothing to fear And nothing wrong with you - you, oh! You're a vision, you're the rising sun While you wonder when the day will come You burn, you burn, you burn, you burn You burn, you burn, you burn, you burn, you burn And you worry if you even should But you're good, you were always good You're gold, you're gold, you're gold, you're gold You're gold, you're gold, you're gold, you're gold You're golden! Surrounded by the people who Reverberate the best in you, to you
