We will join their Flamboyance at the Ball!

Spanish Town

This pandemic has been a test for all of us.  This song is about being caged and dreaming of a near future where we have live music once again.  I miss it.  How about you?

Special Thanks to Michael for his wonderful guitar and chorus/harmony vocals.  Much love, brother.


 Make Belief 
Original and Copyrighted Lyrics by David Day and Miguel Deoliveira 2020
 


V1   
We’ve spent too many days in our gilded cage
Prayin’ for release
I’m  thankful for the music floating on the air waves 
But it seems so hard to breathe 
Would you like the chance to dance
I’ve found the key to a little more relief 
Come with me to the land of Make Belief

<Chorus>

Take my hand.  Let’s  go to the land
Where love flows from the heart of a baby grand
Where the sacred roots of the giving tree 
Feed us with band after band

 <Instrumental transition to bridge to 3/6>

Bridge

A giraffe plays a lyre with her head in the sky
While a choir of angels sings
A purple hippopotamus is soaring high 
On the sound of a song bird’s wings

A Pink Packederm with a Lion’s crown
Blowin’ a horn of unusual size
Where even the worn out sun can get down
And groove with the bad moon’s rise 

An octopus leads a 10 piece band
While lighters glow in the rain
We’ll lend him a helping hand
And we’ll play it all over again

Yeah, we’ll play it all over again

           <Instrumental>

Chorus

V2
The Dawn comes up with no conclusions
The clouds offer no reprieve 
We’re looking for safe passage or a call to action
To escape our own kind of grief
When the want of the music overflows
And drives us to the brink 

We gotta’  Knock’ on the doors
Bang on the doors
Kick down the doors of the Make Belief

<Chorus>

  730 Days 
Original Lyrics by David Day
D:DAY FUNK, Copyright 2022


V1
We come to say goodbye
With all the sorrow we can share
Grieving in our loneliness
Separate lives, same despair

V2
We come to give a voice
To those whose flame had to fade
We’d love to march them all to glory
But they’ve canceled our parade 

Chorus 
730 Days 
10,000 times that many souls
A million reasons why
But only one that made them go

730 Days 
Two long laps around the sun
A million questions why
But have we answered even one?

Bridge
“Only Good Vibes”
“Only Good Vibes”
That’s what we’d always say,
“Only Good Vibes”
“Only Good Vibes”
 But it’s so hard to live that way.

Chorus <Instrumental or sung?>

V3
We come to give and to receive
We come to learn, we come to teach
We come to lift each other’s spirits
But there’s only so far we can reach

Final Chorus
730 Days 
10,000 times that many souls
A million reasons why
But only one that made them go

For 730 Days 
Two long years over and done
A million tears have fallen
But many more have yet to run.

Outro
“Only Good Vibes”
“Only Good Vibes”
“Only Good Vibes”

Everywhere is home if I'm with You

It's all about our freedom over time. Make time your bitch and live it to its full extent.  Be kind to everyone with the time.

What’s time for?

V1
I punch it daily
It mocks Tick Tock
I ‘m wrecked and ragged at the 
Hands of the clock

V2
I threw away my watch of gold
‘Cause it won’t stop
Pointing at my flaws
And coutin’ what I’m not

Chorus
I measure hours by the quarter ounce 
Minutes by the bottle
Any second I’ll be headed back for more

I put time in my own hands
Just to make sure that I waste it
Cause if it ain't for livin’’, tell me what’s time for 

Instrumental Bridge 
 
V3
Why care when I sleep
Or raise my scattered head
I killed my alarm clock
It don’t say much when it’s dead

V3
iPohne ran out of power
Ain’t no source in sight
There ain’t no outlets
Fallin’’ from that height

Chorus
Outro
