Desert Air (12-4-14)

see you again someday 
maybe you will return to me
and all them gray cloudy days will roll away

all my life i've been waiting
around for someone like you
to share all them lazy sunny afternoons

maybe someday i will see you again

Cast:
K.C. Boz: Guitar, Vocals

See You

my my, my fears have been growin'
butterfly let me hop on your wings
and remind me of what the lush life looks like
before my memory can only remember the hard times
of feelin' all alone, well i'm feelin' much better now
thanks for the lift my metamorphic friend

champagne corks, waterfall fireworks
toast to the man who gathered us all together
"dear friends, it's good to see you all again,
although some time has passed not much has changed,
except for maybe the weather and the lines on our forehead.
Salud! Cheers to the new year, and all the good times that have yet to come"

My My

like a boomerang 
comin' back to me
wish i was animal 
running around outside playin'

like my lazy friends
always smilin'
got a field of dreams
we're all trying to make happen

you know i keep repeatin'
but ya never listen
feel like a broken record
little tired of spinnin'

can you feel the warmth of the sun
shining through your heart 
and warming up your soul?

like a boomerang 
comin' back to me
wish i was animal 
running around outside playin'...

Boomerang

Girl I've been dreaming of you,
and all the times I never got to spend with you,
all I'm wonderin' is how you've been doin'
and when I think about all them foolish things
that I wished I'd said but didn't have it in me

Sunny Saturdays and a stroll into town,
I mumble all my words when you're around,
it's just the way ya make me feel
"Well... hey ya, how ya been?
cos i've been wonderin',
glad to hear you've been well my old friend"

I know we're gonna be the lucky ones...

Lucky Ones

she's sittin' on a bough
in the tallest apple tree
here all the grass is green
on the hills of cherry valley
won't you come waste the day with me 

la da, la da, la da, la da di da...

the girl in the blue sundress
makes my knees weak when she starts to sing
and when she says,
"boy everything'll be okay
ya gotta get outta bed and start somethin' today"

the skyline we couldn't see
from the top of forest lawn, mortuary
isn't that quite scary?

la da, la da, la da, la da di da...

the girl in the blue sundress
makes my knees weak when she starts to sing
and when she says,
"boy everything'll be okay
ya gotta get outta bed and start somethin' today"

On A Whim

Just my luck
she's got someone
who ain't me
but I'll wait my turn babe, for you i don't mind
cos true love ain't all that easy to find

But I feel it when I'm with you
ever since that day you and I
walked alone the world's biggest little city in the world

Did ya know
that your smile
makes me weak?
In my knees babe, I've been stumblin' all around
this strange old town of ours

Just hoping to run into you
sometimes I get blue
until I remind myself it just ain't my time

Take me I'll follow you out there
you know it don't matter when or where
just give me a sign
I'll be there, waiting for you

Maybe someday soon...

Just My Luck

This is my first attempt at writing for Orchestra. This is live audio from the HSU composer recital performed on April 1st 2016 in Arcata, CA. 

Confluence by the Lake of the Moon	by	K.C. Bozanich (b.1987)

The title of the piece was inspired by a Native American Studies course that I'm currently enrolled in. In the opening chapters of assigned reading, the book: American Holocaust, David E. Stannard describes the beauty of what once was the Aztec city of Tenochtitlán. 

"It's gone now, drained and desiccated in the aftermath of the Spanish conquest, but once there was an interconnected complex of lakes high up in the valley of Mexico that was as long and as wide as the city of London is today. Surrounding these waters, known collectively as the Lake of the Moon, were scores of towns and cities whose population, combined with that of the outlying communities of central Mexico, totaled about 25,000,000 men, women, and children. Tenochititlán overflowed with gorgeous gardens, arboretums, and aviaries. On any given day as many as 200,000 small boats moved back and forth on the Lake of the Moon, pursuing the interests of commerce, political intrigue, and simple pleasure...”

	With that in mind, imagine yourself as an outsider for the first time laying eyes upon the majestic city of Tenochtitlán. Perhaps on the hillside somewhere by the Lake of the Moon, overlooking the boats of commerce travel from one side to the other. This is a spectacle that the human eye can no longer see. It is now a place that can only be constructed by music and the human imagination.
