Name: Dance On Fire by Sal Caputo
Duration: 8 min 25 s
Description: There's a simple riff and a head that the horns are playing in ensemble. This was recorded live at my senior recital on May 4, 1975 at the Livingston College Music Hall in Piscatway, N.J. We had only one microphone left for recording so the sound favors the electric instruments.

Trust Your Intuition

Why are you waiting to knock on that door?
This could be the one you’re waiting for
You pretend you don’t care anymore
But you’re crossing your fingers

You try to understand your mind
Second guessing what’s inside
Don’t overanalyze
What you’re feeling

Trust your intuition
When your inner voice speaks, listen
Break through inhibition
Trust your intuition

You keep on trying to conquer the day
Then feel your courage slowly slipping away
Always worried what people may say
Insecurity lingers

You try to understand your mind
Second guessing what’s inside
Don’t overanalyze
What you’re feeling

Trust your intuition
When your inner voice speaks, listen
Break through inhibition
Trust your intuition

Feel your feeling

Trust your intuition
When your inner voice speaks, listen
Break through inhibition
Trust your intuition

Trust your intuition
Trust your intuition
Trust your intuition
Give yourself permission
Trust your intuition
Trust your intuition
Trust your intuition.

Trust Your Intuition

Mismatched glasses, place settings on the table
We talk about replacing them someday when we are able
Years ago they were all so shiny and new
In our earlier days when they made their debut

But glass shatters
You learn what matters
You pick up the fragments
And sometimes you bleed
Crystal crashes
Hits the floor and smashes
You may not get what you want
But you get what you need

Bridal checklist to adorn your new nest
Embarking on a journey to a new reality
Anticipation for a new beginning
All the while spinning toward your new destiny

'Cause  glass shatters
You'll learn what matters
You'll pick up the fragments
And sometimes you'll bleed
Crystal crashes
Hits the floor and smashes
Indulge in expectations
But there are no guarantees

Mismatched glasses, place settings on the table
Appreciate the moments as long as you are able
Years from now things may not be shiny and new
But there will be other treasures shining 'round you

Because glass shatters
You learn what matters
You pick up the fragments
And sometimes you bleed
Crystal crashes
Hits the floor and smashes
You may not get what you want
But you get what you need.

A Pixelated World

The tree was planted long ago
He who planted it didn’t know
Who it would shelter from the sun
He just did what needed to be done

He wasn’t seeking glory or fame
Nobody even knows his name
But the world is a better place
Because he was here

It takes only one
One kind gesture, one kind word
It takes only one
Only one to change the world

His name’s not on any building
He was never honored for his deed
He never expected recognition
He looked around and found a need

It takes only one
One kind gesture, one kind word
It takes only one
Only one to change the world

The tree was planted long ago
It took many years to grow
Now it’s time to plant our own
Because we are here

It takes only one
One kind gesture, one kind word
It takes only one
Only one to change the world
Only we can change the world.

A Stranger Who Looks Like You

Somehow, I’m the adult now
I’m the grown-up, time to own up
No doubt, things will work out
I’ll make it count, I’m the adult now

Shadow Puppets

So many celebrations were postponed or cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a hopeful song about being able to celebrate together again soon.

Dancing In Circles

The Blessing of a New Day

Roll down the windows, feel the breeze in my hear
Turn up the music 'til my worries disappear
No looking back in that rearview mirror
I'm keeping my eyes on the road ahead.
