Kaleidoscope
To conclude the album, here is the title track in a full band setting, featuring the great Rob Wirensjo on a riveting piano and also Hank Johnzon doing a jazzy pedal. The arrangement is a little reminiscent of turn of the 19th century can-can, and you’d almost expect to see ladies in a row with their legs a-kickin’!
Kaleidoscope
(Words by Jana Persson and Will Gough, Music by Jana Persson)
Who will get it if they want?
You will
Who’ll prevail as is their wont?
You will
Who will have a look
In my kaleidoscope
Find the beauty
Of true love and hope
Who’s my little croissant?
You are
My beloved dilettante?
You are
Will you have a look
In my kaleidoscope
Find the beauty
Of true love and hope
Who will make me wanna die?
You will
Who will love me til I cry ?
You will
Who will have a look
In my kaleidoscope
Find the beauty
Of true love and hope
Who’s the one I love to taunt?
You are
And whose grace I love to flaunt?
You are
Will you have a look
In my kaleidoscope
Find the beauty
Of true love and hope
...And counterpointing the previous track, this fully arranged reprise of the opening of the album is the perfect ending to a perfect album. I don't like to throw words like "brilliant" and "genius" around, but in the case of Stummindude's Kaleidoscopy, the words are warranted. Well done, Jana. So well done.
If I made a movie of my life, this would be playing over the opening credits. Love it!
Soooooooooo good, Jana. Really a brilliant album. I will be playing this beautiful song over and over in the coming days. Anyone who listens to this album and doesn't come away with a smile (especially after hearing this sweet closing track) needs to get their heads checked... or kicked... their choice. Just outstanding, Jana, truly outstanding!
Awesome album, Jana. AGAIN.
A polished collection of compositions in this RPM effort :)
