yet another influenced by my break.........
I FEEL SO ALIVE
Walking down Columbus bathed in sunshine
Seeing nothing but blue, the stars feel alined
A fragrance in the air that is just so Devine
I feel so alive
I feel my soul revive…
Hey! nice song. Your visit to SF was supper fun, I'm glad you got more fodder for new songs! Thanks for getting me out in the city. We had at least one too many tequila drinks which was just right lol

Every cranky middle aged guy's theme song in a way. Nothing fancy, craptastic (tm) keyboard drums, a couple guitar tracks and some yelling and complaining.
