about

On MMB, I got into a lot of fictional narratives, lyric wise, and different textures, musically. "Celebrate The Trance" hits on both of these notions and came about because I was listening to lots of Antonio Jobim and wanted to try my hand at something he might do. On this one I was pretty sure where it wanted to go, and though I usually hand off lead parts to other people, I had this one written, so I played it myself. (DH)

lyrics

Celebrate the Trance

Winter in the greenhouse, surrounded by the roses
Snow melts on the roof, she’s striking poses
One says I might love you, another says I do
Another looks back in time when everything was new
And every breath between them was cradled in their hands
Captured in a memory - celebrate the trance

Celebrate the trance
Celebrate the trance

She comes to him slowly, it’s hot beneath the glass
Sweat rolls down his sides, he wants the time to pass
Thinking of tomorrow and the things he has to do
Roses bend beneath his back and he runs out of room
She falls like summer showers, flowers in the sand
The greenhouse turns gold and red - celebrate the trance

Celebrate the trance
Celebrate the trance

She falls like summer showers, flowers in the sand
The greenhouse turns gold and red - celebrate the trance
