One of my first handful of songs written on spanish guitar in Chico, California. I finally recorded it! Master flutist Carla Cahill from Ojai, Ca. added a beautiful solo and ambient florishes via remote to make it soar fitting into the spirit and essence. Elan Oatway added some much needed percussion and finishing touches to give it a unique flavor. Collaboration is so much fun ! Enjoy !Love is Real!

lyrics
INTO WHAT’S REAL
Morning comes the sunrise I can feel it in the air
Roses in the garden you can smell them everywhere
And you tell me how you feel
As we’re whirlin, twirlin, swirlin…into what’s real
Moonlight on the river stars reflecting off your hair
When I see you smile at me I see you everywhere
And you tell me how you feel
As we’re whirlin, twirlin, swirlin,…into what’s real
Whirlin, twirlin, swirlin, it’s a dance
Swirlin, whirlin, twirlin, love to dance
Clouds are flying by me O that swan is on the wing
The way you been loving me it makes me want to sing
And tell you how I feel
As we’re whirlin , twirlin , swirlin,…into whats real
Well the sun is slowly fading I can see it slipping fast
The kind of love that you’ve given me is the kind that’s going to last
And you tell me how you feel
As we’re whirlin,twirlin,swirlin,.. into whats real
Whirlin, twirlin,swirlin… it’s a dance…love to dance.
