about

No, that's not a typo. Several months after recording "Joy in the Now," I found myself occasionally playing the song with a different groove. I hadn't planned on re-recording it, but falling in love in the fall of 2003 gave me an excuse to write new lyrics to the old melody, and I turned the whole shebang into a new song early in 2004. I find the title appropriate for this collection of tunes, and I think bracketing the album with the two "Joy" songs worked out well.

lyrics

Woke up beside you on Monday,
Woke up with peace in my soul.
I watched you quietly sleeping;
It made me feel happy and whole.

Willingly, we gave of ourselves;
Lovingly, we shared in bliss.
We gazed into each other's eyes,
And got lost in another kiss...

CHORUS:
Don't know why you should love me, but you do,
Don't know why you should love me, but you do!

Hearing you say that you love me
Fills me with joy in the now,
Brings to my eye a small teardrop,
Drops me to my knees to vow...

For you I'll do everything
In my power to do.
You make me so happy, honey;
My love belongs to you.

You are my friend and my lover;
Days and nights, bright as the sun.
Let's find happiness together.
I tell you that you are the one!

For you I'll do everything
In my power to do.
You make me so happy, honey;
My love belongs to you.

I'm lost in your eyes,
I feel lighter than air,
You bring me such joy in the new,
For you my heart I'll bare...

CHORUS:
Don't know why you should love me, but you do,
Don't know why you should love me, but you do!
I want to hold you in my arms, and I will, again,
Kiss you, and love you, and give you my heart, again, and again, and again...

Let Talking Heads, David Bowie, Trent Reznor, the Cars, Roger Waters, and half a Ramone take turns writing and playing songs together, with Frank Zappa, Lou Reed, and Ringo Starr splitting vocal duties, and you might get something like Andersen Silva's music. Or you might not. ... more
