lyrics

I know I spend my time
Not with people but with melodies and rhymes
And my restless mind keeps finding new directions
As my temperature climbs
But when the music's flowing into dreamlight
With all my senses glowing til they take flight
The soul of the music released from the heart of a song

And so I drift away recalling fallen heroes
As their music plays
And I saw Stevie Ray following brother Jimi
Hey-ay-ay - through a purple haze
And to hear what they were playing gave me sad eyes
They turned to me saying, brother - don't cry
We knew from the start that the ending was part of the song
It was part of the song
It's all right - it's all right - the ending is part of the song

Music was a gift - it seemed to come from above
Yes, it was a gift - it was almost like love
Oo-oo-ooh, almost like love - oo-oo-ooh - almost like love

And so I spend my days
Trapped inside a soundscape that leads to endless passageways
I know I'll end my days trying to find my way
Through the music-maze
But when I reach the ending - lost in deep sleep
With all my colours blending, brothers - don't weep
I knew from the start that the ending was part of this song
It was part of the song
It's all right - it's all right - the ending is part of
The soul of the music released from the heart of
I knew from the start - the ending is part of the song

Giving myself to the music - there's nothing else but the music
Giving my heart to the music - becoming a part of the music
I feel like I'm part of the music
Spiraling down, spiraling down through the music

about

Naming The Twins image

Naming The Twins Shelburne, Nova Scotia

Naming the Twins is the Nova Scotia based guy gal duo of Robbie Smith & Kath Glauser who sound a little bit like Peter, Paul and Mary if one of the fellows took the night off, a bit like Simon & Garfunkel if Art was a girl, a bit like Gordon Lightfoot or Stan Rogers if either had a girl harmonizer.
Not twins by birth, but twins at heart, they share a sibling like sense of humour and harmony. ... more
