about

“Light a Spark” is a lively fingerpicked tune that builds in rhythmic and harmonic intensity from a hopeful rumination into an exuberant summer celebration. The lyrics express ambivalence about rejoining the world after a long hibernation, but also the desire to “shake the dust off my heart.” A Grateful Dead like guitar solo complements the fingerpicked guitar and tenor ukulele and a driving rhythm section gets a lift from a djembe drum solo. Uplifting harmony vocals and melodic sweetness makes this song shine.

lyrics

Light a Spark

Verse
It’s been a long, cold winter, but I don’t feel the chill inside
I been adding to my armor, ‘till it’s thicker than an elephant’s hide
The springtime comes with gentle fingers, trying to tempt me outside of my door
I’m not ready to be in roses, but I might want a little bit more

Chorus
I wanna spread my arms open, I wanna shake the dust off my heart
If this rusty part is not broken, maybe we can light a spark
Light a spark, light a spark

Verse
I been down to the shadows, where the water runs deep and still
No more dancing with my devils, though they tug at the edge of my will
There is sunshine on the mountain, I can see from my safe and warm
But it can change quick as the seasons, ain't no rain without a storm

Chorus
I wanna spread my arms open, I wanna shake the dust off my heart
If this rusty part is not broken, maybe we can light a spark
Light a spark, light a spark
Light a spark, light a spark
