Story Behind The Song
Dave wrote this one night sitting atop a mound in his hometown, comtemplating the vastness of the universe while listening to the bustle and hustle of a Friday night in the town below him. It occured to him that even though he was far away from the action, he was still connected with everyone and everything around him.
Song Description
"The Bosom and The Pool" is a concept album by Dave Christensen. In this chapter, the narrator, realizing that community is more than just people you party with, contemplates a connection with everyone on the planet and how were all linked in the cosmic family. It is a call out to join together, delivered on a plate of silky grooves and mellow saxophones.

Lyrics
THE BOSOM
WE ALL WALK IN THE SUN
AND THE ROAD WE MEET EACH OTHER
DROP OUR SACKS AND GREET EACH OTHER
WE ALL TOUCH THE SAME GROUND
SO COME ON DHARMA BUMS LET?S GET ON DOWN
AND WE?LL GET ON DOWN TO THE BOSOM OF THE UNIVERSE
SHAKE IT AROUND AND SEE HOW IT FALLS
MERCURY WORKS ITSELF OUT
WE?LL ALL GET UP JUMP DANCE AND SHOUT
TO THE MYSTIC RHYTHM THAT DRUMS ALONG WITH THE STARS
WE STARE AT THE SAME MOON
AND FROM OVER THE HILLS WE SEE A GLOW
AND BASK IN THE GLOW OF EACH OTHERS DISTANT FIRES
WE ALL BREATHE THE SAME AIR
SO COME ON DHARMA BUMS LET?S GET ON DOWN
AND WE?LL GET ON DOWN TO THE BOSOM OF THE UNIVERSE
SHAKE IT AROUND AND SEE HOW IT FALLS
MERCURY WORKS ITSELF OUT
WELL WE?LL ALL GET UP JUMP DANCE AND SHOUT
TO THE MYSTIC RHYTHM THAT DRUMS ALONG WITH THE STARS
