Story Behind The Song
Composed on a hot, summer day while improvising on the piano in d-minor.
Song Description
A d-minor run provides a solid hook for this tune that exclaims that "it's all gorgeous", despite how much trouble we have connecting to one another. The rock vibe touches on the experimental with an unusual bass line and the driving synth and change in tempos provide power and depth to the philosophical observations.

Lyrics
I said you know I find you fairly virtuous
And he said actually I think this is all superfluous
And we said we apologize we are really nervous
And they said
It doesn't matter
It's all gorgeous
I said may I bring you something to eat and he said
No thank you mam', I just digest what I read
And we said we prefer our vitamin TV
And they said
It doesn't matter
It's all gorgeous
Can this transcend the poetry
In the image of you and me
Move us beyond
My country tis' of thee
Tis' of thee
I said can you teach me the power of now
And he said
No
We said can we teach her the power of love
And they said
Go
It's all gorgeous
Can this transcend the poetry
In the image of you and me
Move us beyond
My country tis' of thee
It's all gorgeous
It's all gorgeous
