It’s been a long night and I’ve got one thing on my mind
And though it seems trite it’s the best I can describe
How I’m feeling at the journey’s bitter end
Awake as this thought comes flooding back again
like an old friend.
Such a simple revelation to behold
But not a single chance it ever could be told
Through the silence and a multitude of sound
My heart of darkness brightened up by leaps and bounds
Sing it out loud
Here’s the bottom line
Life is simply wonderful in every single way
Don’t knock it til you try
Would that everyone could feel this every single day
That life is A-OK
And rootin’ tootin’ gosh darn wonderful
Can’t think of anything else to say
And so I look back on the movies that we made
It’s a shame that all the stories seem to fade
In my minds eye
But I know there was a seed that was planted
And watered by the dreams of infinity and
Here’s the bottom line
Life is simply wonderful in every single way
You may criticize but
Would that everyone could feel this every single day
That life is A-OK
And rootin’ tootin’ gosh darn wonderful
Can’t think of anything else to say
Except for this it's more than bliss with joy and sorrow in the mix
Would never believe that I could feel so really real
And all my pain and suffering is wrapped up like a candy cane with
Rainbows and carousels and butterflies and unicorns...
Here’s the bottom line
Life is simply wonderful in every single way
Don’t knock it til you try
Would that everyone could feel this every single day
In every single way
That life is simply wonderful
Wonderful!
Life is simply wonderful!
Life is simply wonderful!
Life is simply wonderful!
XTC had their moment in time...this recording extends it...Full of small, tight , quirky songs it juz rolls along. Recommended but maybe only for XTC fans.. cwhitney
If you're a huge fan of The Nines and have heard most of their other stuff, then this is a great listen. Lots of rarities and unheard material here. Not all of it is memorable, but that's the nature of these kind of albums. Ben Habegger
Parisian indie pop quintet En Attendant Ana bring smart songwriting and considered arrangements to their latest and strongest record. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 12, 2023
Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2023
