joi de vivre ruff mix by honker (ken and orh) (picasso songbook)

signed up for the picasso album, i did a bit of research on old pablo and joi de vivre.

so scribbled down some words. and as if by magic my mailbox had a track from ken that seemed apt for the words.

honker an anagram for ken (tafkak kenneth) and orh. we plan to use that for oour future collabs and get a net presence somewhere.

any way
here are the words

The darkest cloud has passed
The sun has reclaimed the skies
In affirmation
Of the hope
That we can
Smell and taste and touch

Joi de vivre

Drunken lovers
Laughing
Free to live and love
A great weight lifted
A liberation
Of the mind and soul

Joi de vivre

Our children safe to play
To learn and grow
In celebration
Of all that is good
In this life of ours

So happy we can cry
The future looks a brighter place
From pain we are released
Inebriated
By the Joi de vivre
Inebriated
A hope so intoxicating
We can wipe the slate clean

Reborn
Renewed
Refreshed

Our only guide
The joi de vivre
Life
Liberty
And the pursuit of happiness
The darkest cloud has passed
The sun's reclaimed the skies
Joi de vivre

Bravo gents, bravo. Thats what I call inspiration. Deadly lyrics Jim. Ken, wonderful music, simply wonderful. You have such a great style. I am a honker fan. I am a honker-head. I honk for honker. honk if you are horny for honker (OK, that one may have been a bit too much). I can see T-shirts and lapel buttons from this match-up.

Nice songwriting and lyric, guys. The vocals remind me of The Simple Minds.

Nice atmospheric touches in there. Volume swells I guess. Very cool.
