The song is from the soon-to-be released “Hyim
and the Fat Foakland Orchestra” CD, which
includes some of your other favorite tunes, such
as: Sunny Day, Speaking In Tongues, Mambo For
Money For My D.O.G., and the ballad I Lay My Heart.
For now though, have a taste of the vibe with
this uplifting celebration of life birthday song.
It is for you to share with others.
The story of the song goes like this:
I was invited to go into an elementary school
in Vallejo to write a song with a 5th grade
class. I had two hours to give a workshop and
get the young folks writing. My workshop was
on “Life, Beauty, and Art” and we
talked about how being alive is an opportunity
to appreciate beauty and to bring beauty into
the world through art. We had all these ideas
from the discussion on the eraser board, and
then we split up the students into 3 sections.
Each section was to write a verse for the birthday
song. One verse was in English, one in Spanish,
and one verse an English rap. The skeleton for
the current birthday song was born.
Now, because of legal reasons, the students’
version is not the one on-line. I rewrote the
words so as not to offend any school administration
or parents due to copyright issues. So the lyrics
are mine, but are inspired by my young 10 and
11 year old homies of Vallejo (when I say Valle,
you say HO!!!)
CHECK OUT THE NEXT SHOW!
