about

Based very loosely on Seurat's "On a Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" - the piece is the only romantic love song of the bunch, and was written for my wife, Laura

lyrics

On a Sunday Afternoon
Approximately seven billion little specks on this planet
On this planet
And I am privileged to while away the years with my favorite one
With my favorite one

Couldn’t have orchestrated it any better myself I’d say
Myself I’d say
Couldn’t have designed a finer teammate if you were homespun
If you were homespun

When one looks close
Surprise Surprise!
I suppose we’re both a lot of tiny dots and lines
But if too close
Surprise Surprise!
We miss the grandeur of the larger plot that intertwines us

Oh oh oh ooh etc.

My love is matchless and unique
Filled with idiosyncracies
I would make no alteration

From the voices that she does
And koumpounaphobia
To her enjoyment of the aged

And on a Sunday afternoon
On the Sabbath honeymoon
We enjoy a day of sun
Come on everyone come on
