Liner Notes

Doug (@crisp1) has recognized that so many little things in our lives all add to our wonder and enjoyment. I feel privileged to try find the music to represent Doug's ideas. Hopefully, I've come close.

Thank you @paul_pedersen for a really nice start to 50/90 for me. Very sweet melody and I think the chorus sounds especially cool with all the layered vocals.

Lyrics

The polished wood of an old guitar
Shadows on a bright white wall
Bread baking in a sunlit kitchen
A nearby bird flock calls

A honeybee buzzing round a flower
Coffee steaming in a cup
Clouds passing as the wind propels them
The morning sun comin’ up

Impressions, impressions
Impressions, impressions

Refreshing shade of a spreading tree
Whirring of a hummingbird
Waves crashing on an island coastline
Emotion in deep words

Impressions, impressions
Impressions, impressions

These precious impressions can go so fast
Hold them close
Make them last

A potter’s hands as she works the wheel
Laughter from a happy child
Scent wafting from the blooming jasmine
A mustang running wild

Impressions, impressions
Impressions, impressions
