New Single "Animal Magic"
All animals, when carefully considered, exhibit the commonality of just getting by in this fragile accident that is life on earth. The more complex creatures have developed interdependence, both practical and mysterious, which becomes somehow essential and beyond question. The success of dogs as a species has depended on their adaptive intelligence and their talent for reading and meeting the needs of humans. Interspecies love, such as that between dogs and humans, is a prime and precious example of that evolutionary success. This tune is an attempt to sing about it.
Lyrics
How do they?
Spot a suitor from a block away
Know for certain what a sniff might say
With all the promises a nose might make
They read the room and make no mistake
Animal Magic
How do they?
Know your thinking like you do yourself
Things your feeling that you've never felt
Mark the moment that you meet your mate
And never second guess or hesitate
Animal Magic
How do they?
Bear the weight of your love so well
Lift you up from a lonely spell
Tuning in with emotional radar
And find a way to you no matter how far
Animal Magic
Something so deep and so true
The heart of an honest companion
A need that you never outgrew
A generous second opinion
How do they?
Draw the love from a deep supply
Give it out with no when or why
Freely offering sweet relief
And understanding beyond belief
Animal Magic
