Mathias recorded a raw composition with piano only, then sent it to Bill who laid down a Most SPECTACULAR bass track!!! Filippo laid down his 1st COOL drum track and then I recorded the vocals, sax, flute. Filippo recorded a 2nd drum take - with a Very AWESOME "Steve Gadd-ish" feel to it!!!

Lyrics
"HEAVENLY LOVE"
Dreamed of Oz - just the other day
Emerald city sparklin' up - lighten' my way
Travelin' down - the yellow brick road
Feelin' the magic - of the heavenly show
Follow me, come along, to the top of the stairs
Leave behind, all your worries, no more cares
Had a dream - was down in Birdland
Ella, Miles and Coltrane - just jammin' with the band
Groovin' smoothin'- jazzin' Cannonball
Bassy, Max and Mingus - just havin' a ball
Strollin' through, the city on, a Sunday afternoon
Groovin' on, listenin' to, my favorite tune
All the colors of a rainbow
All the twinklin' stars in the sky
Lucky charms and leprechauns and four leaf clovers
Don't compare to you
All the coolness of a summer breeze
All the swingin' in a be-boppin' tune
Summer, winter, spring or fall nothin' can compare
To you at all
Chorus
HEAVENLY LOVE - I give to you
HEAVENLY LOVE - My heart and soul
HEAVENLY LOVE - HEAVENLY LOVE
Dreamed of Oz - just the other day
Was off to see the wizard - to guide me on my way
(He said) All you need - is really to believe
Just open up your mind - to the possibility
Follow me, come along, to the top of the stairs
Leave behind, all your worries, no more cares
Had a dream - was down in Birdland
Ella, Vaughan and Holiday - were scattin' with the band
Looked around - Dizzy and Satchmo
Blowin'on the trumpet - puttin' on a show
Strollin' through, the city on, a Sunday afternoon
Groovin' on, listenin' to, my favorite tune
All the colors of a rainbow
All the twinklin' stars in the sky
Lucky charms and leprechauns and four leaf clovers
Don't compare to you
All the coolness of a summer breeze
All the swingin' in a be-boppin' tune
Summer, winter, spring or fall nothin' at all
Can compare to you
Chorus
HEAVENLY LOVE - I give my heart
HEAVENLY LOVE- You know I give my soul to you
HEAVENLY LOVE - HEAVENLY LOVE
