leyden jar

01/21/22

The spark from a leyden jar generates magnetic waves, which Guglielmo Marconi used to send messages right across the Atlantic.

Radio inspired Surfin' to You, the first of my beach songs. Thanks to Glenn Redcay and Steve Patton for the bass and drums on this one, recorded at the studio in Paradise.

Surfin' To You.mp3


Surfin' To You

With a crown in your pocket
And your feet on the sand at some hotel beach
Your slim smile's a rocket
Little shells in your hand all that you can reach
Well, pick 'em all up and save 'em for me
I'm riding to you
Down by the sea

The radio towers
Transmission of promise, the dawning day
I'm drivin' for hours
Surfin' to you on magnetic waves
They're playin' a song I know you can hear
It's comin' at you
Loud and clear

There's a place in the ocean
All the creatures that live there are blue and green
An ancient dream potion
Turns their features to faces that you have seen
Well don't let 'em keep you it's cold down there
I'm waitin' for you
Come on up for air
Well don't let 'em keep you it's cold down there
I'm waitin' for you
Come on up for air

Come on up for air
