Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

Resurrection

arranged by Steve Courane and Clinton Brown the ditty was written by Paddy Burgin

Carol: lead vocal, rhythm guitar Mark Laurent: guitar Ruairidh Morrison: pipes, fiddle Bernard Wells: banjo Paddy Burgin: mandolin Greg Bartlett: congas Clinton Brown: bass Steve Cournane: drums, percussion Laura Collins, Lisa Tomlin, Brenda Liddiard, Mark Laurent: the angel choir

Written by Carol after the event, this Celtic gypsy reggae- go figure - is for Greg Bartlett who collapsed with heart failure while dancing madly in Wellington’s International Arts Festival tent. When Lester called for help, four doctors leaped out from the audience and “wrapped their wings around his heart” and saved his life! “Like tears caught in sunlight love became your gravity” is a line from one of Greg’s poems. (from Carol Bean's website)

Lyrics

RESURRECTION (2:38) ©Carol Bean
A Scottish band twirled you round at the Dance Palace.
A highland fling hurled you down, down to the floor.

The call went out   Angels came running    (3x)
They wrapped their wings around your heart.

A resurrection,  a redemption for your life.
Rising like Lazarus, rising like Icarus
Did you really think that you could fly towards the sun?
Rising like Lazarus, rising like Icarus
Like tears caught in sunlight, love became your gravity.
