"Bloom" and Songs by CECA

Artbeat Radio

Welcome back to Artbeat Radio!

Please enjoy the latest piece composed by CECA Program service-users. “Bloom” was written by service users when confronted with a handful of garden blooms one morning, spawning inspiration. When beginning the songwriting process, service users were encouraged to experience and notice details of the Amaryllis flower (picked from the garden). With the Amaryllis in-mind, they were excited to write a love song highlighting the beauty of the flower and the beauty we find in others around us. Service users composed, orchestrated, engineered and wrote lyrics used for this piece by voting or deciding as a group. This piece was written and composed by Jesus Quiroz, Michael Hinckley, Dakari Johnson, and Johnny Galda.

This new piece is accompanied by two CECA original pieces from our “Quarantunes” series. You’ll hear “Feelin the Sunshine” which was written in February 2021. This piece is accompanied by an original lyric video which you can find here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C8WsoiIUAE

The third and final piece will get you moving! It’s an upbeat instrumental piece which was written in January 2021 called “I love you from Brazil”

Thanks for listening and tune in next time!

Lyrics:

My love for you just blooms

Marvelous petal

Sweet scent

Found you one day

Ever since

My love for you just blooms

Happiness in my heart

Warm like the sun

Wrap me in your love

My love for you just blooms

1:57 Feelin the Sunshine

Lyrics:

I got my horchata

You got your strawberry vegan ice cream

We should grab some burgers

And go eat at our hot hot summer feast

It’s our summer song Hee hee hee It’s our summer song Hee hee hee

Let’s meet at the ocean

And look out to the shiny sparkling sea

I wanna feel the sunshine

While hanging out with all my favorite peeps

It’s our summer song Hee hee hee It’s our summer song Hee hee he

We’re gonna go camping

In our pink tree house

And watch the shooting stars

We’ll go to raging waters

And conquer thunder rapids

And then we’ll play X-box

Ha!

4:10 I love you from Brazil

Lyrics:

Te Amo

Aishiteru

Je T'aime

I love you
