My good friend, Neil Abell, asked me if I might find some musical inspiration in honor of his daughter, Gaia's wedding. Her fiance's background was Danish and Italian so this song was an attempt to "marry" these backgrounds with Neil's love of jazz that I imagine Gaia grew up with.... So the end product was a little bit of everything, jazz, bossa nova, English, Danish, Italian (none of it, including the English, pronounced very well), however it was all produced with a lot of love.;)
lyrics
Love Is All Around
For Gaia & Andreas
Chorus:
Kærlighed er hele vejen rundt (Love is all around)
L'amore è nell'aria (Love is in the air)
Love is all around,
Can you feel it?
It’s in the earth,
It’s in the sky above.
It fills our breath,
It fills the space between us,
The bond that holds us all today,
Is love.
Chorus:
Kærlighed er hele vejen rundt (Love is all around)
L'amore è nell'aria (Love is in the air)
The heart of every generation,
Is with us,
It has made this holy day,
One filled with grace,
Feel their spirits lift,
And surround you,
Let their gift of love,
Shine upon your face.
Chorus:
Kærlighed er hele vejen rundt (Love is all around)
L'amore è nell'aria (Love is in the air)
As it is,
In all of nature,
Let it be as your hearts desire,
The love you bring the world,
Is healing,
Let the love you bring one another,
Inspire!
From many places,
We have come to gather,
To celebrate the power,
Of two as one,
Let this day sustain you,
As you adventure,
The journey of your lifetime,
Has just begun…!
Chorus:
Kærlighed er hele vejen rundt (Love is all around)
L'amore è nell'aria (Love is in the air)
Kærlighed er hele vejen rundt (Love is all around)
L'amore è nell'aria (Love is in the air) 3x
