about

I wrote this song after a vist to Toronto in 2017 I spent a day looking at contemporary architectecture then went to Little Italy in the evening and had an amazing meal at "La Fourchetta" restaurant and onto Alex LIFESON's club "The Orbit" afterwards.
The next day I went to Danforth in Toroto to buy a Godin Jazz 5th Avenue guitar! Brilliant!

lyrics

Downtown Watersite
"West 8" slip and slide
Uptown "Gehry" rides waves upon the tide
"Will" and "Danny Boy"

Take us for a ride
Through Toronto's pride Toronto side

"Santiego" flys gallerias high
"Snohetta's" Sugar Beach
No nothing you can teach
Yonge Street on the way

Takes us for a ride
Through Toronto's pride Toronto side

Up now Spadina
La Fourchetta's not too far
Little Italy's ajar so find that Orbit bar
Where Jordon sings the blues

Takes us for a ride
Through Toronto's pride Toronto side

A street car named desire
Pushes us with fire
Danforth for the ride
Fine Canadian hide

Jazz 5th Avenue

Takes us for a ride
Through Toronto's pride Toronto side

I generally write the basic structure and lyrics, then allow collaborating musicians to write their parts over the basic structure. This can lead to some interesting and surprising results. ... more
