After a 3 year hiatus on Song 2 Art a new event is scheduled and the date approaching.
The concept is to link song writers with visual artists and either the art inspires a song or the song inspires the art. It’s a great exercise on both sides and fun too….because we then have a Concert/Art Show for the finale.
I’ve created a piece for this show…it’s in the kiln now….cross your fingers that it comes out ok.
Here is the song I had for my challenge
Mandarin Oranges by Natasha Sayer, December, 2023
You can get what you want anytime of the day,
Anytime of the night, anyone, anything
But you can’t recreate, what might happen if you wait
Anticipate what might be coming
Mandarin Oranges by Natasha Sayer, December, 2023
You can get what you want anytime of the day,
Anytime of the night, anyone, anything
But you can’t recreate, what might happen if you wait
Anticipate what might be coming
You can get what you want with a tap on your phone
Delivered to your home in a moment
But I wanna pine, I wanna wait, I wanna stop, hesitate
I wanna wonder if it’s ever gonna happen
I want Mandarin Oranges at Christmas time
I want the northern lights to find me when they’re meant to be mine
I want all the special moment to sneak right up on me
And then I’ll know that they’re really meant to be
Don’t wanna click for the answers before I explore
I want the kids to sit around and have the chance to feel bored
I wanna push myself further than I thought I could go
Don’t want the answers at my fingertips
‘Cause missing all the wonder makes me feel like this
Like everything’s so forced, and everything’s so fake
How can anything be special when it’s right here on your plate
I wanna choose my own adventure, no suggestion from my phone
And what I really need is to get there on my own
I want Mandarin Oranges at Christmas time
I want the northern lights to find me when they’re meant to be mine
I want all the special moment to sneak right up on me
And then I’ll know that they’re really meant to be
