We’re past the day we all thought would break Releasing the sun, to set forth his rays Safe in the dark, cocoon far away From human life that’s awaiting you Calling like a loon far away across the lake Welcome to this wild world my little child You’re heart is thumping with the rhythm To reconcile just how it felt to lose yourself From a world where you could always be Free from a see of worry And settled softly in peace All the flora and the fauna Wanna welcome you into the sun We will start a dance together Everyone will move along as one

On Holiday 04:09
This is how I would like to live on holiday Got no places I've gotta go I'm all undone while the sun lays low Traces of Apollo's eyes, all aglow I'm hypnotized by his firey gold Chariot as he races home Follow him In my heart I feel the dance of All the cosmic energy, yeah When I look up to the stars at night I feel they're part of me What is next? How could it get any better than this? When you love the moment you're in There's nothin' you're ever missin' And all the minds' ideas Of what is real will evolve And we will start the next phase Of truly better days Here they come In my heart I feel the dance of All the cosmic energy, yeah When I look up to the stars at night I feel they're part of me Don't you wanna boldly go Where only the bold have gone before

Looking for the right way So I lay down with my thoughts And follow the streams into the rivers They lead me to the sea of truth And when I arrive there There’s space all around And outward in every direction I have no self, it’s all the same I will be watching my mind ‘Cause I’m trying to find the right way Trying to find the right way to grow old Trying to find the right way Looking for the right way So I lay down with my thoughts And follow the streams into the rivers They lead me to the sea of truth And when I arrive there There’s space all around And outward in every direction I have no self, it’s all the same I will be watching my mind ‘Cause I’m trying to find the right way Trying to find the right way to grow old Trying to find the right way When you go to seek you’ll find The light of it all surrounds you When I was young my mom said son Don’t waste your time ‘Cause you coulda flown all the way to Shiley Well you wouldn’t have no idea What you’re missing right outside you There’s a time for drawing lines Deep in the sand You gotta make your mind up You gonna step to the other side of That line I drew beside you We will be watching our minds Because we’re trying to find The right way to grow old The right way The right way The right way The right way

Staying up all night just to get it done We can catch our breath in a sprinted run Shaking hands at dawn with the morning sun We’re holding out, we’re holding out, we’re holding out strong It’s late at night Do you wanna stay up And play it right You and I could make it up I would never doubt your love But tell me is mine enough to get ya through the night I would never doubt your love But baby tell me is mine enough to get ya through Feeling all your waves like a radio Filling up my head with your indigo Falling slowly into the afterglow We’re holding on, we’re holding on, we’re holding on strong It’s late at night Do you wanna stay up And play it right You and I could make it up I would never doubt your love But tell me is mine enough to get ya through the night I would never doubt your love But baby tell me is mine enough to get ya through To get you through It’s late at night Do you wanna stay up And play it right You and I could make it up It’s late at night Do you wanna stay up And play it right You and I could make it up It’s late at night, my dear, I know, we’re almost there
5.
All I wanna do is to get it right, baby That’s all I wanna do, yeah Stay in love with you Everyday like new, yeah That’s all I wanna do, yeah All I wanna do All I wanna do All I wanna do, yeah that’s all I wanna do my love All I wanna do is to have fun, baby That’s all I wanna do, yeah I could never find a better time than when I’m having fun with you, yeah All I wanna do All I wanna do All I wanna do, yeah that’s all I wanna do my love All I wanna do is to live free, baby That’s all I wanna do, yeah Wanna get away and I wanna spend my days In wanderlust with you, yeah All I wanna do All I wanna do All I wanna do, yeah that’s all I wanna do my love May a love so humble and kind Touch us all in our lifetimes Oh my baby Don’t you know you set my heart on fire Oh my lovely girl you raise me Higher and higher And all I want is you All I want is you All I want is you Yeah, all I want is you

It Goes By 04:59
Let’s go for an outside walk To clear our heads from this inside talking Maybe you and I will have A quiet time that lasts I believe we can just let go Of the things we know that hold us down Push it to the side and rise and realize It goes by In the blink of an eye We’ll spend our time Doing what we like I know it’s up to me To behave in a way that’ll set me free Gotta keep a calm head In the middle of a lion’s den ‘Cause when that beast comes out to play Oh, don’t get carried away Stay where you are and understand It goes by In the blink of an eye We’ll spend our time Doing what we like The thoughts inside our minds create our lives And all our lives combine create the paradigm Lost, in the wild A child of desire My heart cries
7.
Away, away Away, away Away, away Away, away Do you want to come with me to paradise We could spend the whole day doing nothin' at all Just say the word I’ll be waiting for you And off we will go away to paradise Away, away Away, away Away, away Away, away Do you want to come with me to paradise Seven days to journey to sandstone, afar Jupiter fire calling under the blue And off you will go away to paradise Do you want to come with me to paradise Do you want to come with me Do you want to come with me to paradise Do you want to come with me to paradise Paradise

Fuzzy 04:45
Float away to a blue skyline that slowly fades Into my eyes like I wanna make a move for emerald green A field so deep, I can’t explain How I would love to stay with you I wonder, when I go under, will I come back around I’m losing count so I start over Take it a little slower Settle myself down I want to always love you I was thinking up on the roof How do these stars dazzle this heart of mine From a million million miles Away we’ll go, getting lost on all the back country roads In this gypsy bungalow for two I wonder, when I go under, will I come back around I’m losing count so I start over Take it a little slower Settle myself down I want to always love you Na na na na na I wonder, when I go under, will I come back around I’m losing count so I start over Take it a little slower Settle myself down I want to always love you I want to always love you

Stay Magical 04:00
Hey you, stay magical You gotta try to stay magical Those who find out how to let their magic flow, know You gotta stay diligent looking after everywhere your mind goes Lapping up the waste for a taste of your voracious ego Even though I try I can’t deny that my path gets wind blown And maybe there’s no telling where to go So I try to stay magical We gotta all try to stay magical Those who find out how to let their magic flow, know I know where you’re headed and I wonder if you’re ever gonna get there You got your pack on your back filled with this and that And it’s gonna slow you down, oh no Take it off, let yourself go to a beautiful, high vibration Up that ramp until you’re flying overground And stay In awe Of everything around you It’s magical You gotta stay In awe Of everything around you ‘Cause it’s all magical Stay in awe of everything It’s all magical Stay in awe of everything It’s all magical Stay in awe of everything It’s all magical Ahhhhhhh Stay in awe of everything It’s all magical

When I was younger summer seemed so endless And all of my time was spent within the present I never knew what day it was in my head I got up, I had fun, that was it When you get old Keep your soul Same as when You were a kid From the ground to the sky there’s a soul generator (yeah) Start it up, turn it on, feel it move within ya (yeah) I got my, I got my soul Scrape away all the layers that cloud your vision (yeah) Step outta the dust storm we’ve all been living in (yeah) I got my, I got my soul When you get old Keep your soul Same as when You were a kid
12.
I have been thinking There’s a lot that’s been on my mind lately And I, I’ve been wondering Maybe it’s time for a change So, if my heart aches for something new Maybe I should listen And so, if I listen Maybe I will hear my heart again Ain’t so bad to go running into something new Baby, if it’s true You gonna hold your breath while the perfect air is right there Baby, you’ll turn blue Go with your heart, go with your heart Go with your heart, go with your heart ‘Cause it’s right, I’ll bet it’s right, I’ll bet it’s right You can bet that it’s right, that it’s right It’s right, I’ll bet it’s right, I’ll bet it’s right You can bet that it’s right, that it’s right So, back and forth now I took that trail time and again Oh, weary feet Rollercoaster Mister Compass, he got me spinning round Cruising for a bruising White laced, red leather gloves Oh but when you are fighting, baby You better know when to run Ain’t so bad to go running into something new Baby, if it’s true You gonna hold your breath while the perfect air is right there Baby, you’ll turn blue Go with your heart, go with your heart Go with your heart, go with your heart ‘Cause it’s right, I’ll bet it’s right, I’ll bet it’s right You can bet that it’s right, that it’s right It’s right, I’ll bet it’s right, I’ll bet it’s right You can bet that it’s right, that it’s right

about

"Stay Magical" was recorded in the Catskill Mountains of Upstate New York surrounded by nature and all things fun. The endless inspiration found in this environment can be heard in every aspect of this album, from the peaceful sounds of nature between the tracks, to the lyrical content, and instrumental composition. All four seasons are captured and showcased throughout "Stay Magical"; the birds singing at dawn in the spring, crickets chirping on hot summer nights, wind chimes sparkling in the fall, and the crackling comfort of the fireplace in winter. The writing and recording process spanned the time of three years, as Fort Vine carefully crafted and nurtured this project, discovering the depth of meaning in each song; a common theme and metaphor woven through the entire listening experience.
