Written in the summer of 1990 on Four Mile Island in the French River. Special thanks to Bob and Helen for the opportunity to be there at that time. I miss you both and think of you often.

Just a middle aged singer/songwriter sharing the work.
Hobbyist singer/songwriter/guitarist who's been quiet for 10 years. Decided to get the songs out there now. Had dreams of the big time, but know it isn't going to happen now and that's okay. I still love music, writing and recording and want to share my work with people.

Story behind the song
Summer of 1990 at the cottage of friends on beautiful Four Mile Island in the French River in semi-northern Ontario. Sitting by the water marvelling at the beauty of the northern lights. Forward to 2021 and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel after too many bridges burned. We go on.
Lyrics
Tonight I sat with a friend Down at the water's edge And we watched the northern lights shinning Away from all the noise of the city that destroys The peacefulness that this place can bring you Why is it that we are so bitter when we disagree And we're so quick to burn our bridges behind us We can curse ourselves for what's been said Beat ourselves up until we're dead But that' not going to help the situation We can fill our minds up with regret Think we know that our course is set And deny ourselves the joy of Love's anointing I just want to lift my voice And tonight my spirit wants to rejoice In the celebration of newfound renewal In the celebration of newfound renewal **************************************** Summer 1990' Four Mile Island, Ontario, Canada
