NEW MUSIC RELEASED MAY 2025
SEVEN SOURCES is the brain-child of Joel Pirard. I have been in quite a few bands,. I learned to write songs and compositions in ORION, ALASKA, TOMBSTONE, THE ALIENZ, AVALON USA, THE JDA PROJECT, each with their own styles and nuances. I put some of these out with them and a lot more out under an umbrella I call SEVEN SOURCES, which basically an imprint for my personal works with occasional guests.

Lyrics
Spring was never waiting for us, girl It ran one step ahead As we followed in the dance Between the parted pages and were pressed In love's hot, fevered iron Like a striped pair of pants [Chorus] MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again, oh no [Verse 2] I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like a wave On the ground around your knees The birds like tender babies in your hands And the old men playing checkers By the trees [Chorus] MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again, oh no [Bridge 1] There will be another song for me For I will sing it There will be another dream for me Someone will bring it I will drink the wine while it is warm And never let you catch me Looking at the sun And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life You'll still be the one [Bridge 2] I will take my life into my hands And I will use it I will win the worship in their eyes And I will lose it I will have the things that I desire And my passion flow Like rivers through the sky And after all the loves of my life Oh, after all the loves in my life I'll be thinking of you And wondering why [Chorus] MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again (Oh no, oh no)
