Story behind the song
"Weekend Mystic" is a high-energy track that introduces a compelling layer of conflict and decision-making through its storytelling. The lyrics depict a "crossroads" struggle between corporate stability represented by "the firm," "promotion papers," and "the Henderson files"and the allure of counter-culture freedom found in "Kerouac," "cosmic consciousness," and a "bus heading West". This creates a lyrical tug-of-war between the safety of a promotion and the "now or never" call of the open road, making "corporate vs freedom," "counter-culture," and "travel" essential tags to capture the song's true essence.
Lyrics and concept by Ward C Locke. Music produced with Suno AI.
Lyrics
Saturday I met you reading Kerouac in the park.
Monday I'm at the firm filling out reports.
Sunday you say we're all one cosmic consciousness.
Tuesday my boss wants the Henderson files by three.
I'm alive on the weekend!
Turn on, tune in, then pretend.
Five days at the firm and then...
I'm alive on the weekend again!
Saturday you tell me that the bus is heading West
and I should go.
Wednesday my boss says Denver needs me Monday morning
and I should go.
Sunday you're packing, and say come with me or it's now or never.
Monday there's promotion papers sitting on my desk.
I'm alive on the weekend!
Turn on, tune in, then pretend.
Five days at the firm and then...
I'm alive on the weekend again!
Friday afternoon I'm standing at a crossroads....
You're at the station, and the boss is expecting me at the gate.
One road leads to you.
One road leads to safe.
And I'm
I'm alive on the weekend...
I'm alive on the weekend...
