Inspired while clapping from my window. I thought I saw a dove. It turned out to be a pigeon. Sometimes reality is all we have and sometimes that’s great. Who needs unicorns when we have rhinos?
LYRICS
======
Come and see the doves
At the window ledge
There is hope
On the outside
In a world of wonder
Who needs fantasy
In a world of wonder
Believe in you and me
Who needs unicorns
When we’ve got rhinos?
Who needs doves
When we’ve got pigeons?
Who needs angels
When I’ve got you?

Sam Montooth – The Sea
Info:
This solo bass track was created with the image of someone standing at the edge of the sea and reflecting on their past and future with all of the joy and pain that entails. At this time especially, embracing the duality of the human experience is necessary for us to thrive and be able to embrace what our future can be.
Artist Comments:
I hope this brings peace to those who hear it.
