In the summer wind, the petals float
We walk hand in hand, under the trees
As the flowers bloom, so does your smile
With the light shining down on you
We walk through the town, amidst the crowds
To a place where only we could be
As a petal falls onto your hair
Eyes closed, you begin to dream
All at once, the world has stopped
For a moment, time stands by
And your song is sung again
Have you seen the light shining down on you
Through the wind, your voice is carried in the air
There is something sweet that no one has seen
And there's beauty out there that no one has ever found
As more flowers bloom, so does your soul
With the light shining down on you
In the summer wind, the petals fall
On the ground, they dance under the trees
As I close my eyes, the flowers bloom
And so, I begin to dream
Have you seen the light shining down on you
Through the wind, your voice is carried in the air
As my feelings find their way to you
In our special place, your song goes on
To me, "Trip The Life Fantastic" was a must-buy on "Bandcamp Friday" this time. It's one of the few "Drifting Sun" albums not already found in my collection, and an essential one, because it marks the beginning of the prolific collaboration of composer/keyboardist Pat Sanders and lyricist/singer Peter Falconer, which was, in my opinion, the best creative pairing the band ever had.

Discovering this album has been one of the surprises of 2021, not least because I can't believe I hadn't found it before. It has echoes of some of the finest prog rock bands from the 1970s, with superb instrumentation and arrangements, and vocal harmonies that would be the envy of many a musician. followjohnreed
