This is originally a track performed by the Zodiacal Lunacy Collective, an experimental project I put together back in Toronto, Canada.
We would meet every full moon, and paying attention to the sign the moon was in that night, we would improvise music together. I would then edit the jam sessions into proper songs, with the deadline being the next full moon.... It was meant as a way to overcome my writer's block and get over my idea of perfection.
This particular song came about on New Year's Eve, back in 2009.
You can hear the original here if you are interested. zodiacallunacy.bandcamp.com/track/ode-to-all-good-people
This current version of the song came about because I was invited to a close friend's wedding and decided to redo the song from the ground up as a surprise performance for them. Since they were present at the original inception, i was hoping to stir up some nostalgia....
lyrics
This is an ode to all good people.
This is an ode to all good people.
All good people that I've met,
All good people I care about.
All people that I have met,
At work, at home, in different situations.
This is an ode to you.
This is an old fashioned ode to you.
All good people that I have seen,
All good people I've tried to emulate - That I've been.
All those people close to my heart.
All good people i raised a glass with,
All good people I shared a joint with,
All good people who've lent me their number 2 pencils.
This is an ode to all good people.
You know who you are,
You know who you are.
This is an ode for you.
I'm singing to you,
I'm singing to you.
This is a good old fashioned ode to all my people.
This is a song from my heart for you.
