Tuesday September 8, 2020 “The Good Life” Devon Gilfillian

Tuesday, feels like a Monday.

I have mentioned the musical segment on the CBS Saturday Morning news before.  Every once in a while they hit it big, at least for me, and Devon Gilfillian was one of those artists.

Sometimes it’s best to let the artist do the talking so here’s Philadelphia native Devon Gilfillian’s thoughts:  “The Good Life” is a song that celebrates the beauty of connectivity, diversity and the fact that we’re all one.  Even in hard times, when we’re locked in our homes, we have joy and love within us that others need.  My goal is to spread the joy and love of “The Good Life” across the world and back.  I want to see the people dancing and singing and loving their lives from their own homes.”

What more needs to be said.

Stay safe and well...and wouldn’t Devon Gilfillian’s vision of the good life be great right now.

I remember yesterday

Trouble was so far away

Making castles in the sand

Everyone a different shape

But everybody was the same

When the lion kissed the lamb

So it seems, in my dreams baby

I'm talking 'bout that good life

I can see

All the colours show us what it really means

To be beautiful

Remember when the violence stopped

And all the doors were left unlocked

And a stranger was your brother

Remember when the bank got sold

And everybody took their gold

And everybody helped each other

Ooh, so it seems

In my dreams

Maybe

I'm talking 'bout that good life

I can see

All the colours show us what it really means

To be beautiful

I'm talking 'bout that good life

Where we all have peace

We don't shut our doors and tell them all to leave

'Cause they're beautiful

C'mon

We gotta act

A love attack

Take your mom back in town

Rewind to eden

Where we can find peace, Lord

If we just believe in

I'm talking 'bout that good life

I can see

All the colours show us what it really means

To be beautiful

I'm talking 'bout that good life

Where we all have peace

We don't shut our doors and tell them all to leave

'Cause they're beautiful
