about

With this song I tried to capture a bustling, festival feeling, with clapping, tambourine, and short, simple lines. I wanted the recorded version to feel like a performance one could actually witness at a gathering--not only capturing a sense of this Dionysian spirit, but sung as if summoning it.

lyrics

Di-o-ny-sus
Hear the pipes!
Raise your glasses
Drink your wine, oh
Di-o-ny-sus
Live life fine!
Praise be beauty
Dance in line, oh

A call to Dionysus…
A call to Dionysus…
Bless this gathering!
Let’s be merry!
Play your pipes and live life fine!

Bless this gathering!
Let’s dance wildly!
Raise your glasses, drink your wine!

God of gatherings,
Spare me misery!
Let’s dance wildly, drink your wine!

Di-o-ny-sus
Bless this gathering!
Spare me misery, drink your wine!
