"Stay!" Video

"Stay!" Video



This February, in honor of our 40th anniversary as a group, I have created a new video featuring pictures that celebrate who we are in the context of St. Valentine's Day. (Recently, we posted an OLD love song video, "This Loving Stream", from my first dance with Julia, THIRTY years ago this year! Another old video will soon be re-posted.)

So! Mike's brand new love song, "Stay!", is now up on ReverbNation & Youtube. It rejoices in all the marriages, family and group love and prayer we have and are experiencing. It also remembers those we have loved who have passed on, in particular, Cheryl, pictured here with Mike, who cared for her so much toward the end.

Peace & Love & JOY,
Mark LaJOIE!

Where Does This Loving Stream Flow?

Well, it's now February, and I think we are gearing up for St. Valentine's Day. We will share several items, including the new song by Mike. This song I recorded vocal and guitar on cassette and the wedding band played along with it for the first dance at our wedding, June 1, 1986. It's kind of hard to hear the words, so I will reproduce them here:

And when I first did see your face
Time and space stopped drift-ing by
And in your eyes I saw a trace
of that for which Man's Lov-er laid down his life

Where does this lov-ing stream flow?
You know it's say-ing 'Go with me! Go with me!'
For I feel an end-less hun-ger to be free in life
And I re-a-lize I love you
I love you

And when I first drank from the well
I could-n't tell you all the sweet-ness that I found
And as we come to know it well
Two ri-vers flow-ing now will join as one


Where does this lov-ing stream flow?
You know it's say-ing 'Go with me! Go with me!'
For I feel an end-less hun-ger to be free in life
And I re-a-lize I love you
I love you
