Look To The Sun Alex Tait © Alex Tait 2021 When you look into the sun Things begin to blur as one Washing colours of the light Slowly fade into the night Ooo you know it's my favourite time of day When spinning sinks a star Well ,I gave, gave, gave him my everything And he took it away Then I told him I wanted him, needed him too It didn't make him stay It's been a long time since I've been feeling this I just wanted to say Things are slip, slip, losing their grip I still want to live passionately But love's not easy Give and take Can turn your head around I thought I found it But it turned out That we were losing ground Losing ground What he lost I found out I forgot it in me I had to take, take, take back my everything Cause he threw it away Then he told me he wanted me, needed me too Did he think I would stay I'm not sure how long I've been feeling this Something inside has changed So, I'm a dip, dip, give up this trip I'm still going to live passionately But love's not easy Give and take Can turn your head around I thought I found it But it turned out That we were losing ground Losing ground I won't just give up Think I'm gonna Move on and start again Go nice and slowly Take my time and Be sure to clear my head Clear my head Memories I dread I forgot it in me So, when you give, give, give up your everything And you look to the sun Keep your head in check, place your bets But remember the best may not come And if you find true love comes too easily Take a look at what he's done And if you think that something is missing Maybe this man isn't the one When you look to the sun When you look to the sun When you look to the sun

about

Over the past four decades this nine-piece global-jazz artists collective has become a family, one of profound respect and enduring friendships. The offspring of Manteca’s musicians have grown up in this musical family... backstage, proudly wearing their “All Access” passes, raiding candy at the craft table, sound asleep on the studio couch while a mix played back at ear-blistering levels, or starry-eyed when the tour bus came to fetch Mom or Dad. In some cases, their parents had left the band long before they were born and they had only heard tales of Manteca’s exploits on the road, and likely not as bedtime stories!

Eleven offspring of current or former members have followed in their parent’s footsteps, becoming professional musicians and composers who have achieved remarkable success in their own right. Surely, the elders have influenced the youngers, and now, with The Offspring Project, the youngers make their mark, writing six of the twelve compositions on this disc, in addition to playing on the entire recording.

This instinctive, intergenerational musicality is unique, perceptible and marks an exuberant exchange between the generations.

The Offspring Project was recorded at Revolution Recordings in Toronto,in October 2022, by Tony Crea & Luke Schindler & mixed by Jeff Wolpert and Luke Schindler.
