The ehMTee Show - POINT EDWARD FAIR ( LIVE )

On March 20, 2011, I hosted The ehMTee Show, a music and light comedy variety hour. Featured special guests included Mantler, who helped me out on one my songs, Point Edward Fair, excerpted here. That's Alex Cheung on violin.

The entire show can be found in rough form here:

but is in the midst of being edited and remixed for YouTube. Stay tuned!

This show was presented as part of the Home Theater Festival:

POINT EDWARD FAIR
© 2011 Must We Wait Forever Music

POINT EDWARD FAIR
HIGH IN THE AIR
STARLIGHT MEMORIES THERE

EVERY YEAR IN SUMMER
THE CARNIVAL CAME TO TOWN
FERRIS WHEEL WAS LIT UP
YOU COULD SEE IT FOR MILES AROUND

POINT EDWARD FAIR
HIGH IN THE AIR
MAGIC SPARKLED UP THERE

TWO BY TWO WE GOT IN
IN A POD OF OUR VERY OWN
TWELVE YEARS OLD AND CLIMBING
RISING UP TO THE GREAT UNKNOWN

POINT EDWARD FAIR
HIGH IN THE AIR
NIGHT LIGHTS TWINKLE UP THERE

RISING FAST MY HEART BEAT
NEON SHINING IN BOTH OUR EYES
LEANING IN TO STAY WARM
HOLDING HANDS THEN I REALIZE

POINT EDWARD FAIR
HIGH IN THE AIR
FIRST LOVE CAME TO ME THERE

With this song, I knew exactly who and what I was singing about. lol Thank you again for taking the time to ponder a response as kind as this one. One can draw much cinematic grandeur from the memories one has of one's teen years. Some context: we went to the carnival right after watching Grease at the local cinema. "Summer lovin', happened so fast..."

@bladerunnertarifa Thanks for listening!

I've taken a while to comment upon Point Edward Fair because I wanted to properly formulate my response. This song is so dramatic - I can easily picture it as a mini-movie music video or the theme song to a tragic teen flick - and it has the seldom-attained capacity to make the listener f-e-e-l as if they're living through the experience, too. Simply superb!
