The World's Okayest Dancer

by Jean-Luc

supported by

Christine Rollando Love it. Spectacular weaving of our ridiculous situation and finding some internal peace

mataytayandjosh This beautiful and flowing song just glides into your ears and makes your day just a little bit cooler. Well written lyrics and a ‘cool’ vocal melody really work well here. I stress the word cool because the chord progressions really emphasize this bigger swelling world out there and with the vocals: it’s just a nice little pocket of fun.

about

A meditative song to bring you peace during these dark times.

lyrics

I choose my outfit with great care
But I'm not going anywhere, no
I dim the lights and pour the wine
You never call me back, but that's alright
You must not know

I'm the worlds okayest dancer and I wear my title well
I'm the worlds okayest dancer, when I'm dancing by myself, all by my self

If you turn that TV on
They'll be talking bout the bomb, oh
There's so much going on outside
So I have found this place to hide
And I become

The world's okayest dancer, I spin and cast my spell
I'm the worlds okayest dancer, when I'm dancing by myself, all by myself

And the sun burns brightly, through the fractured ozone.
What stands between us, and dinosaur bones?
And the big one's coming, tectonic tension,
Will they drop the bomb? Deranged dissension.
And the pig-face president, he tweets it all,
From his dark-glass tower, from behind his wall!
Will my life be altered, irrevocably,
By these men in power, by their savagery?
I don’t know, no one knows, but tonight

I'm the worlds okayest dancer and I wear my title well
I'm the worlds okayest dancer, when I'm dancing by myself
Oh I'm the worlds okayest dancer, I spin an cast my spell
I'm the worlds okayest dancer, when I'm dancing by myself, all by my self

(Would you join me? All by ourselves.)
