about

While not a single, "Golden Gate" was what I contributed to Air3s's landmark "Universe" album. When I received the instrumental and MIDI, I instantly thought of something huge, something about San Francisco and coming alive within the city. I wrote a diva house vocal about the capital of diva house. The song stands the test of time all these years later, and is a classic addition to mine and Air3s's discographies.

lyrics

It surrounds me, the city's heartbeat
Sound of thunder as cars roll by
Hear it breathing over the city
Sounds of people, rings of lights

I can see the distant water
I can hear the echoing train
I can feel the air surround me
I just feel alive again

Stars awake in spectral wonder
Shining on me in neon skies
Caressed in palm winds, it surrounds me
Covered inside neon lights

A little village, ocean water
Ocean breeze form this place in time
For a moment, I remember
When I left this place behind

I can see the distant water
I can hear the echoing train
I can feel the air surround me
I just feel alive again
