Such a beautiful, sweet, gentle, moving and life-affirming song. Just so joyous and full of warmth. Gideon Coe on BBC Radio 6 Music played it plenty of times on his show, and I loved it each time. wonderful...

*A NOTE ON SHIPPING COSTS*
I get a lot of emails about the pricey shipping costs so I just want to address it here. I'm not scamming you. These are the actual costs of the US postal service priority mail right now. Especially shipping outside of the USA, the costs are very high, I know. I wish I could do something about it to make this more accessible but I can't. I only send priority mail now instead of a cheaper media mail because I've had so many issues in the past with things getting lost or destroyed if I don't send priority mail and then I end up having to reimburse the cost of the record as well as the shipping and I've lost a lot of money that way so this is really the only option for me shipping right now unfortunately. Just know that all the shipping costs are going towards actual postage, I'm not pocketing any money beyond the cost of the item. I understand if you can't stomach the shipping cost, I don't blame you....love you anyways :)

This song is an anthem of sorts about the possibility of each new, seemingly meandering and unimportant day. I use the reference to Bloomsday, born from James Joyce’s “Ulysses”, as a substitute for any day, just a normal, nothing special, any day. The song is meant to inspire the agency we have over our participation in any day. Although it feels like much of the time we are being pulled along in life, we have the instrumentality to find within us light and belief.
lyrics
Bloomsday
Hey, everything must always start again, That’s how it goes my little Mickey Finn
They rob you and they kick you when you’re out like a light, I know it’s happening
And everybody’s wondering where their little light is
And everybody’s wondering where their little light is
Give me something, Bloomsday’s coming, open up the doors and have a goddamn beer
Ring the baker, the butcher, the charioteer, the palm readers in Salem, the engineer
And everybody’s wondering where their little light is
And everybody’s wondering where their little light is
This little light of mine, i’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, i’m gonna let it shine
So are you a socialite, do you buy candles to pricey now to light?
Or are you an Okie from Okmulgee just making due with wax and pride?
And everybody’s wondering where their little light is
And everybody’s wondering where their little light is
This little light of mine, i’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, i’m gonna let it shine
