An homage to one of my musical heroes.

Written by Tom O'Brien
Performed by Tom O'Brien, Bob Elliott, Parker Elliott, Thelonius Elliot
Produced by Bob Elliott

Late one night, while lying on the living room floor listening to "Songs in the Ley of Life" in my headphones, I realized that Stevie always hears the music without images. All there is is the music. It seemed profound at the time.

Sometimes I play that music
In the middle of the night
And somewhere in the darkness
I begin to see the light
Gotta close your eyes and listen with your heart
When you're listening to Stevie Wonder in the dark

Cuz what he sees is magic
And what he sees is true
And when he paints ihis music
Then I know you see it, too
Every note is like a work of art
When you're listening to Stevie Wonder in the dark

It's just the Innervision
love transmission
Turning you on and on
The world that you envision
Finds fruition
In each and every song

Somehow he lives in our world
We can only visit his
But, when you feel the groove
Then you know just where that world is
And once you're there you'll never want to part
When you're listening to Stevie Wonder in the dark

It's just the Innervision
Love transmission
Turning you on and on
The world that you envision
Finds fruition
In each and every song

Whoever thought a blind man
Could teach the world to see
The colors of the rainbow
Singing 3 part harmony
Just close your eyes and listen with your heart
When you're listening to Stevie Wonder in the dark x

Super Cool 70s folk sound. Swear this was Cat Stevens or Simon and Garfunkel.
