about

I wrote Beautiful Animal as a wedding surprise for my wife Rebecca. We agreed to make each other wedding gifts instead of buying something and I had never written a song about her, so I decided that's what I would do. After a few iterations, the song came to be Beautiful Animal. I sent the song out to a bunch of my musician friends, who I knew would be attending the wedding and asked them to learn it. As the one big surprise part of the day, that Rebecca hadn't planned or been aware of, I assembled my merry band and we played the song for Rebecca. I hope others will find encouragement in this tune, as we are all beautiful animals perched and ready to unfurl our wings, we all have the power to be anything and do anything with our lives. We are resilient, amazing animals.

lyrics

You are a beautiful animal
An eagle on a pole, waiting to soar
Oh--- oh---
Our love is like the firelight
Oh--- oh----
We're dancing in the moonlight

We can do anything with this precious life
We can be anything, with love in our minds oh---- oh---
Our love is like the firelight
Oh---- oh---
We're dancing in the moonlight

We'll make the greatest love the world has known
That love will carry on, long after we're gone
Oh--- oh---
Our love is like the firelight
Oh--- oh----
We're dancing in the moonlight
Oh----- oh-----
Our love is like the firelight
Oh--- oh----
We're dancing in the moonlight
