Ironically, the band I found today was Ivory Drive. Struck me a bit meant to be since yesterday was the band iD. If you don't get that it's not too important. I really am digging the trumpet with these guys. I am going to just dive into the music as it has left me feeling really inspired.

Yep, I can take on the world with these tunes. The song for today is Breath of the Victory March. First off major props for being able to keep in tune while singing "Victory". Has anyone tried singing the word victory? Singing that word is an accomplishment in itself.
The organ begins our mission into Breath of the Victory March and at this brief moment sets the mood. Shortly, following the bass and the organ come in together to create a chaotic background and really ignites the song. The music pauses and then with the drum roll launches us off into the war march. This kicks off the trumpets disco blend. A light pause and the energetic vocals set in.
The song is all over the place, but in an utmost wonderful way. Such a graceful blend of genres from jazz, rock, tad of 70's. really a beautiful array of styles. Towards the end of the song the music dies down with only the vocals and a soft reflecting piano. Then ramps up again with the same energy to fuel us press forward. I really enjoy all the stops and different tempos throughout Breath of the Victory March. Oh, yes I definitely want to stop and take a look at the stars now. The song wraps up with the same uncertain organ as
the opening.
Breath of the Victory March in general keeps me motivated to tread on to victory. I could go deeper but Ivory Drive did some work for me so I will spare the further dissecting. Here are the lyrics:
Simple to take a step with thee
Forward then, and on your knees
Everyone take a look at the stars
Simple to take a single stride
Toward then and bow down with pride
On your shoulders
Reaching for the stars
Everyone take a look at the stars
Another step and a march begins
Moving then and we all will win
Everyone sees the third step not so far
Another stride in time with all
The drums will drive this past the wall
Of stubborn standards staring from so far
Everyone sees this march could take us far
Lighting torches, grabbing swords and knives
Guns and shells would soon arrive
The only thing that’s scarce is victory
Hail to the champion of
Victory of war, not love
Look for the white flag waving for victory
Victory is what is sought
Vision goes past what is fought
Vows that rows of people have died for
Victory to continue through
The different ways to get to you
Is what they go to all this trouble for
Is the way they go worth dying for?
Another simple step with thee
We, the people, on our knees
Marching, yet, a path with ways to war
Something in the stride we lend
Is possibly finally different
Maybe come a fork, we’ll veer from war
Or march down the glory path to war
Lighting torches, grabbing swords and knives
Guns and shells would soon arrive
The only thing that’s scarce is victory
Hail to the champion of
Victory of war, not love
Look for the white flag waving for victory
Victory
Simple to take a step with thee
Forward then, and on your knees
Everyone take a look at the stars
Simple to take a single stride
Toward then and bow down with pride
On your shoulders
Reaching for the stars
Everyone take a look at the stars
Everyone take a look at the stars
Everyone take a look at the stars
Everyone needs to stop
Everyone needs to stop and take a look at the stars
