The Band is Cookin’
© Joe McMichael 2026While the night is feeling heavy
The weather looks uncertain
I just think of all the good things
How my life is finally working
There’s a beauty in such moments
When I let myself just feel
Find the right vibe and the real words
Trust the music to reveal✧
On stage the band is cooking
Feeling bluesy on a stormy night
While a steady rain is blowing
Not a night to be outside
People cozy at the tables
Faces glow by candlelight
Tonight, the band is cooking
My songs are hitting right✧
Waiters are grooving with the music
Couples moving on the dancefloor
Holding close and set in motion
By the tabla drums, and keyboard
A little East, a little West
A little jazz infused with blues
The words all fit the weather
And my voice knows what to do✧
On stage the band is cooking
Feeling bluesy on a stormy night
While a steady rain is blowing
Not a night to be outside
People cozy at the tables
Faces glow by candlelight
Tonight, the band is cooking
My songs are hitting right✧
Bending notes a little extra
Singing in a close-held mood
Not a dark song nor a sad one
But one that feels the way I do✧
People cozy at the tables
Faces glow by candlelight
Tonight, the band is cooking
My songs are hitting right
On stage the band is cooking
Feeling bluesy on a stormy night
While a steady rain is blowing
Not a night to be outside
On stage the band is cooking
