about

Celebrate Everything is a song. A song Faithful Johannes was asked to write for Base Camp Boro's Celebrate Everything project - check out all the stuff they're up to here - www.facebook.com/CelebrateEverything69

It is not about being a relentless optimist. That'd be exhausting. More about taking the time to enjoy the little bits of magic all around us.

Oh and there's a video over here youtu.be/9-WIkIXu1po

lyrics

Stuff don’t have to be perfect
There’s glory in the inept
And stupid sometimes
There’s magic in margins
Amongst the Emilys and Martins
The mutual jealousies of artists
The crevasses of my carcass
And the melodies of our youth
Switch off the tele some nights
And look around, get grounded
Found a stain on the tiles
That was a frowning Adrian Chiles
Sent a picture to my cousin
Caught in her kitchen
Belly laughing
Doubled over
Giggling
Cleaning out her oven

I try to Celebrate Everything
The extant
And the extinct
The farfetched doppelganger
We using Improper grammar
Celebrate Everything
Entertain anything
That brings warmth or joy
These are worth more than them flash toys

Bear the quips of thine enemies
Share YouTube clips of Laurie McMenemy
Order in some Lebanese specialities
Guess the sememe hummus recipe
But it doesn’t have to be so fancy
I am the inventor of the quiche sandwich
John Jaques said he’d eaten
The best teacake of his life
It made me think twice
About what I could be missing
With my current disposition
I went back the bar
Saw further than my nose
Got a pickled egg
And wrote a poem
Told a friend I liked their songs
Bought a sketch I’d long admired

Now I Celebrate Anything
That kick starts the hypothalamus
Even the well of sweet sadness
I dug myself aged fourteen
Celebrate Everything
Don’t get me wrong
I’m still frequently miserable
And a deeply cynical man

Celebrate Everything
Celebrate Everything

Celebrate new finds and
Fads that long faded
Celebrate the moment you wake
When the problems you created
Overnight dissipate out
Celebrate your first home
Vegetable ferment
And that epic
Snowball fight with strangers
