about

Petey Devaney opens "Gift Called Life" with an up-beat groove on the guitar, opening the floor for Wilson to get people dancing on the drums. Some layered percussion instruments add a bit of an island vibe to the mix in anticipation of Devaney's rich vocals. Although the song is lighthearted in nature, it holds a deep meaning to the band because it was written in the wake of the Devaney's father's tragic passing. Petey aimed to capture the positivism that his father brought to the band as their biggest supporter and inspiration. This inspirational pop gem, while honoring the fragility of life, acknowledges that every day should be celebrated because to have life at all is truly a gift

lyrics

Let’s Go!
Rah!

Gone in the blink of an eye
Say goodbye to that gift called life
Don’t waste all of your time
Living your life in the assembly line
Party people, love your neighbor
Come together, be my savior
Holding on to courage
Just to be a little braver
Don’t ever let them become between us again

Dance Dance Dance Dance!
Don’t stop, we not get another chance
Dance Dance Dance Dance!

(Rah!)
Gone in the blink of an eye
Say goodbye to that gift called life
Don’t waste all of your time
Living your life in the assembly line
Party people, love your neighbor
Come together, be my savior
Holding on to courage
Just to be a little braver
Don’t ever let them become between us again

Dance Dance Dance Dance!
Don’t stop, we not get another chance
Dance Dance Dance Dance!


Leave it all behind, leave it all tonight
Keep moving till the sun stop shining(4x)

Keep moving, just keep moving!
Dance Dance Dance Dance!
Don’t stop, we not get another chance
Dance Dance Dance Dance!
