about

"Be Resurrected Tonight" tells the story of Niagara Falls resident Hugh McDonald.

A friend to many, a consummate artist of many mediums, a gentle, kind soul, and one of the most interesting weirdos we've ever had the pleasure to know.

lyrics

Be resurrected tonight!
As the clouds saunter past the moon,
Yes, raise your finger in the air,
And share related obscure facts,
In the way you used to do.

Be resurrected tonight!
Recite Japanese poetry,
Grasp ancient secrets of Sanskrit,
Tell a knock knock joke in Latin,
Or in any tongue you please.

CHORUS
No fame was sought, no sins were bought, no falsities did you claim,
Patron saint of artists, weʼre calling out your name,
Walk amongst your harvest once again.


Be resurrected tonight!
With Dante escape from the flames,
Teach by your gentle examples,
If you thought your ways escaped us,
Well, you better think again.

Be resurrected tonight!
Blend olive oil, vodka and herbs,
Mix in the essence of wormwood,
Turn it into superpowers,
Advance the super absurd.


Two weeks before you left, you closed your bank accounts,
And showed us what came out, you threw it in the air,
Because you didnʼt care. Yea, isn't life so funny?
Although Chernobyl hurt you, it didn't kill you first;
We actually suspect it was the tainted liverwurst.

CHORUS


Be resurrected tonight!
Tell St. Peter you will return,
After you visit Vincenzo’s,
Eat your corn muffin for breakfast,
And share it with the sparrows.

Be resurrected tonight!
That Farnsworth, he had a strange dream,
Of burned out melted techno gear,
A black path leading to darkness,
He thinks you sent a warning.


Two weeks before you left, apparently you knew,
Like mom and dad did to, when their time came as well,
You believed all who had faith, were given ample warning,
To pack up all their things, and tie up the loose endings.
Say goodbye to pain and strife & greet sweet paradise.

CHORUS
No fame was sought, no sins were bought, no falsities did you claim,
Patron saint of artists, weʼre calling out your name,
Walk amongst your harvest…
Walk amongst your harvest…
Walk amongst your harvest once again.
