I Gotta Pocketful O’ Solstice Magic 2019

June 21, 2020 Filed Under: Seasonal

I wrote this song for summer Solstice event at the Salisbury Centre in Edinburgh in 2019. About 50 of us sang it round the fire on a beautiful summer evening in the garden. It works well to start with tune A (I got a pocketful o’ solstice magic) to establish a strong beat. Try bringing the different tunes in and out as you wish.

Music score: I gotta pocketful o’solstice magic

A
I gotta pocketful o’ solstice magic,
I gotta pocketful o’ solstice love
I gotta pocketful o’ solstice magic,
I gotta pocketful o’ solstice love

B
Summer sun and the shortest night,
May your dreams unfold, may your hopes shine brightly in the
Summer sun and the shortest night,
May your deepest passion take flight

C
Summer blessings on all who gather here (x2)
