Song information
I posted this on iComp and MacJams back in the day, and thought it would be nice to share as it's only of my personal favorites among my own stuff. An amalgam of the Addrisi Brothers, The Cowsills, and The Association with hints of the Beach Boys. With the exception of the conversation during the musical interlude and the laughter at the end, all the vocals are by me, though I would love to have a huge choir for the backing vocals, so if you're interested in joining in, PM me and we'll discuss vocal range and I'll get you a version with just your part to sing along.

Lyrics
I just can’t help but smile
I can’t stop grinning...

I don’t understand how she can turn the night to morning
And yet the sky is filled with silver starlight
There’s something absurd she brings to every new day dawning 
Does she mean to be
Just a dream to me

I don’t understand how she can turn the rain to rainbows
That shines from noon until the verdant twilight
So preciously perfect under alabaster moonglow
Now it’s clear to me
Why she’s dear to me

Look at the way she fills my world with laughter
Sweet Mary Jane
Wherever she goes my heart goes tumbling after
And time stands still

A bubbling breath and then she fills my heart with gladness
A whispered word and now the world is upside down
I suddenly realize the magic in her madness
More than memory
She means so much to me

We’re dancing slowly through the pages of her story
And marvelous music always echoes all around
This feeling I get when she reveals herself in glory
Clothed in ecstasy
Wrapped in harmony

Look at the way she fills my world with laughter
Sweet Mary Jane
Wherever she goes my heart goes tumbling after
And time stands still

The touch of her kiss and I end up feeling fine
Her supple embrace and I’m relieved of tension
I’m walking around in love all the time
It’s like I’m living in the ninth dimension

Look at the way she fills my world with laughter
Sweet Mary Jane
Wherever she goes my heart goes tumbling after
And time stands still
And time stands still
And time stands still
And time stands still
And time stands still

Look at the way she fills my world with laughter
Sweet Mary Jane
Wherever she goes my heart goes tumbling after
Sweet Mary Jane

Nice tunesmithing, Parade! This evokes, for me, some of the stuff Andy Partridge has done solo and with XTC as the Dukes of Stratosphere. Fine work!

Even before reading your description, I thought of the Cowsills. I even heard some George Harrison guitar in there. Lots of stuff going on here.. The laughter is infectious..

Hey I just came across this tune. Love it. It's very 60s I grew up in the 60s with music like this. Yeah this is a great song. I love the guitar solo as well very much like George would play it. I want to say awesome my friend. I really enjoyed it. Thank you. Marcello

Pass the bubblegum! You pull together multiple period threads to weave a great organic tapestry. I could hear the Turtles doing this during their "Eleanor" period.

I think Brian Wilson could have come up with something like this, if some of his fellow Beach Boys hadn't been such buttheads.   I also hear Paul McCartney when he was with Wings, and Marmalade, if you remember them.  In any case, it's a fantastic song with great production and conceputlization.   Great work overall.
