Quickly becoming one of my favorite songs, Cellophane was schemed at the top of Mt. Pilatus in Luzerne, Switzerland roughly one year ago. As you can see from the picture, very few sites in this life parallel the beauty of a Swiss Valley and the magnificent Alps in the distance; however, as the song lyrics suggest, one other caused distraction:

Oh, look there!
See that gleam?
It’s the sun-
Your eyes the beam.

Below is the new recording of Cellophane from Mississippi Studios, PDX. Though the lyrics aren’t quite current in this version, I hope you’ll take the time to read along with the updates on the lyric page at some point. I laugh because when I wrote this song, my intentions were romantic but I’ve since been told that there is nothing romantic about plastic wrap:)

The water looked like Cellophane,
Reflecting stars back into space
And your eyes look that way to me.

Cellophane by Tyler Stenson

Random Note: Lake Pilatus is said to be the resting place of Pontius Pilate.
