about

Tonight" promises a party, a fete with friends, neighbors, family - basically, any loved ones that can make it to your backyard before the sun rises!! Tonight you'll celebrate, perhaps the resolution of some burdoning issue or the accomplishment of some personal goal. It may be so personal that nobody else even knows about it. The point is that YOU know and you need to share your new found joy TONIGHT!!

lyrics

Tonight
Gonna string up the white lights
Crush up enough ice
Sweep off the patio Let everybody know
We' gon' have a party here
So put on your red skirt
I'll iron my good shirt
The band's on the way Even I might play
We' gon' have a party here

I tell you this feeling has taken a hold of me
It lifts me up and sets me free
And now that spirit's got the best of me
I'll surrender to the ecstacy
I float to the ceiling I feel like I'm worry free
This big ol' world was too heavy
Now all I'm lifting is my voice to sing
And all I carry is the tune in me

But in truth I say
I really didn't know if we would be okay
That was yesterday
With what I know today
Come what may (Have no fear)
We' gon' have a party here

Tonight my vibe won't be denied
I can't stay inside

Gonna string up the white lights
Crush up enough ice
Sweep off the patio Let everybody know
We' gon' have a party here
So put on your red skirt
I'll iron my good shirt
The band's on the way Even I might play
We' gon' have a party here

Like a kid on a new bike who finally learns to ride
A joy that's pure fills me inside
The perfect thrill is just too good to hide
I couldn't hold it if I tried

But if truth be told
I haven't had this feeling since I was eight years old
Memory as good as gold
Reminds me to be bold
Tighten up my hold (And have no fear)
We' gon' have a party here

Tonight my vibe won't be denied
I can't stay inside

Gonna string up the white lights
Crush up enough ice
Sweep off the patio Let everybody know
We' gon' have a party here
So put on your red skirt
I'll iron my good shirt
The band's on the way Even I might play
We' gon' have a party here

Tonight while this mood's so right
Tonight let my soul take flight

about

PAN DULCE featuring Alan Lightner Los Angeles, California

"Pan Dulce" the food is literally, "sweet bread". "Pan Dulce" the band is just as tasty and filling! The band features Alan Lightner singing and playing steel pans on energetic, yet beautiful compositions/arrangements from calypso to cha cha, reggae to R&B and everything in between. In Trinidad, when a pannist plays well they say he or she plays "sweet". Yes, and Lightner does play pan "dulce"!! ... more
