Rainbow Bridge – ‘Party Wit Da Godz’ Exclusive Video
Road trips, electronics, things that require foresight, are all things that consistently abide by Murphy’s Law. Anticipating a recording with Rainbow Bridge in Olympia, Washington on February 21, 2010, it was assumed that “something would go wrong.” But for some reason, the adage fell apart with Rainbow Bridge. The entire day resonated with a “just right” tone. Front-and-center parking for hearty burritos with a side of exclusively for Sunday mornings conversation. February weather that was anything but February. The unyielding hospitality of Rainbow Bridge and the delightful setting of their backyard patio. Equipment malfunctions that ultimately enhanced the recordings. High fives and even friendship bracelets. The enveloping warmth of unexpected sunshine and captivating songs Rainbow Bridge shared with in the quiet Olympia neighborhood. Much like Rainbow Bridge’s approach to their music, the day was comprised of simple things, but good things. And when added all together, the feeling is wholly satisfying: like sinking into a a big comfy couch after a good meal.
The journey home continued as such, the setting sun bringing out the shadows of fir trees and casting a glow on the Cascade mountains. And as weariness set in after the long day, it was unavoidable to start humming Rainbow Bridge’s anthemic “Big Wave Rider.”
Apparently, Murphy’s Law doesn’t hold with Rainbow Bridge. Their music and good graces feel like a first-try swish on a crisp, new basketball net.
