Name: Secret Onsen (Live at Martha Hill)
Duration: P00H05M51S
Description: Mart Z wrote this song about a magical night in rural Japan (Kisuki, Shimane Prefecture), when he was shown the way to a secret onsen built in a river next to a small, narrow road. This enclosed pool, built around a natural hot spring at the side of a river, was the perfect respite to a rousingly athletic evening of taiko drumming.

lyrics

Come with me-- look what I've found...
I found a source of the underground.
Next to the river there's a neat little pool--
concrete and stone-- pretty cool!

Take me to a roadside where I can soak my bones.
Beat and wail the taiko, but speak in gentle tones.
Let's work hard, let's play the skin.
Listen closely, listen within.

ooooooooh....... 1, 2, 3, bathe!

Out of space, out of time...
In the dim, starry shine...
Places to bathe are places to stay.
Secret onsen, take me away...

ooooooooh...... (etc)
ooooooooh, Brad Brad Brad D!

(The concluding line is unique to this performance. It highlights the awesome mystic power of the Wonders bassist, Brad DeMatteo)
