about

Ed Hogan writes: Pulsating positivity can be one way to describe The System's new dance pop single, "The Toast".Toast as in toasting the good life, which no doubt you'll do after listening this aural equivalent of a B-12 shot to your psyche.Besides the duo's hallmarks of intelligent songwriting and forward-thinking audio alchemy, the track has uplifting nuggets of wisdom that are appropriate for these challenging times: "lately I've been learning how to do with less…..take a moment and be thankful…..gotta make the best of everything you've got".

lyrics

It seems like lately I been learning how
To do with less now I even learn to do without
I count my blessings and Im devil may care with the doubt I reach out and touch faith
Why you asking me if I believe sometimes I just need somebody to believe in me
So take a moment be thankful and breathe

So here’s a toast to the Good Life / Good Life / Good Life / Good Life
Everyday it’s the good life / Good Life / Good Life / Good Life
You know you gotta make the best of everything you’ve got
So here’s a toast to the good life, The good good good good lifeeee

Looks like I have to get crazy or ill never survive
Sometimes your sanity will make you wanna lose your mind
Still searching for a love devine reach out and touch faith
GOODLIFE
Heaven know whats on the other side
Get thru the worst to get to the best of times
And live each moment like the last day of life

So here’s a toast to the Good Life / Good Life / Good Life / Good Life
Everyday it’s the good life / Good Life / Good Life / Good Life
You know you gotta make the best of everything you’ve got
So here’s a toast to the good life, The good good good good lifeeee

And if youre listening you know the best things in life are free
And if youre listening say I don’t have to feel guilty here tonight
