Yellow Door, Dusty Soul – Memories Through the Eyes of my City

spring, when the world

is mud-luscious and

puddle-wonderful,

down Montreal’s city streets

strolled musicians bold and colourful.

And there, amidst the bustle and the noise,

the Yellow Door Cafe stood proud,

a haven for the artists and the bohemians,

a place where music flowed.

Oh, the legends that graced that stage,

their melodies sweet and true,

Joni Mitchell, Cohen, and Buckley,

each one with a unique view.

Their voices rose and fell like waves,

their fingers plucked the strings,

and through the night, the magic swirled,

like the wind’s wild, whimsical flings.

The Yellow Door Cafe, a place of legend,

where the music never ends,

where the poets and the dreamers gather,

and the soul finds its amends.

Oh, Montreal, your Yellow Door Cafe,

a jewel within your crown,

a place where music and love unite,

and the world is turned around.
