Born and raised in South Florida, fully reaping the benefits of full moons over the beach, Mike nurtured his artistic sensibility. In school, he would leave class for a bathroom break, raid a guitar from the chorus room, and entertain one of the few classrooms lucky enough to have an open-minded teacher. He then hit the open road to see the country right out of high school, a common rite of passage from the book of all true soul searchers, from which he wisely took a page.
He has done the research, folks, walked his shoes to the sole and bares the fruit from the experience. He offers reprieve from the waiting line, to tempt that latent part of you that knows there is more than just this. So come and see the spectacle, and experience an audio-erotic seduction of your senses that springs forth from a child-like foundation. You may come with a safe word, but you will walk away feeling contently violated.
Lucky Coin
Mike Mineo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She dances in the wind with a tattooed chest
And I pick her up in my convertible Corvette and give her ride she'll never forget
And we fly down the path speakin poetry
Takin deep breaths of the forestry around
On our way to be found,
And I wish, I wish I could want nothing
The horizon is red and the sand reflects neo
Past all the beauty of a worldly cause,
I can't fell the pain where my mind has gone,
And I meditate the day and fall in a trance
I watch the sun rise and it makes the heat waves dance around,
Knowing I'm no where bound,
And I wish, I wish I could want nothing,
In the fountain of youth where the water is pure,
The indigo children ponder upon it's shore
They take little sips from the heavenly pool
And wonder of a world where love only rules,
And I walk up to the fountain with my wrinkles on,
The children are singin and it's my favorite song
As I drop a coin in and move on,
And I wish, I wish I could want nothing
The universe is vast in it's manifested infinite creation
There's a time there's a place,
There's an ocean there's a space within your imagination,
But I wish, I wish I could want nothing,
I wish, I wish I could want nothing
The lyrics of "Lucky Coin" by Mike Mineo is about the desire for a simple, carefree life free from want and materialistic desires. The song is divided into three different verses, each with its own setting, and together they represent a quest for inner peace.
In the first verse, Mineo describes a scene of summer love with a pretty girl in a hot sundress. He wants to take her on a ride in his convertible and fly down the road, feeling the wind in their hair and breathing in the scent of the surrounding forest. Despite the beauty of the moment, Mineo wishes that he could want nothing, which could suggest that he is aware of a deeper, more meaningful existence beyond the superficial pleasures of life.
In the second verse, Mineo transports the listener to the Arabian Desert, where he finds himself in a state of meditation. He is captivated by the beauty of the sunrise and the way it causes the heat waves to dance around him. Once again, Mineo wishes that he could want for nothing.
In the third verse, Mineo finds himself at the fountain of youth watching the indigo children. They are drinking from the fountain of pure water, and Mineo is drawn to the idea of a world where love rules supreme. As he drops a coin into the fountain, Mineo once again wishes that he could want for nothing.

Makes me cry inside. I miss your dad more than you'll ever know..
I didn't handle it well; that's why I've not brought myself to call you or Johnny.
He was one of the fucking most beautiful human beings I've ever met.
Love,
Leekai
