by now you shouldn’t be surprised that I had another song planned. I had the tracks laid down and the basic melody in place, and then I shrugged. I asked my daughter and wife what I should write a song about… “sunshine” they both replied. So, I sat down to start over and play with that idea and lo, and behold, sunshiny day came out. Once the melody idea was in place – I decided to write about the last couple of sunshiny days we have had as a family, click on the blue button to stream the song sunshiny day .. If you want to download this song, or listen to other Wednesday Wallops go here and the lyrics are here. if you would like to purchase an album – go here. If this is your first time at the site, fyi, you will notice a style in this song which is quite different from the “norm”…but one of the joys of this project is that I don’t really have to worry about a label or others expectations – I just write and publish – and you are welcome to join me on this journey. If you would like to see some top picks from the fans go here. The only thing I can say for now on this whole topic of songs, good VS bad, inspired VS routine, successful VS failure is a quote from Leonard Cohen I read recently “I don’t know where good songs come from, if I did, I’d go there more often”…have a great sunshiny day!
Beautiful!
I really like this song – it is my favorite of all of the songs you have written so far.
Thanks so much. This seems to be a family favorite too…I heard of a relative crying when she heard it – and for me that is also a first. I am a learning a bit about songwriting as this goes. One songwriter said in an interview that “the first 100 songs are garbage” – presumably for most writers..another writer said “volume, volume, volume”as far as numbers of songs…because not all of them are going to be good. I really appreciate your comments, it is encouraging to me.
