Sunshine fill my soul
Let the blues be the first to go
Sunshine can’t complain
If life shows us a little rain
Chorus
Sunshine through the window
At first morning’s light
All the stars fade away
When sunshine gets so bright
When sunshine…
Sunshine fill my soul
Let the blues be the first to go
Sunshine can’t complain
If life shows us a little rain
Chorus
Sunshine through the window
At first morning’s light
All the stars fade away
When sunshine gets so bright
When sunshine…

There is a story behind this song. I'll leave it at that for now.

I Can't Seem To Find My Way Home
Featuring Norm on Percussion Track: "Pilón For A New Son"

Lyrics:
Searching for something
I wonder and roam
Hoping the truth
Soon will be shown…
I started out this morning thinking about Norm’s fantastic percussion and came across this song. Norm let me use one of his percussion tracks to fill out the song. He has an album of 94 collaborations on his Alonetone Page.
There is a story behind this song. I'll leave it at that for now.

Here we go.
This one started out one morning several weeks ago when the sun was still shining...
If it's as wet and dark as it is here, just close your eyes, I'm sure you can imagine it if you try hard enough...
Lollies, chips, and beer…
Oh,
Iron jaws, wrapped around my legs,
Try to gnaw, but why would I want to.
Why would I want to.
Oh,
Fresh cut gauze, soaking lips,
Trying not to fall, but why would I want to.
Why would I want to.
Silent pines, know my name
Even…
Old timey'st of versions. reminiscent of a deserting war warn civil war solder heading back to see a lady left behind. Close your eyes and try to smell the camp fire and burned coffee.
Just in time for the big 2012 election!
*** BANJO WARNING ***
Just me and me banjo.
Inspired by a story my journalist daughter in Moscow just published. She was too small when we moved to Russia to remember that politicians shaking hands…
I love it Robert! Your song is like a breath of fresh air. Well done my friend!
The banjo sounds fantastic, and by the way, I thought the *"BANJO WARNING"* WAS A NICE TOUCH.
This is the result of a songwriting challenge that Andy took part in on a songwriting forum he uses
We were all given the same lyrics and then sent away to see what came back and see how different the results would be in styles etc ,
There's…
I was going to get another cup of coffee this morning, but I don't think I need it now!
Freight . . . you can really get all the jelly beans rolling in the same direction. Nice going!
Here's a new one, heard a saying on an advert, 'your home isn't a home unless... ' Out popped this, right let's see what you've all been up to lately, had a few days off. Catch up time.
I've been messing about with my virtual keyboard this week, in preparation of an amazing collaboration I'll be working on soon :)
Beat and sax are from Mixcraft.
Enjoy! xox
Virtual Keyboard? That is something I know nothing about, but I must say you have produced an incredible track here!
The whole thing, vocal and music, is captivating.
Good one Lady! I'm looking forward to your collaboration.
Wonderful Lyrics, and a *GREAT* message!
Right on Brother! Sometimes I wonder how we ever made it through our teens & 20's.
Now we are more or less respectable and still here. Go Figure!
This is the third, maybe forth time I recorded this tune.
I like this one best.
taken by surprise
a fine disguise
they came from across the sea
always moving closer
my eyes could see
then they called in the calvary
First just a…
I wrote this thing in 1994. When I played it to some friends back then they went "yeah, but where's the rest of it?"
I've been struggling with that concept ever since. Then, a while ago, a couple of kindly souls removed that worry from me…
Mrs R is right . . . *"It's ready"*
You have acomplished what many can not; Offer a complete thought in a succinct manor.
Nice going Andrew! You make it sound easy.
Another one jip1965 sent to me for playing with!
Silent and magical
Calming and practical
Moonbeams, silver moonbeams
Filtering through the air
Twinkling in our hair
Moonbeams, silver moonbeams
Dancing on the leaves of trees
Shaking…
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff

Good stuff ....
Came back for another! Wait!!! It feels like I’ve heard this before. Woodchucks!!! (Lame groundhogs day reference) Love this song. And glad you made it without breaking something
too funny...great chorus!! ...... you win
OMG! Hilarious!!!!! True story? Just a pigment of your imagination maybe? Woodchuck hallucinations indicate a need for MORE WINE!
Came back for another listen. Love this so much. I can imagine you doing a whole album about historic subjects. I’d definitely listen to that!
Amazing lyrics. Wonder song and nice tribute.
Love this song. Nice feel, great lyrics.
Put together nicely.
So clever Greg, a peach of a song ...... maybe a Giant Peach .....
You are amazing! What a great subject and cool to have this lovely look at history set to your beautiful music. I really love the chorus!

Key of G . . . I was playing right along with my trusty harmonica.
Great *"Feel Good"* Song. Makes me want to fill the car up and take a drive.
I love the sound of acoustic guitar. Nice song, nice singing, and nice playing! It reminded me a little of David Wilcox.
That Whistle . . . Wow!
Good Easy Listening! Way to go Roger!
Yes . . . I can smell the campfire!
I love it Robert! Your song is like a breath of fresh air. Well done my friend! The banjo sounds fantastic, and by the way, I thought the *"BANJO WARNING"* WAS A NICE TOUCH.
Delightful
I like these "Story Songs".
Damn Straight! That's Telling them. This should keep us till the new song appears.
Beautiful. It flows well and the music really supports the lyrics well. I have to admit . . . I was looking for at least one *"GOOD GAWD"* in there.
*Ooooh! You are a softy Roger!*
I was going to get another cup of coffee this morning, but I don't think I need it now! Freight . . . you can really get all the jelly beans rolling in the same direction. Nice going!
Go get um Fran! Great Song / Great Delivery You two sound like you are having fun.
Virtual Keyboard? That is something I know nothing about, but I must say you have produced an incredible track here! The whole thing, vocal and music, is captivating. Good one Lady! I'm looking forward to your collaboration.
I just had to push the "PLAY" button again. That guitar sounds pretty good.
Wonderful Lyrics, and a *GREAT* message! Right on Brother! Sometimes I wonder how we ever made it through our teens & 20's. Now we are more or less respectable and still here. Go Figure!
Big subject and big sound to match. Well done! I think Tess is on to it, turn up the voice track a little. Harmonica is a nice touch.
Mrs R is right . . . *"It's ready"* You have acomplished what many can not; Offer a complete thought in a succinct manor. Nice going Andrew! You make it sound easy.
I see what jip1965 is talking about. The song has a touch of melancholy (at least to my ears). Very inviting. Good one Lady!
