Dense layers of music at the beginning there Daniel. Your voice comes in sweetly and clear. Good lyrics. Like the river images. I like the reserved instrumental break.

This is the song referenced in "Blue Book", the story song that's also available on this site.  I found the lyrics in a fifty year old travel journal.  I tried to find Patrick Dietsch, the composer of the original song, but I was too late.  He died in May 2021.

When I found the lyrics my memory of the tune sort of came back. I was pretty sure about how the first line went and the first two or three chords, but I was unable to remember the rest of the song.  So I decided to write a melody and chord progression that reflected the original song as best as I could recall.  I really don't know how much of the song was written by Patrick Dietsch and how much was written by me.  The lyrics are all mine.

This became my song because I spent 15 minutes of scribbling on December 31, 1972.  I'd love for it to exist for a few more years with just a smidgen less obscurity.  

You can look up Patrick Dietsch on Google France.  He wasn't a superstar but he was a successful and respected musician with a long career.

====================

Verse 1:
Sunlight shining softly in the summertime
Feeling all the feelings flowing through my mind

Verse 2:
Have you heard the words that make you feel so free.
And have you got the time to spend some time with me.


Chorus:
Freely flowing
Sing a song of the river moving on
Freely flowing
Wait a while and watch the river rushing right along
The river seems to know - you’re right where you belong

Verse 3:
You know now baby pretty soon your gunna see
The same river flowing through you is flowing through me

Verse 4:
I want to know you cuz you see we have to care
We gotta lotta love and we can learn to share.

Chorus:
Freely flowing
Sing a song of the river moving on
Freely flowing
Wait a while and watch the river rushing right along
The river seems to know - you’re right where you belong

Verse 5:
Sing your songs now baby sing your soul to me
Let’s sit beside the river cuz it flows so free

Artist Comments:

I am beside myself with joy to honour the memory of my high school bestie Dan Wayne Dunlop (October 4, 1957 – November 17, 2012), by re-recording, producing and publishing his original song "Young Love".  Dan and I first met in junior high school and became the best of friends in high school.  We were bad, had tons of fun and jammed together often for many years.  Known by many names, Dan, Big Mouth or the Baron of Barrie, he loved the Barrie, Ontario community and its people. He felt at home in Barrie and even recorded a song, an ode to his adopted City of Barrie.  Dan, as an entertainer extraordinaire, was best known for hosting the comedy skit-based TV show "Big Mouth" winning a Rogers Television Award in 2005 as best on-air personality.  Dan, AKA "FastManDan," wrote "Young Love" in the late 1970s. He recorded it on a cassette player using a drum machine, his guitar, and, of course, his vocals. My AI attempt to revive the recording from my cassette copy didn't work out, so I decided to re-record the song. The great thing is I couldn't be more pleased with the results, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!  In many ways, Dan was my mentor.  I admired and took inspiration from his independent nature, courage, talent and outstanding determination.  A born comedian and later a cartoonist, singer, songwriter, guitarist, Impressionist, puppeteer, exotic pet handler, film producer, radio talk show host, cameraman and film editor,  Dan was one dynamite entertainer and a hilarious prankster!  Just as important was his good nature and big heart.  Dan truly cared about the well-being of others and was not afraid to show you that side of himself.  Dan influenced and affected many people's lives, and all are grateful to have known this man. I miss him very much and crack a smile whenever I think of the good times we had together.  As much as a man can love a man, I loved Dan – rest in peace, my great friend and brother!  Wow, is it not the coolest thing knowing that your spirit has a voice through this great tune of yours?

The Song: 

 "Young Love", with its catchy pop/dreamy groove, delves into that classic middle-age crisis that fosters a man's conflicting desire for younger women.

Think about the love we had
You don't even understand 
Inside you'll be dead

Now

Cause now you're just one of them
Maybe just don't know it yet 
This will end it all

But 

This thing, the music never dies
It just goes on and on
Into eternity

Yeah

Now that im free i can see

You don't have the courage to live your dreams
 

Danger from strangers, you're Judas in a way 

Brain dead, fainted, burn in hell

Danger from strangers, you're Judas in a way 

Brain dead, fainted, burn in hell


Just don't try to deny, that those things you do in live
never ever do comply with who you once were, with what we loved, it's all over now for you

But the music never dies
It just goes on and on
into eternity

Yeah

Now that im free i can see
You don't have the courage to live your dreams


Danger from strangers, you're Judas in a way 

Brain dead, fainted, burn in hell

Danger from strangers, you're Judas in a way 

Brain dead, fainted, burn in hell


Think about the love we had
You don't even understand 
Inside you'll be dead

Now

Cause now you're just one of them
Maybe just don't know it yet 
This will end it all

But 

This thing, the music never dies
it just goes on and on...[music stops]

I write songs.  I'm not a performer any more than I need to be to have my songs heard once in a while. I hope that better musicians than I encounter my songs and decide to play them.  I just write songs to have them exist in the world. If the world likes them then the world can do with them what it will.  All these recordings are demos.  I've tried to make them as musically interesting as I can but they are all awaiting the skilled hand of someone who knows how to make songs shine.
