Every once in a while, our days must be full

Glad I stumbled on another one of yours Daniel. Like your confessional style and the playing you utilise.

Some good song writing and instrumentation. Nice

This is a song about life.  It can be difficult and drab but now and then something special happens.  It's not predictable but it does happen.

The singer in this version is me, but I'm hoping one day that a real singer discovers this song and makes it their own.

Once in a While

Verse 1:
Most of my days
Lot like the day before
I’ve taught my self
Not to expect anything more
Can’t complain
All of my days are full 
But they’re not particularly
Memorable

Chorus:
But then once in a while
Comes a day  
Quite unexpectedly - In my life
A surprise, once in a while
Before my eyes
Magic finds its way back to me 

Verse 2:
There’ve been days
Living in shades of grey
Hard to know
What it was painted them that way
I’d Like to think
That every single day 
I deserve to live in joy 
But life keeps getting in my way

Chorus:
But then once in a while
Comes a day  
Quite unexpectedly - In my life
A surprise, once in a while
Before my eyes
Magic finds its way back to me 

Bridge 1:
I know it can only be once in a while
Can’t expect anything more
But the magic of that once in a while
Make it all worth waiting for

Verse 3:
I’ve heard it said
That there might be ways
To learn to live in those moments
For more of my days
But I never tried
I say it’s not my style  
But it could be I’m addicted to the magic
of once in a while

Chorus:
Once in a while
Comes a day  
Quite unexpectedly - In my life
A surprise, once in a while
Before my eyes
Magic finds its way 
Magic finds its way 
Magic finds its way back to me

Once in a While

Once In A While

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.
