man, such a joyful song. summer is better with music like this

great upbeat melody fits the effort to cheer this guy up..like the rhythm change in third verse and the "speaking "part.   agree life is simpler than we make it out to be.

no apology necessary, your stuff is consistently good

Another great song, David. I love the spoken part. Amazing production as usual!

For the Soundcloud peeps: This is my first song for this year's 50/90 online songwriting challenge (https://fiftyninety.fawm.org/) and I apologise in advance for spamming you through the rest of the summer. It's a great spur for creativity, and I would genuinely recommend checking it out. It's not nearly as intimidating as the '50 songs in 90 days' concept suggests ;)

LYRICS

You take the sunshine
Turn it into rain
You take a good vibe
Burn it down it flames
'Cause when it comes to the positive
Oh, it's gonna be in vain
Mr Glass Half Empty 
Is trying to bring me down again

You got those problems
Burning on your brain
You don't want pleasure
All you want is pain
But is the long-term forecast
Always gonna be the same?
Mr Glass Half Empty
Why d'you bring me down again

I know that's it hard to be sunny
There's a lot of funny weather out there
But once in awhile you could smile
It makes a big difference, I swear

Let's lift our glasses
Throw 'em back again
Don't look so jaded
Allow me to explain
'Cause when it comes to the positive
Maybe there could be a change
Mr Glass Half Empty
I can make you smile again

Mr Glass Half Empty
I can make you smile again (repeat)

Mr Glass Half Empty
