When we met again this time
With our long-absent embrace
A smile I hadn't seen before
Drew its curve across your face

You shone brighter than the sun today

Small clouds were passing in the skies
I watched them move color shades in your eyes
The rain once here had cleared away

So we lay there on the grass without a care
And watched the swifts circling in the air
Above the river in the rays

You shone brighter than the sun today

River, sun, and sky spun in a dizzying whirl of blue
With it all revolving around me and you
But something else blinded out everything else there
With the wind's angel hands in your hair

You shone brighter than the sun today

Brighter DEMO - Open Sky Creative

Open Sky Creative is a project started by Paul Christenson in 2007. He is a writer, producer, and keyboardist influenced by the progressive rock of the 70s and electronic music that came to center stage in the early 80s and has been writing and recording music since 1987. 
"I have always been captivated by the mystery of music as long as I can remember. Why do sounds effect us the way they do? Why do we associate air vibration with emotion? How is it that the difference between joy and dispair can be a simple half-step in pitch?

I am formally trained as a visual artist and my approach to music always has that visual counterpart. I will always perceive myself as a painter of sound."
