A happy, bouncy song!

Life Can be a Sunny Tune

Woke up this morning with the sun upon my face,
Jumped out of bed and made a coffee which sank without a trace
The world outside was calling me to walk down to the sea
I happily obliged, because it’s so great to be so free.

As I strolled along the beach I could hear the crashing waves
While nature'd painted colours that just took my breath away. 
On into the town, where I met up with my friends. 
Happiness and laughter was spinning all around.

Oh, life is good, like a melody we find,
Dancing on the iphone, leaving worries way behind.
In the laughter and the love we can make up our own songs
When the rhythm's good it seems to right so many wrongs!

So here’s to the moments, the happy and the sad
Every laugh and every tear, none of them are bad.
When the world gets tricky, just take a look around,
There is good in everything if it can be found

Oh, life is good, like a melody we find,
Dancing on the iphone, leaving worries way behind.
In the laughter and the love we can make up our own songs
When the rhythm's good it seems to right so many wrongs!

Life is good, life is good! 
Oh, life is oh so good!

So let the music play and let the laughter flow,
In this great adventure of life, there's so much love to show.
With every single step we take, every place where we alight,
Life can be a sunny tune, that dances with delight.

Life Can be a Sunny Tune

I think everyone has been in this place at some time in their lives. God loves you. We are all in this life together. ; ) 

Lyrics-
I've been wandering
Searching for a place that feels like home
Lost on paths where I've gone astray
Now, I'm pleading...
Dear God, I'm drowning...
please stretch out your hand 
and rescue me

Lead me back to the path 
You always had in mind for me 


[Verse 2]
I heard the choir sing your name out loud
In a church where once I stood 
Praying now, please remember me
I want the good in You 
to be the good in me 


[Verse 3]
You are Love,
You are forgiveness
You are unfailing grace
I want to be among your people 
in this healing place

[Bridge]
Hearts I've  broken,  words I've thrown
You said I could leave it all 
at the foot of your throne

[Chorus]
I'm coming back to You 
Forgive me for the paths I've wrongly trod
I'm coming back to you, back to You
Because You are my God
You are my God

[Verse 4]
There is nothing in this world 
that can give comfort like you do
In your love I find my identity
of who I am in you 
Feed my spirit with your words of truth 
I hear you calling
Now...
I'm calling after You 
I'm calling after You

[Bridge]
Hearts I've  broken, words I've thrown
You said I could leave it all 
at the foot of your throne

[Chorus]
I'm coming back to You 
Forgive me for the paths I've wrongly trod
I'm coming back to You, back to you
Because you are my God
You are my God 


I'm coming back to you 
I'm coming back to you 
back to you

Back To You

Superficial

As I drove through dusty country 
Trying to find my way back home
I was thinking of the future and
Whether I would stay alone.

I had met her in a bar 
And she had left me the next day
As she always did
But she left me wishing she could stay

Only met her for a few brief hours
Long enough to realise
Long enough to realise
That she was only superficial,
Clearly superficial
She was superficial

Despite all of my misgivings
I could not make her disappear 
And she occupied my mind
Even though she wasn’t there

She had made a big impression
With her laugh and with her looks
But I knew that I meant nothing to her
She had other hooks

Only met her for a few brief hours
Long enough to realise
Long enough to realise
That she was only superficial,
Merely superficial
She was superficial

I didn’t need her to be
My girlfriend or my wife
Artificial but hypnotic
And she’ll shred somebody’s life

So I carried on my journey
Tried to wipe her from my mind
I knew there were lots of 
better women I could find

But I couldn’t purge her memory
She had burrowed deep inside
She continued to distract me
And I knew my hands were tied

I didn’t need her to be
My girlfriend or my wife
Artificial and hypnotic
And she’ll shred somebody’s life

Lyrics by Phil Hawker



Superficial

SIT BACK

When a woman has a choice to make...

Driving down the road, It's past midnight
The stars look down shake their heads and say 
She ain't thinkin right 
Wearing my heart on my sleeve and it's heavy
Someone better save me from myself already

Can't sit in my skin
 itchy foot itchin again
It's not where I should be going 
But I know where they keep the whiskey flowing

Somewhere off highway 90
Tennesse plates behind me 
Looking in the rearview mirror I see a fool
it's crazy what a lonely woman will do

[Chorus]
Damn... someone better reel me in
Before I throw my heart away again
My heart's been burned to a tender crisp
Someone better talk me outta this

Late night dive bar with the jukebox playin
Cowboys giving me the eye
I'm just sayin'
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining

Under neon lights where the devil plays
Sweet talk like smoke blowin'  my way
He's leaning in for a kiss
Someone better talk me outta this

You'd think I'd know better by now
I know how this story ends 
I've been here before
I know how this story ends 
I've been here before
His boots on my bedroom floor

I don't know why I'm here
I'm about to cross that line
I must have lost my mind

[Chorus]
Damn... someone better reel me in
Before I throw my heart away again
My heart's been burned to a tender crisp
Someone better talk me outta this

Start talking...
Somebody better start talkin
Start talking...
Somebody better start talkin

Someone Better Talk Me Out Of This

So I'm strangely addicted to murder shows. True Crime I mean. For YEARS. 
I think I've seen them all.  Podcasts too. I ran out. And had to watch something wholesome. What a eye opener. Got me to thinking that I trust no one because of what I watch. Time to switch. To like Disney or Bluey or something.

Switch

When you love a beautiful human being, fighting with addiction. 

I've been calling you for days
now I'm knocking on your door
The bruises on your face, tell me more
than your words could ever say
 
I break down and cry 
tears I've wept a thousand times 
I see the demons you fight inside 
You've declared war with the bottle

I love you 
My friend....listen to me 
I hate to say it, 
you're not winning....

You line up empty bottles
like glass soldiers in a war...
You say you're going to quit
Another bottle goes down 
there's another to replace it

Time keeps slipping through your hands
In that empty bottle land

[Chorus]
Another empty bottle
You pour out your pain 
with the next you'll do the same
knee deep, in another bender 
You raised the white flag of surrender
Another empty bottle 
Another empty bottle

I always was your first responder, 
pulling you out from the burning ship of pain 
Cigarette smoke curls like an SOS
but everything stays the same

Pull you out, both hands burned
When will I ever learn?
I always wanted the best for you 
I tried so hard to stop this cycle
But, you didn't want to

I found you, passed out on the floor 
you can't remember the night before 
ohhhhh the stories 
you keep spinning
Another tale, another fall

I want to smash every bottle against the wall 
Those God-damned empty bottles
 take it all... They take it all...

You're a shipwreck on the shore
One foot in the grave
You've got nothing left
but the consequences of the 
choices you've made

I stand stone-faced on the parapet
looking at the wreckage
Telling you everything will be alright
I can put out this fire...

Now....we're both liars...

EMPTY BOTTLE

Lil Deezull - Lovesong Ft. Brixton

GOD IF YOU'RE REAL

Love of mine some day you will die,
But I'll be close behind.
I'll follow you into the dark.

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white;
Just our hands clasped so tight,
Waiting for the hint of a spark.
If heaven and hell decide,
That they both are satisfied,
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs:

If there's no one beside you,
When your soul embarks;
Then I'll follow you into the dark.

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule,
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black,
And I held my tongue as she told me,
"Son, fear is the heart of love."
So I never went back.

If heaven and hell decide,
That they both are satisfied,
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs:

If there's no one beside you,
When your soul embarks;
Then I'll follow you into the dark.

You and me have seen everything to see;
From Bangkok to Calgary.
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down;
The time for sleep is now.
It's nothing to cry about,
'Cause we'll hold each other soon.
In the blackest of rooms.

If heaven and hell decide,
That they both are satisfied,
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs:

If there's no one beside you,
When your soul embarks;
Then I'll follow you into the dark.
Then I'll follow you into the dark.

I Will Follow you into the Dark (Death Cab for Cutie Cover)

I have always loved music. I learnt piano as a child and have dabbled with guitar without ever learning it ... until now! I have been in choirs most of my life but have not really delved into making music until the last few years. After initially playing around with Garage Band, I moved on to Logic Pro and that's how nearly all of my music has been produced.

I use digital software, guitar and keyboards to produce my original music. I compose and edit using Logic Pro. Other people's vocals or collaborative vocals for any track really are very welcome! 

I love the interaction on Soundcloud and the comments from other musicians and composers are so helpful and supportive. Keep making music everyone!
