Love this intro. What a splash of finely played acoustic guitar. John is a terrific guitarist both on acoustic and electric.  Sweet uplifting vibe, and can I say it enough?...superb vocal performances.

All we can say is "Wow!  What David Dunham said..."  :-)

Excellent song and video i really like the electric guitar solo in the middle of the song and the solo arund 2' 23"

Making Movies

A song about yearning. 

Lyrics:
And even the simplest things can move me
The hint of a smile on your face to soothe me
And sometimes the saddest tale won’t bring a tear to my eye
But sometimes a simple word from you will suffice

It happens, if it happens at all, when your beside me
It happened one night late in the fall, late on a Friday
Standing on a bridge looking out 
At the smoke rising up from the trains in the station sleeping 
A chill in the air in the wind in our faces
There’s the strangest mood in the atmosphere of these places
I can’t get over the simple things
I get carried away with such simple things

And some of the simplest things can move me
The hint of a smile on your face to soothe me
And sometimes the saddest tale won’t bring a tear to my eye
But sometimes a simple glance from you will suffice

How many times in how many ways I’m reminded of you each day
Trying to recover the truths we discovered, the secrets we gave—secrets we made
Standing in the street in the rain
Looking up to see the light is out in your room
Dreamy and distant and desperate, washed out for a while
Till pain and time and love smooth over the trace of a smile
Cant get over the simple things
Get carried away with such simple things
Who-o-o-oh love’s a simple thing, yay-yah

Rinse & Repeat (KENNA-RAE/Druid667)

I recall I wrote most of the melody of this song inside my head while travelling and on some pre-written lyrics.  However when I got down to the singing, I couldn't cope with some of the notes.  I'm so glad Terry came to the rescue and did a marvelous job here.    He also brought some very nice tweaks to the melody, lyrics & harmony arrangement.  Hope you like our collaboration.

[LYRICS]
Skies, inconsistent skies, bring uncertainty
Rain, incessant rain, keeps on pouring...(pouring down)
Hopes, elusive hopes,
Only keep us dreaming
Endless waiting is the saddest place to be

Oh I have tried so many times to do the best I can
Somehow it doesn't seem to matter at all
I ask myself what I'm gonna do when all's been done and fallen through
Now I'm standing with my back to the wall

(Chorus)
Life, everyday sort of life,
Living everyday through the rain and shine
World, this ruthless world,
Keeps on spinnin' in time
Empty days, and rocky ways,
Far too many for us to face
It's been one of ….......
It's been one of…........
It's been one of those days
It's been one of those days

Instrumental break

Repeat Chorus

It's been one of, it's been one of….
It's been one of those days
