Matt Breen from Australia sent me this prerecorded track and asked me to create a melody, write some lyrics and do the vocal. I did that and then mixed it down. Jamie grant did the video and added some needed ambience.
lyrics
THE SUN & I
(Aug 8, 2019)
Good Morning World
The Sun & I… We woke up together
Not a day goes by
That I don’t sit and wonder why
Amazed am I by the wordless poetry
Of the shore and the sea.
The Sun & I strolled the beach together
At the break of dawn
I can’t believe what’s goin’ on
The night is gone and The Sun & I agree
It’s a beautiful
Day to be beside the Sea… Just you & me
And the wind that wills the waves
To the shore endlessly.
Good Morning World
And good day to the wordless poetry
Of the shore and the sea.
The Sun & I
The Sun & I
Not a day goes by
That I don’t sit and wonder why
Amazed am I by the happiness I’m livin’
The Sun & I
The Sun & I
The Sun & I
The Sun & I.
