I wrote and recorded this music and sent it out to Trevor from the UK. He wrote the lyrics and recorded the vocal.
Story behind the song
Musical ideas come pretty easy to me but lyrical ideas are much harder. So I end up with a bunch of music all recorded waiting for me to come up with lyrics and since I'm not a good singer it makes it even harder to get a vocal recording of myself that I am happy with.
I met Trevor on a songwriters website and he has such a expressive voice so I sent him a few of my songs that I had been working on and he agreed to write some lyrics and do the vocals.
Lyrics
I opened up the curtains and saw that the sunshine had disappeared
i couldn’t believe it, it was all dark, it was no longer there
so put my boots on
and went outside and thought to myself
there must be something wrong
i couldn’t see the sunshine,
it seemed like it was all gone
gone gone
all there was was moonlight
that just didn’t seemed sit right no more
all i wanted to find was your love, out there by the open door
all i found was darkness
a darkness i couldn’t abide
i couldn’t feel anything
there was nothing down deep inside
i wanted to find your love
i wanted to feel it, hold it tight
i want to be with you, out in the sunshine, out in the sunshine, yeah
out where its bright with the good, but somethings gone wrong
somethings gone wrong and i don’t know, but somethings not quite right within you
i think our love is rotting away
without the sun its just rotting away
somethings gone wrong with our love, i don’t know what but i feel it’s rotting away
i think it rotting away cause you haven’t loved me since the early days
when all i want to feel is the sunshine inside
so help me try and find myself a ride
out to, where, the sunshine hides,outside in the open once again, out into the summertime where the sunshines, where we can be ourselves
where we can love and everything everything will feel alright
everything will be just ok
everybody knows that it should be that way
if we could only believe, just for one more hour, one more day
i could believe. we could see the sunshine
we could believe we could see the sunshine
