Well, folks, I sure am grateful to the folks at Soundclick for choosing "Monday Afternoon Rain" as the song of the day. I've been a songwriter all my life, but I wrote that song the day after Hurricane Katrina basically blew away my home in Pass Christian, Mississippi, and I tried to make sense of it all. And from tragedy comes wisdom, so I recorded a whole album where I sorted out my life and emotions in song. "Monday Afternoon Rain" is a song that I hope touches you as well. And if you like that one, check out some of my others. My music influences range from Bob Seger to Hank Jr. to Elton John, so the album in corporates many styles while still keeping a country-blues feeling. There's a music video for the song, and it's currently in competition in CMT's Music City Madness Contest, so I hope you'll head over there and vote. It takes two seconds and you can vote as many times as you like. It helps us remind folks that down on the Mississippi Coast, the recovery continues.... Thanks again to Soundclick.com, and all the folks who enjoy this music. http://madness.cmt.com

Lyrics
2006, Scott Niolet Layin' here Without you And wantin' to hold you in my arms The nights pass so slow Without you Barely make it to the dawn But when I close my eyes I can see you Your brown hair shinin' in the mornin' sun I know it's just a dream But I swear it almost seems Like the real thing When you're layin' there Without me Do I ever cross your mind? I wonder, are you thinkin' About me? When you dream at night, what do you find? 'Cause when I close my eyes I can see you Your brown hair shinin' in the mornin' sun I know it's just a dream But I swear it almost seems Like the real thing I know it's just a dream But I swear it almost seems Like the real thing
