Original jangly guitar pop. Sometimes gets a little bluesy or jazzy.

Story behind the song
I was inspired to write this after attending a show by the vocalist Carole Martin. She did a wonderful version of 'Blame It On My Youth'. I especially liked how she did a straightforward reading of the lyric, but her emotion and experience was evident in every syllable. I wanted to write something that reflected that kind of subtext, and this was the result.
Lyrics
One day the rain will fall from the sky But you have no idea You'll be the one left wondering why But you have no idea Troubles will come, as sure as you're born In time, all will be laid low But the wisdom you gain from the heartache and pain Eases the sting of the blow You say you know what I'm going through But you have no idea You know how it feels to be shattered and blue But you have no idea Time is a healer, it can save your soul But the time and the place are beyond our control And the songs yet unsung lie too easily on your tongue And you have no idea
