Bright Side of Everything (MP3, WAV, Lyrics) (Patreon)

Selcouth is scheduled for an official release on Monday, February 14. This is the first single from the new album. It features the band Screeched Inn. They are a Celtic Rock band out of Canada. I was really excited to have them record on the single because they have a very friendly Celtic Rock sound, as you'll hear. Their music truly takes the song up another notch.

In fact, you can hear the original rough cut version here on Patreon. I also talked about the song after I wrote it. Bu that was nearly two years ago. You can see how the song evolved on the first Pub Songs & Stories podcast which will be out next week.

Thank you for supporting my music, and I hope you too see the bright side of every little thing today.

Bright Side of Everything Lyrics

"Bright Side of Everything" lyrics by Marc and Gwen Gunn, music Marc Gunn

The Mona Lisa never learned to smileYou came along and made her singShe’s not posing anymore. She’s dancing.You see the bright side of everything

A romantic walk along the sandy shoreThe sky opens and it starts rainingYou jump in puddles. We both start laughingYou see the bright side of everything.

Someplace better someplace warmSomeplace alone just you and meWe can laugh at life’s uncertaintyWhile it's happening And the bright side of everything

Though gravity may make us fallOur stomachs feel like they’re turning. You say...Falling is a lot like flyingYou see the bright side of everything

Night is falling. It is getting darkYou hold my hand like you hold my heart.Inside of me I feel torn apart. But...You see the bright side of everything

Someplace better someplace warmSomeplace alone just you and meWe could laugh at life’s uncertaintyWhile it was happening And the bright side of everything

Now you're gone and it's hard to breath.I think of you as you used to be.If you were here then you'd say to me, "Sweet baby, please... See the bright side of Everything."
