I’d like to write a song for you I could even try to write a happy one If I force myself to All about the good times that we shared the laughter and the joy and the funny things we said About all the things that just fell into place About the birds and the bees and the blue skies and the tall trees and flowers and the sunshine and the sound of mountain streams I’d like to write a happy song for you CHORUS: If you’re looking For somewhere to rest your head Don’t keep fighting with yourself Just talk about the weather instead Because loving is easier If we’d just make it breezier So let’s keep it light and simple And talk about the weather instead I’d like to play a tune for you I could even write a happy tune If you want me to You could hum it on your way to work And whistle while you’re in the park And play it on your old violin A sweet happy tune that you could sing, sing, sing to your children as they’re dreaming of the next new thing I’d like to write a happy tune for you CHORUS I’d like to dedicate this song to you I tried to make happier than I usually do I thought you’d like me to There’s always something new to say the weather changes day by day Sunshine or an arctic freeze Or the floods or the droughts or the rising seas or the gutters that are blocked up with the fallen leaves I’d like to dedicate this song to you I tried to make it happier than I usually do The way you want me to CHORUS + REFRAIN Genre Rock Comment by Fluff Lovely pace and melodies.

Brilliant arrangement. Guitars to organ to honky-tonk piano, some brass then back and forth. A little bit of this, a little bit of that all make great dynamics. Fab oohs, arrhs and vox. Superb kit, always love your drum work and recorded sound. That sneaky hi hat, ooh likey a lot. Top toon fella. 2023-03-10T08:08:44Z Comment by TheGat(s) Well, you were very successful in getting this upbeat tune out there, happy for sure, although LOL, I note that you kept the irony in there with the weather. 2023-03-10T06:36:40Z Comment by User 296935714 dm on the gram melodiesearz to get clout 2023-03-10T03:06:29Z Comment by chivicke Great work !!! superb arrangement, voices and production ....
