Silver Lining
Today I tried to find a way to play/sing a song that Ron Scott and I wrote called Silver Lining.
I have lots and lots of disclaimers for this demo, but I’ll just let it be… Okay… maybe one disclaimer, I’m a mumbler, so here are the lyrics:
Silver Lining
Verse
When I was child
Did not realize
That changes would come
Colours would run
Run through my mind
Changes would come
Changes would come
Verse
Now I am a man
And I understand
Mistakes that I made
Choices I made
Are part of a plan
Mistakes I have made
But I can’t be afraid
Chorus
Cause there’s a silver lining for me somewhere
A simple melody that gives me joy
And no more of this thinking I’m gone and lost
I got to have faith, smile on my face, and keep moving on
Well I got to have faith, smile on my face, and keep moving on
Verse
So this is me now
I give what I can
I hope for the best
Cherish the rest
And put love in a song
I hope for the best
Cherish the rest
And put love in a song
Chorus
Cause there’s a silver lining for me somewhere
A simple melody that gives me joy
And no more of this thinking I’m gone and lost
I got to have faith, smile on my face, and keep moving on
Well I got to have faith, smile on my face, and keep moving on
Bach – Prelude No.1
Not sure why, but I felt like recording some Bach on the mandolin today. Here’s my version of Bach’s Prelude No.1 from the Well-Tempered Clavier.
SpringFall – “Silver Lining”
Here’s the second track from SpringFall, my writing project with Ron Scott. The tune is called Silver Lining and it features Ron on vocals, Sonya Mitlewski on keys and me on programming and production. Hope you like the song!!
SpringFall
My good friend Ron Scott and I wrote a bunch of tunes under the project name SpringFall. I know Ron (ever the perfectionist!) would have liked to have fixed up a few vocal things on this demo for one of our tunes, Two For One, but I think he sounds like a million bucks! Ron also did the artwork for this track… Sonya played the keys and I did the guitars and production stuff. This track is a demo, but I think you can get the vibe we were going for and I/we hope you like the music!
