about

This is a single off the upcoming album, "Welcome Color."

This melody arose amidst lunch-time laughter with friends during a Yoga training in Australia at an eco-farm called the Krishna Village.
Special thanks to all the folks in Australia who supported this song from it's very spontaneous birth and into it's fruition. Thank you for your laughter, much love ~

This song is also sang frequently after meditation sessions with my favorite folks at Farrel Pomini in Ansonia, CT. Thank you for your kindness and openness.

Special Special thanks to all the friends who supported this tune afterwards when I wasn't giving it enough love. I love you.

Written and Performed : James Bird
Mixed & Mastered : Mr. Bird Studios
Recorded in Portland, Oregon in a magical cabin

lyrics

It was a friday,
I swear I've had better days,
I was on my way to Byron Bay to find myself again.
But there was light then,
in that moment I saw the sun,
as it rose over waves of gold, I saw the light reflect within

Now I don't mind,
I will live until the ends of time
I'm the Sun, I'm not the cloudy day
I will find the light inside me

I came alive then
Turned into my own best friend
when love seems so far away,
I take a breath and part the skies my darling,
can't you see the sun?

I don't know who I am anymore,
but I don't mind my friend
I hope you see
