Hi everyone,
Feels good to be back from an 8 month break from songwriting.
I wanted to write a song that felt like a "driving along the coast" kind of thang! I am NOT a guitarist & don't own one,but I did the best I could with the iPads Guitarism app linked to GarageBand & Tonestack apps.
The songs just about celebrating a successful,long term relationship. (Shout out to my wife!
)
All thoughts and critiques are welcome.
Thanks so much
Leo

Stars hold your fire
Save your luck for the wishful thinkers
We've got everything we need tonight
This ocean drive
Takes us right back to the start
After all these years have passed.
I still remember the first time we met
When you cursed the sky
Cos your hair got wet.
Chorus.
August Rain in California
As rare as the moment,sparks were gonna fly
Under that broken sky
Yeah,you thought I was only a plaything
A one night daydream
Now look where we are
We're a comet among stars
The kind of love you see once in a lifetime
This love is a once in a lifetime.
Those were the nights
Busting out of the constellation
Didn't wanna live in black and white
Your northern lights,were a midnight feast for eyes
that were going colourblind.
We were so young,now just look where we are
Cos we've come so far & it all started here under that...
Chorus
Bridge.
We keep burning through the dark
While others fade away,we still feel the same,feel the same.
