I write one song every day. I'm alone with the kids this weekend and to just get today's song down quickly, I recorded it at the speed of lightning. But at least I've started today's song and hopefully will get it done a little later today!
Update: Got the whole structure in place. And the awesome @gorban added a very quick suggestion for a solo. Thanks buddy! Can't wait to get it sorted out and recorded more properly!
[Verse 1]
The top is down
The sun is up
Crusing 12th avenue
[Verse 2]
We're still young
Wild and free
Got nowhere to be
And everything to do
[Pre]
Got your hand on my lap
And your heart in mine
Life is made for living
And not a cloud in sight
[Chorus]
Nothing but good times ahead
Nothing but good times ahead
Yeah, this life's made for living
And I've got you beside me
I can't believe how lucky I am
[Verse 3]
We make a stop
Just because
Catch the sunrise
Set the ocean aglow
[Verse 4]
You take my hand
draw me close
whisper come on
whatcha waiting for
[Pre]
Then we run to the beach
Throw our clothes by the road
Scream like we're crazy
As we dive in the gold
[Chorus]
Nothing but good times ahead
Nothing but good times ahead
Yeah, this life's made for living
And I've got you beside me
I can't believe how lucky I am
[Middle-Eight]
[Chorus]
Nothing but good times ahead
Nothing but good times ahead
Yeah, this life's made for living
And I've got you beside me
I can't believe how lucky I am

This is such an uplifting song! I love the lyrics, „nothing but good times ahead“ - really needed someone saying that today :) like the vocals too, great harmonies, and also great guitar solo.

You guys work well together. The lyrics open up the light-heartedness and the guitar carries it off perfectly. Congrats

@gorban yeah, that could be fun! Wanna try giving it a whirl? :)
@gorban Feb 2022
An upbeat one! And catchy! I could hear a clean or acoustic guitar solo in a break there somewhere.
@theicylakes Feb 2022
Thank you @celineellis, that makes me happy to hear! Gonna keep hacking away at it for sure.

Thanks @mikeb! There’s more on paper. Kids willing I’ll get more down a little later! And ha ha, yeah, I’ll keep going for one every day for as long as possible, but we’ll see. Would be super cool to make the entire month!
@cicpisces Feb 2022
Nice upbeat number. Enjoyed the vocal tone and the harmonies. Really did lift my mood. Keep it up.
@mikeb Feb 2022
A song a day is an admiral ambition. I start FAWM that way, but quickly slow down!
A nice Saturday morning ditty, I wanted it to keep on going!
