Can you be melancholic and upbeat at the same time
?
There’s always sunshine somewhere
There’s always people who really care
There’s always rain if you look hard enough
Like a portent of pain if you believe that stuff
But in the early morning
When the world is fast asleep
I’m thinking of the day yet to come
The wind blowing strong
Helps push the clouds along
Makes me think today’s gonna be the one
There is comfort to be had
If you’re prepared to go and look for it
Instead of looking for the bad
Why not turn it around
Early morning peace
Early morning hope
Early morning memories
Give me a sense of ease

"Why not turn it around?" That's a question we should all be asking more often, I reckon.
The tags do not lie: the shimmer on that guitar is lovely. Interesting question posed by the liner notes, too. I'd respond that one family member was usually described as "he's only happy when he's miserable."

Love your delivery and the vibey vibrato on the guitar with this mixed sentiment song! “Portent of pain if you believe that stuff”- great line.
