Feb 2022 girl-with-guitar folk-pop irish birthday cheer
I'm quite new to writing lyrics in general but this was my first attempt to write the lyrics first and I found it much easier this way round.
I'm clearly not bothered about my big birthday this year on account of getting to celebrate pretty much all year. Yay to that!
A decade past, that went fast
wise at last, turning forty.
An older face, a happy place,
still in the race but a little less sporty.
--
It’s time to make a biscuit cake
or something else instead.
As long as we’ve got candles and there’s
someone making sourdough bread....
--
It’s birthday year, it’s time to cheer
for a full twelve months, pull out the stunts
for birthday year, to get sincerely
drunk on fun and that’s the game here.
--
A soda stream, lights in green
who would have dreamed that we’d end up here?
A coast to coast, friendly toast,
a rave to boast the good old years
--
What’s ahead, remains unsaid,
stress has fled and we’re having a good time.
The years roll by, spirits high,
looking at eyes, still in our prime

This is so good, very upbeat and uplifting. I love the lyrics and the bouncy arrangement, a perfect match. The harmonies sound great.
