When I wrote the first song on Feb 1 I imagined it kinda like Pink Floyd's Animals, the song would bookend the album, returning as the last song too. Here's how it finished up on 2/28.
Thanks, FAWM!
Waiting For A Sign (Reprise)
If you’re waiting in the sunshine
And a song it starts to sing
And while it’s kinda chilly
You finally found a thing
Just walk into the room
Find a chair and take a sit
If you are waiting for a sign
This is it
When the light it sheds upon you
And it time to make a move
After many opinions
You’ve decided what to do
Just walk into the room
Find a chair and take a sit
If you are waiting for a sign
This is it

Also reminds me of Puff the Magic Dragon.

Love it. Bittersweet though - it's kinda like the endless call to mission at the last church I was in!! I'm too much a sucker for these kinds of notions but too many complications holding me back, responsibilities and mental health issues & various existential questions - OCDing the morality of everything including the inaction - also too full of ideas for my practical confidence & support network. The good thing about this song is it's not asking much even if interpreting what it means for you if there's no immediate ideas of equal simplicity, but I can imagine it would work when you need that kind of sweet magic & it could be anything, just a drift through a creative town and joining a concert not a life commitment! It's also nostalgic, as secular version of that kind of church "follow the call" prompt but also as reminiscent of kind of whistful listless & poignant longing & expansiveness in a lot of kids TV themes from the 70s & 80s.

Love the crackling sound at the beginning and end like the bargain bin used vinyl that I bought in my much younger days. Kind of a cool folk vibe and I like how the song gets right to the point!

Hah, Disney are also fond of a reprise, that's what attracted me to this! But it is a cool idea. I'm not very good at walking in and taking a chair quietly so I always feel a little insecure!! But I agree that this is a very catchy song: I daresay, a comfy place to sit with legs!!

A very catchy melody and nice performance. I like your voice. Good song!
