about

This song is called Sun Song #12 because it's the 12th song that I've written that starts with the word "sun".

It was released on the Tonic Notes Records compilation album 'Blame In On The Bucky IV' late last year.

I hope it's ok with them that I've put it on my bandcamp.

This was originally a tune I sang to my wee girl when she was a few months old. She had this glove puppet with animals on the fingers, she would lie on the floor, I would fly it around above her, sing a tune, it was blockbuster stuff.
Eventually the tune got long enough that I could leave the bits about the cheetah and the elephant out and there was still enough there for it to be a song.

The music is a tape loop and some 909 sounds mostly. It contains a sample of one of my other songs, so now that it's released I can sue myself and get some good publicity.

lyrics

lyrics:

Sunlight across the shining sea
Loves comes to us happily
Where does it come from?
No-one knows, it must just be magic
I suppose

Somehow some power has surrounded us
and has now confounded us
It's like fire, brimstone, water, wind etc
They say hey maybe we play with your heart today
but they mainly came to say I love you

Sunlight across the shining sea
Loves comes to us happily
Where does it come from?
No-one knows, it must just be magic
I suppose

All them centuries spent were meant to be
Gently you were sent to me
Like fire, brimstone, water, wind etc
They say hey maybe we play with your heart today
but they mainly came to say I love you

And I love you so, when you arrived the joy inside us overflowed
and those embraces, goodness graciousness your face
You chased the grey away, and now every day's a surprise
it feels like slides and balloon rides

I love you now, when you alighted by our side safe and sound
and all was still, a thrillness filled the air around
You chased the grey away, and now every day's a surprise
it feels like slides and balloon rides

And I love you, yes, and slow the story grows, it's only words I guess
they can't convey the goodness graciousness your face
You chased the grey away, and now every day's a surprise
it feels like slides and balloon rides

And you opened up our eyes to see
Loves comes to us happily
Where does it come from?
No-one knows, it must just be magic
I suppose
