Hardly the most profound thing I've written in a while, but it sure was fun (and quick 'n easy) to track. No deep-thought inspiration here: this one came directly from perusing my news feed on Friday after our big cultural loss, and still seeing so many vitriolic political posts. This song is 2:59 of me saying "can we give it a rest for one day, please?"
lyrics
That thing you're saying,
I know it's important
The sky is falling, we're
Waiting for the flood
But if you don't mind,
Can we have a moment
For one damn thing that
Ain't just slinging mud
You gotta give me
gotta give me
One good day
To block out all this noise
You gotta give me
gotta give me
One good day
To celebrate the little joys
You gotta give me
gotta give me
One good day
You've got to know
I'm on your side
When it goes down
I've got your back
But I'm gonna choose to live this day
Inside a lightness and love
Sometimes you've got to
Get yourself on track
You gotta give me
gotta give me
One fine day
To block out all this noise
You gotta give me
gotta give me
One fine day
To celebrate the little joys
You gotta give me
gotta give me
One fine day
