Original Song: Music For A Rainy Day
MUSIC FOR A RAINY DAY
© 2019 Chuck Smeeton
It started out as a simple task
Make a poster from my past
Of album sleeves that marked a time
When a song had touched me in its prime
A tapestry of sound
Inspiration I had found
When a picture tells the story
Of youth and joy and glory
(Chorus)
This is music for a rainy day
When I don’t know what to play
Music for a rainy day
When I don’t know what to play
A collage of emotion
Of passion and devotion
Ninety squares of memories
That brought me to my knees
Colours that ignite
The past and do excite
Shapes and fonts reveal
What the music made me feel
(Chorus)
This is music for a rainy day
When I don’t know what to play
Music for a rainy day
When I don’t know what to play
About the original songs
In January 2012 I commenced a goal of trying to write and record at least one song from scratch each month – sometimes it comes easily, sometimes it’s a real challenge, but I love the discipline it creates. I managed to complete the year, but it was so much fun that I’ve decided to keep it rolling for as long as I can.
