about
This is my debut single inspired 100% by my friends that I can always depend on to "dust me off and fill me up with a joyous sound" even in my darkest times. Friends that can see past your flaws and fears are the best kind of friends you can have. Even when you lose your way, there they are with their arms wide open and light to guide you back.
This track features some of my closest musical friends I've met while in Seattle and I feel so honored to have them on my debut release under my new artist name, "Soulbaum." I couldn't have made this track what it is without the guidance of Chris C.D. Littlefield (Karl Denson's Tiny Universe) and the support of some of my closest friends and financial contributors.
Thank you for your encouragement and support (in no particular order):
Stuart H., Jay F., Eric M., Stevor C., Marina C, Todd S., Cliff H., Teresa E., Justin W., Luke J., Susan C., Michelle S., MacKenzie E., Noah W., Bret C., Jason S., Minami F., Joseph D., David P., Sandy C., Brandon D., Richard R., TJ O., Dick M., James K., Art B., Sandy A.,
lyrics
Sometimes I find I feel this way
A sunny sky that's turned to gray
But then it's just another day
I'll be alright
Everything is going to be ok
When life begins to bring me down
I turn to all the friends I've found
To lift me back up off the ground
And dust me off
fill me up
With a joyous sound
It's alright, it's ok, life is gonna go this way
Find the light in the night and you'll never lose your way
It's alright, it's ok, life is gonna go this way
Find the light in the night and you'll never lose your way
It's like a dream that just keeps right on shifting
You're on a path while you're second-guessing
The one your own seems like it's crashing
But it's not
There's still a lot
And that's the best thing
Just take a look around and you just might find
The path behind a straightened line
Leading you to make things right
Take a step
And I bet
You'll get through this fight
It's alright, it's ok, life is gonna go this way
Find the light in the night and you'll never lose your way
It's alright, it's ok, life is gonna go this way
Find the light in the night and you'll never lose your way
You might get lost on a tempting ride
It's getting darker on the other side
You feeling scared enough to run and hide away
Start looking for another way
You'll find a bright day if you find another way
You'll find a brighter day!
It's alright, it's ok, life is gonna go this way
Find the light in the night and you'll never lose your way
It's alright, it's ok, life is gonna go this way
Find the light in the night and you'll never lose your way
