Story behind the song
Written for the CC psychedelic song challenge May 2017..... another last-minute recording by me. Otherwise I might have had a bigger arrangement/production, but sometimes quick and cheerful is effective in its own simple way.
Lyrics
She wakes up every morning Ready to face the day No matter what the weather brings She blows the clouds away Dancing down the street she skips And trips along in play Lighting up every place she goes And blowing the clouds away Mmm mmm mmm ... Working for her scholarship She's never gonna make it pay Never mind, she's got peace of mind Blowing the clouds away Her friends are like well the best you know Forever and a day Clever but you'd never know They're blowing their minds away She's philanthropic but quite myopic when it comes to how to think Bangles and beads fulfil her needs More than food and drink La da da ... She wakes up every morning Ready to face the day No matter what the weather brings She blows the clouds away Dancing down the street she skips And trips along in play Lighting up every place she goes And blowing the clouds away

Nice Folk Rock feel Tim - kind of a "sing around the campfire" song. Nice melody that's catchy and smooth.

Wonderful tune and the psychedelic touch in the production makes it more than just a good folksong. Great songwriting like always from your hands, Tim! It has a certain innocence, that is hard to find in music today. You nailed it. Again :)

Awesome. What a great vibe. A beckoning sadness for me. Great vocals and delay. The acoustic guitar sounds great as well. A poignant and sweet folk track.

A little folksy, a little trippy, a lot fantastic. Once again you prove you really know how to write. The perfect tune for a partly cloudy day. The "sound" with the layered guitars blending with the vocal echoes is impressive, well crafted and thought out for a song you claim was done so quickly. :D

Very cool reflection on the way things used to be back in the days of younger dreams and a more peaceful time. Nice!

Nice reminisce of the 60's age of peace and love and lost innocence :)
