Here Comes the Sun

Change is brewing. It seems like the winter months are a hibernation for more than the bears. This new year I really decided to buckle down and prioritize my life based on not only what i find to be important, but also based on what I need to survive. Bears go into hibernation after gathering and eating enough food to survive for many long cold months. It seems to me that I gathered all of the resources I needed over the past years in college to prepare me for this long winter. I have been working very hard, organizing, writing, building on what I believe to be important. The essential ingredients? An idea, a guitar, food, family, the internet (it's a mixed blessing)... and most importantly, LOVE.

There are many things we can survive without. Many many things. Believe it or not we could even do it without this internet business. But one thing I know I cannot survive without is love from my world around me. It's essential. It fuels songwriting, it encourages me to get up in the morning despite the cold temperature, and warms me up when the sun goes down at 4 pm.

I've realized that at the end of the day, love is absolutely the most important thing-- loving what I do and who I share it with.

As the days are growing a bit warmer and the sun stays out a bit later, I'm continuing to focus intently on realizing my dreams. But one thing is for certain: nothing is worth it in the end when love is not around you. Love is in an embrace, it's in the suns rays, it's in our coffee cups, the stories we tell and re-tell, and it's in the smile from a stranger you've passed before. Don't turn it away, and certainly don't ever prevent it. Love is what we need to survive this long winter.




Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right
