Song of the week - SOS

No, it's not the song by Abba... though they've been plauging me lately....


There's so much to love about this song, this band, this singer....


I could go on, & on, but I'm going to let the lyrics speak for themselves.  Spearhead roughly play hip-hop, I guess... Not sure that Michael is so easily categorised, but that's my go of the style!  


It makes me want to dance like nobody is watching!

The Sound of Sunshine

I wake up in the morning at six o'clock
They say there may be rain, but the sun is hot
I wish I had some time just to kill today
And I wish I had a dime for every bill I got to pay
Some days you lose, you win and the water's as high as the times you're in
So I jump back in where I learned to swim
Try to keep my head above it the best I can
That's why
CHORUS:
Here I am, just waiting for the storm to pass me by
and that's the sound of sunshine coming down
and that's the sound of sunshine coming down
I saw my friend Bobby, he said 'What's up man, you got a little work or a twenty to lend?'
I opened up my hand, He said, 'I'm glad to see, they can take away my job but not my friends
you see'
CHORUS
That's the sound of the sun goin' down
When the people of the world start to paint the town
A day that's long is a day complete
so kick off ya shoes and relax ya feet
they say tat miracles are never ceasing
and every single soul needs a little releasing
they say that money makes the world go round
but only one thing'll help the sun go down
Sweet, sweet love'll help the sun go down

It's true, it's true, it's true
CHORUS
You're the one I want to be with, when the sun goes down
CHORUS

* and to Mr Franti... I know I haven't asked, but I thank you for letting me publish your song on my blog... I just want you to know that somehow you always seem to sing exactly what I'd like to in a way that I want to shake up to... so I guess that's pretty cool!

Here's to dancing in the sunshine! xo xo
