Lyrics

sunny days
rainy nights
see the stars and feel their light

take my hand
as we run
down the hill feel the sun

feel the wind
smell the earth
feel the grass beneath your feet

gentle breeze
blows your hair
spend the day and lose your cares

this is your life
take your time, seize the day
this is your time
use it as you like

laugh and smile
cry your tears
feel the pain of all your years

look around
see your world
take some time and make a change

this is your life
take your time, seize the day
this is your time
use it as you like

sunshine fades
go inside
watch the darness move on in

feel your warmth
at my side
and tomorrow starts again

these are our lives
take our time, seize the day
this is our time
we’ll use it as we like

	Fine a arrangement A simple song with a very good arrangement, with elements creeping up on your without you really noticing. Check out my latest song called Gentrification (live)

	i have a question... are you a neil young by chance???? the influence bleeds through in a great way on this track. really reminds me of "after the goldrush." great work, i love how it builds. Check out my latest song called The Sunshine Shadows (Live Take)

jgurner	jgurner said 1634 days ago (June 5th, 2005)
	i have a question... I'm not actually Neil Young, I just play him on TV. :) That's not an influence anyone has ever mentioned before, but I very much appreciate the comparison. Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. --- Shhhh! Do you smell something? Check out my latest song called Bourbon Street Dawn

	Simple goodness I like this. It has a quality that I can't quite put my finger on but really enjoyed. I think I'd back off a little on the reverb overall. Check out my latest song called From Nothing

jgurner	jgurner said 1633 days ago (June 6th, 2005)
	Simple goodness Thanks for the listen and the comments. I do tend to lay the reverb on quite thick. I actually backed it down a bunch from what I had origonally. But if you think I lay the reverb on thick, you ought to taste what I do with cayenne pepper. :) --- Shhhh! Do you smell something? Check out my latest song called Bourbon Street Dawn

	uplifting pop package! Very nice...you have a real falsetto style going there. This is a really nice production indeed! Very enjoyable S Check out my latest song called Electricity

Jim Bouchard	Jim Bouchard said 1633 days ago (June 6th, 2005)
	forthright vocals! I like the way you're right up front there with the vocals. Sounds pretty great and highly original. I enjoyed this. Check out my latest song called Weather or Not w/awigze

jgurner	jgurner said 1632 days ago (June 7th, 2005)
	forthright vocals! I'm finally getting a little more confidence in my vocals, so I'm not as likely to bury them in the mix anymore. Thanks for listening and commenting, Jim. --- Shhhh! Do you smell something? Check out my latest song called Bourbon Street Dawn

A great way to start the day...
Aww, I got the "feel good chills". Very nice. Not what the bomber was thinking though huh... I liked this alot. It is simply, a nice message and tune that everyone should consider listening to at the begining of each day. I like your vocals and I thought that the arrangements were a perfect accompaniment. This is a nice piece. Congrats!

Cydniko

P.S. i guess that if i had the mentality of a bomber, this tune would be the first to go down. LOL. sorry -

Check out my latest song called 123 iGetU

	A great way to start the day... Do bombers really think? Thought, at least useful though, is never something I've attributed to bombers. :) Thanks for your comments, Cydniko. One good thing came out of the bombing, I found out about your tunes. Made it a good day. --- Shhhh! Do you smell something? Check out my latest song called Bourbon Street Dawn

	Yeah It's getting better and better! The vocals comes through really good on this one, and of such of course the lyrics as well. See what you CAN do with a nice mic! :) Nice arrangements, I like the use of piano too. Check out my latest song called Fairyland (Satumaa)

jgurner	jgurner said 1632 days ago (June 7th, 2005)
	Yeah I appreciate the comments and the encouragment you have given me on my tunes, Mikki. This one had been in the the works for a while, but it seemed this past week some of my technological and creative blocks fell at the same time. Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. --- Shhhh! Do you smell something? Check out my latest song called Bourbon Street Dawn

	Yeah Quite often it falls that way - it comes in steps for me, I struggle for a while, take side turns and discover new types of music, then, all of a sudden, things makes sense and it all comes together...like milestones...a few every year...and a few side roads, and a few crashes I have to admit... :) Check out my latest song called Fairyland (Satumaa)

	I like your vocal style I like also your melody If this song hearing from radio,I'll soon go to recordshop! You are melodymaker Check out my latest song called July Sky

	Dude, this is good Great lyrics too. I'd love to do a remix of this song. I heard a hint of Death Cab and Postal Service, but yet it's different and original. Well done, fav'd for sure. Check out my latest song called Score This Draft 1

ledebutant	ledebutant said 1610 days ago (June 29th, 2005)
	I agree with ScooterDMan You do sound a lot like Neil Young on this song, which makes for a fascinating juxtaposition with the style of the song, which reminds me of OMD or the Pet Shop Boys. Your chorus is terrific. I left a comment for you on your 80's song, too. I thought you might miss it, since it's an older song. Check out my latest song called Black Star (MJ Live Aid w/jgurner)
