Lyrics

Waiting For The Sun To Come Out

starting everyday this way
driving in the pouring rain
it will let up soon they say
maybe even the clouds will break
but still the skies are hanging gray
all the rain keeps coming down

all i want to see is the sun
all i want to feel is the sun

i go to sleep i hear the rain
it washes into my dreams
i am drowning in my sheets
raindrops keep pounding on me
awake the memory slightly fades
somewhat washed and slightly dazed

all i want to see is the sun
all i want to feel is the sun

i feel so drowned down to my skin
i feel so wet all over again
i'm just waiting for the sun to shine
dry me out and hang me on a line

weatherman says more of the same
puddles reflect clouds of gray
winds keep pushing more this way
sunshine is on holiday
still the clouds are hanging gray
and the rain keeps coming down

all i want to see is the sun
all i want to feel is the sun

and we're waiting for the sun to come out (6x's)

	sweet and pretty tune love how this just slouches in, and i really dig that little turnaround at the end of each verse and the way that the lead sometimes accents it. great lyrics too, i like the 'sunshine is on holiday' line and the repeat at the end. reminds me of the jayhawks. happily downloaded. thanks! Check out my latest song called Fan Fiction (Stan Lee Writes Reed Richards)

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 776 days ago (April 8th, 2011)
	Thanks Craig i can slouch alright. the lyrics came fast so at least rust hadn't settled in. i thought the repeat lines at the end was a chant to drive the rain clouds away. it worked, sunny today. Check out my latest song called Darkest Skies

	Dry Me Out Hang me on a line. Sweet lead riff after that line. Really, really like the guitar sound there. How do you have it set up? Do you mic the amp or plug straight into your interface? Please do tell. Nice one Vic. Sunny thoughts from your Valrico based fan club Bob Check out my latest song called Green Machine

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 776 days ago (April 8th, 2011)
	Thanks Bob riffin' lead. here's the chain that i set up. tele into interface. a logic amp sim. effect chain are logics plug ins.... compressor, retro chorus, a robo flanger and a tru tape delay (simulates a old tape delay effect, even with tape flutter)...cool huh Check out my latest song called Darkest Skies

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 775 days ago (April 8th, 2011)
	Thanks Tim i recorded all the music tracks in one siting, the next day i did the lyrics and vocals...... but it took me several evenings to get a final mix. acoustics and vocals are in the same frequencies and can be a bear to work them in together. Check out my latest song called Darkest Skies

dave_b	dave_b said 776 days ago (April 8th, 2011)
	Waiting For The Sun To Come Out I like the chord progression, particularly the quick fill at the end of a line. Vocals are strong. Nice acoustic & electric lines, mix sounds great, maybe the vocals could be up a bit. Check out my latest song called Llarions Blues

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 775 days ago (April 9th, 2011)
	Thanks Dave thanks for checking it out. yeah, i think the voc's could come up a pinch. on my monitors they sounded just right. but still a little boost wouldn't hurt Check out my latest song called Darkest Skies

	nice one vic this is a great song, you should sell it to elvis costello. perfect pop. your guitars sound great, I really like the change in your sound since you started using Logics amp sims.

	Waiting The bright echo-y reverbed up guitars are great, very chimey. They really set the atmosphere (as wet as it is) A real fab 4 influence on this. Great mix and killer arrangement. Very engaging. RR Check out my latest song called My Broken Sky

Ed Hannifin	Ed Hannifin said 774 days ago (April 10th, 2011)
	Rain IS the best... I enjoy rain like nobody's business; we have a gazebo in our back yard that exists largely so that I can go out back and listen to the rain... Even so, I'm really enjoying the lyrics on this song, Vic... The middle drippy guitar solo bit fits really nicely, too, I think... Check out my latest song called Uno/I Like The Way... (with Macaudion, SISTERS, ktb, and ziti)

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 773 days ago (April 10th, 2011)
	Thanks Ed. I do like some rain in the summer, to cool things down a bit. right now it pools up on the roads and it's a gamble if there is a deep pothole at the heart of it... i've found quite a few, i appreciate your listen. Check out my latest song called Darkest Skies

	Fragile I love how this seems to want to fall over at every step. Like Sparkelhorse's "Cow" the song feels like it is going to topple any second. That quality with the dreamy vox and guitar gives the whole thing an urgency belied by the gentleness of the sentiment. And that chiming guitar solo: Love it. Check out my latest song called Get Out of Town (V.2)

Relic67	Relic67 said 763 days ago (April 21st, 2011)
	Hell Yeah this is one of the best I've heard on MacJams in a while... fantastic, catchy tune. great melody. nice rainy vibe overall, as usual with your tunes there's a very interesting palette of guitar colours. nice vox and overall production. Loud sustained applause! Check out my latest song called Someone Else's Thing

MajesticTaylor	MajesticTaylor said 760 days ago (April 23rd, 2011)
	drums Nice song. Great guitar sounds. I think the thing that grabs me the most though is the way the drums follow the melody down in the verses. It's different and a clever way to underline the "insistentness" of long rainy periods. Check out my latest song called Christmas In New England
