Bring Your Own Sunshine
Optimistic song , Forgot about this
https://hearthis.at/elvis-nash-xk/byos-mix-1/H9r/
I was sitting on this barstool with big clouds hanging over me
when the bartender said the whiskey is two bucks but my advice is free
I’ve been there myself and made more then one mistake
But mostly what we worry bout don’t happen anyway
Chorus
He said You gotta bring own sunshine
Change your attitude, flip the switch,
No sense staying down too long
Pull yourself out of that ditch
Everyone has bad days when the laughter’s hard to find
That’s When you gotta bring your own sunshine
V2
So now whenever things go sideways and it feels like its gonna rain
I think about his words and I’m in a much better place
Wish I could thank that old bar keep for help changing my life
I’d buy him a few beers and say hey bud yeah got it right
Chorus
Musical bridge
Chorus

A stranger under dark clouds sat on a stool right next to me
I said here’s a shot a whiskey and a little advice for free

Good sinner turned preacher song,
constructive comments: slightly uptempo for the genre, IMO.
also the widely varying cadence, disrupted the flow at times.
Overall, I did like it.
Thank you,

@ElvisNash - catchy song, but I think I agree with sid, the temp is a bit fast for the lyrics.

its in the pocket , This has nothing to do with sinners or preachers , Just a bar song. it about a shitty attitude and flip to positive
Feeling sorry for your self , Snap out of it , bring some sunshine

Sorry, using the term sinner to preacher as a generic flip term, bit like poacher turned gamekeeper. Both common expressions here in the U.K.

Mason Douglass , I’ve written with hit writers , really doesn’t mean anything . you’ll get a better song , but getting on radio is slim to none , been at this 20 years
Marty Dodson , Sandy Ramos , Brent Baxter , Chuck Jones , a few others I forgot their names at the moment
What’s the big secret ? It’s no big deal lol1
Howdy, Stranger!
