In The Evening

Our first J&B tune in quite a while is different in style and length - hey it’s less than three minutes! 🤪
Every evening just before bedtime Janice takes a short walk to enjoy the night birds, sky, tree frogs, fire flies and more. Recently while we were mountain biking the words to this tune sorta popped into Bud’s ole head. Peter worked closely with us on the production and played some fun and different parts. We were surprised and very pleased that it was accepted for a popular Spotify user playlist. As always we much appreciate your time to listen and hopefully comment. Many thanks to PeterF and PG Music.

V1
some days ole sol can be too bright
that’s when I look forward to night
I want to be awake to gaze at the moon
there’s no need for me to seek high noon
Chorus
I always come alive in the evening
listening to the night birds singing
surrounded by the glow of fireflies
I no longer think of blue skies
Turnaround (4 bars)
V2
when the full moon is shining bright
that’s when my spirit takes flight
walking through a field of silver dew
with every step my soul renews
Chorus
Solo
Bridge
when I see the sun rise I’ll bid the night adieu
but my moonlit dreams will always come shining through
Chorus
Outro
