Thanks Laurent! It seems that ‘retro’ is my specialty!

But the Major 7th chorus more than makes up for it, so all is forgiven. wink
Thanks David! I had a passing thought that the chorus might appeal to you - having read your song posts from last year when you extolled the virtues of the major 7th. Forgiveness accepted! grin I might re-record my original verse at some juncture to see how that lands.

Your way of singing it is just great. Like that.
Thank you Hans! That makes me think … I wonder if the best singer of a song is the one who wrote it?

Here in Europe, there is so much sunshine right now and absolutely no rain. Everything is burning, drying out, and that kind of misery.
In that case, this text isn't in 'the mood' right now.
As an inhabitant of the driest state (South Australia) in the driest continent, I feel your pain. While we regularly have summers above 40 degrees and threat of bushfires, I think you have it worse because it is unexpected for you and from what I hear, your homes are not equipped for such temperatures.

But apart from that, I'm sticking to where I started my text to you.
Funny is that I've also had a song with the same title lying in my work folder for a number of years. Different rhythm, different meaning too, but the same title nonetheless. So I'll just leave that one aside for a while...

Very nicely done!
Knowing the quality of your songwriting, I am sure your ‘Sunshine’ will warm our hearts.

Thank you all for listening and commenting!
Andrew
