Hi all:

I hope everyone had a great holiday and that all came well into the New Year. Here's my first offering for 2023. From a production standpoint, I’m sure you will all have plenty of additional suggestions on the mix and otherwise--heck, I'm not even sure I'm quite done playing with it--and so they are very welcome. In my head, I had grander designs, but my goal is always to make the song as listenable and as close to what I intended as I can, and I think this is as far and as close as I can take it for now.

Thanks in advance for the listen!

My best to you all,

Deej

Here is the song:

EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE GOOD AGAIN

Here are the lyrics:

Dark days spawning
The want and warrring
The kings in their towers
Turned the gold rule to rust
But their hold is breaking
Their fates forsaken
Our hopes reawakening
And shaking the dust

Yeah, they ran our ships aground
But can’t you feel the tide
How it’s turning now

Everything’s gonna be so good again
Everything’s gonna be so good again
Everything’s gonna be so good again, ah-huh
And we’ll wrap ourselves in love
The paradise we’re dreaming of

There’ll be skies a-clearing
Crowds a-cheering
Children a-singing like angels on high
And our hearts long yearning
Will soon be burning
With the fever of love
We’ve kept true and alive

And we’ll sail to better shores
It’s that brave new world
We’ve been waiting for

Listen
Can you hear that wind
The song it’s carrying
It’s a joyous hymn
Every one of us can sing

Every now and then
There’s a moment when
Every dream we’ve dreamed
We can dream again
And believe enough
And the dream will grow
If we don’t give up
We can make it so
