Liner Notes

I thought out this song, put it all together really, lying in my bed yesterday morning. It's the first outing for my new second hand Faith parlour guitar. Recorded directly into my phone so no bells and whistles...

Lyrics

This is my morning song
This is my morning song
I may sing it soft
Or I may sing it strong
This is my morning song

Today I went down to the sea
Just my little puppy dog and me
The birds were flying overhead
The waves were rolling free
So I sang my song out to the sea

I sang This is my morning song...

Today I went up the highest hill
I had some city lungs to fill
The snow had fallen overnight
The air was cold and still
I sang my song up to the hills

I sang This is my morning song..

This morning I was lying in my bed
Crazy thoughts were spinning round my head
Then I heard the birds outside
The window where they fed
They sang their morning song

They said This is my morning song...

The third verse is great. Such great images it conjures. Also the puppy dog verse is so symphatetic, could not help but smile. Very innocent and honest sound. Works well.

Good write verse three is lovely, I like the notion of city lungs thanks for sharing

Oh how lovely! I love the images you use, making the sceneries unfold in front of my inner eyes!

Yay for phone recordings. I love the sweetness here (and how the song makes clear its plans from the beginning). The simple structure is effective; I was singing along with the chorus by the second time.
