Sunshine - Matt Costa

They don't make music much better than this. This song is a wonderful blend of tension and contrasts. The optimism of the melody faces off against the realistic view of life that the end is on its way. But, in spite of it all, Matt says nothing negative about the life-taker, instead the cycle of it all points toward the beauty of the situation. It's pop music at its finest, no matter what your radio's silence may tell you.



Sunshine

Sunshine
I'd really like to tell you
Oh my sunshine
Even though your skies are blue
You're drying up my bed
How can I get any rest now?
Sha la la la la la la la

Someday
You will get the best of me
Oh someday
Probably when I'm old and grey
I'm lying in my bed
And I will soon be put to rest now
Sha la la la la la la la

Sunshine
I'd really like to tell you
Oh my sunshine
Even though your skies are blue
You're drying up my bed
How can I get any rest now?
Sha la la la la la la la

Someday
You will get the best of me
Oh someday
Probably when I'm old and grey
I'm lying in my bed
And I will soon be put to rest now

I'm lying in my bed
And I will soon be put to rest now (Ooh ooh) [x2]
Sha la la la la la la la
