Hi - this is Sunshine from Zoltan's track on the collab board. The bit at the beginning is me talking to myself as I needed to sing the whole song in one take due to my odd phrasing (mine not Zoltan's). Thanks very much for mixing it for me.
I had to reduce the file size to get it loaded.
Here's the link to the original track https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=31980.0
Sunshine
They say it's best to stay close to people who feel like sunshine
People who carry their light with them from within
Like a lighthouse beam piercing through the long dark night
Shining like a sun arising as your new dawn day begins
And I abso-blooming-lutely positively love you – yes I do x2
So cast out all the false friends and learn to accept and love yourself
And so others will learn to accept and love you for you
You be that person who feels like sunshine as your new dawn day begins
And people will be drawn towards you
Cause it's so easy peazy lemon squeazy to love you like I do
Cause it's so easy peazy lemon squeazy to love you like I do
It's so easy peazy lemon squeazy to love you
And I abso-blooming-lutely positively love you – yes I do
Absolutely positively love you
I'm not sure if I've told you yet but I love you
I'm not sure if you quite know it yet but I really do
So cast all your fears and step into your power
The power of awesomeness that was always you
Bathe in the glory of your true self and believe and you
And love yourself as much as I love you
Oh, this is a special one. All the more impressive that the lead vocal was one take.
This put me in a good mood.

That idea from Zoltan now transformed into a great song. Well done to you both. Cool Summery kinda song and the lyrics read like poetry.
It's a lovely track bringing great warm vibes. Some lovely changes in there and little surprises in the melody. You did bring the sunshine with this guys.

Standing back in admiration a complete song, no criticism, just a lovely listen, great collab, well done to you both!!!!
Talking to self to get in one take is always fun lol. done that a lot then forget the first line.
Nice laid back sweet song .quirky and summery , unexpected ending . nice collab
Yes, this is wonderful........absolutely....yup.........all around greatness
Love the talkie bit at the beginning to get your composure lol.
The music and style has a 70's style, like something the carpenters would've done.
Great vocals and lyrics. Very catchy. I love the piano. Great collaboration.
excellent music but beside that I really love the backing vocals! nice co lab! very nice!
Can I come back for some more, just loving the positivity. just cool!!!
Pretty freakin' good I tell ya! Love this tune a lot
Great music and equally great lyrics. Performance by all concerned it top notch. As Blooby said, this is indeed a special one. (It's lemon squeezy ;) ).

Wonderful you sound great Hils giving me that summer feel with the piano and beautiful vocal you make it sound easy Peasy lemon squeezeeeeee!
I am loving that piano (CP?) very 80s groove... terrific so catchy. Hilary finishes the song nicely. I like the ending (I use that technique alot LOL).
Great song.
Mike
AW, thats sweet by you two! What a great song, a warming backtrack and super classy, and ok, hilary's performance is always touching me and making me laugh at the same fucking time. That's a perfect song.
very nice got that summery feeling all over it
Tim
Yes that's special. Really great, sounds like you sang it with a smile, Hilary, and it left me smiling too.
Meant to comment earlier on this one, but it somehow flew under my radar for a while. What a beautiful collaboration - I love how it goes from a Beach Boys to Commodores piano style between the chorus and lyrics, and of course Hilary's vocals are fantastic.
One minor quibble on the mix - perhaps mix the vocals a tad higher, or bring down the piano levels a bit? But it's already gold as-is! 8)
