it was a rainy day today by redler and oldrottenhead

kari posted the tune in collabs here https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=19632.0 i was inspired by the first line of his post.
thinking of growing up as a kid on a wet n windy scottish summers day, looking out the window hoping the rain would stop and i could go out to play.
             

it was a rainy day today
and i remembered
other rainy days
it was a rainy day today
and i remembered
when the sun shone bright
and warmed our souls
and we all wondered what we'd do
if we ever got old
it was a rainy day today
and i remembered
how we'd stare out of our windows
and pray the sun
would show his face
and chase the rain
away.......
we'd count the drops
and watch them race on down the window
to see which one would be the first
and which one would be the last
it was a rainy day today
and i remembered
how we'd stare out of our windows
and pray the sun
would show her face
and chase the rain
away.......
we'd count the drops
and watch them race on down the window
to see which one would be the first
and which one would be the last
it was a rainy day today
and i remembered
other rainy days

That was beautiful. Superb flowing guitars, Kari and Jim, you brought back some of my own rainy days from childhood.

Damn guys this is a total masterpiece in my humble (probably worthless) opinion. Totally spoke to me in every way, musical, lyrical & emotionally. It just made my coffee taste 100% better!
Rock On!
