I wrote this one in 2006 when my mom passed.
She was an amateur painter.
I sang this at the service as advice she gave me.

If you're crying and can't decide
should you run or stay and fight
But if you only think of you
you can bet your life,there's gonna be a bit of blue.

something every artist knows
when the complication grows
when there's a cloudy gray all around you
you can always use ...a bit of blue

Chorus
You can be angry, you can be sad
you only choose the life you have.
It's a little indulgent but sometimes that's ok
life continues either way

here's a tip that every painter has seen
if your sunny disposition's a little green
you might check the brush you choose
It just might contain a bit of blue

Chorus

Rhythm & bass-Boss DR 880
Synth and keys -GR20
I was attempting to vary the instruments instead of playing them all the way thru.
Over-did it a bit perhaps, but fun.

This song is so beautiful I'm kinda at a loss for words. OUTSTANDING
Dance as if no one were watching.
Sing as if no one were listening.
And live every day as if it were your last.
- Irish proverb

I listened this morning but didn't have time to reply. This song celebrates the life of someone you most obviously loved and I count myself lucky that you have shared it with me. Thank you......Willie

Wonderful song, hard to comment.  Your vocals sound really fantastic.  Very ambitious production that works very well.
