Hi,<\/p>\n

I\u2019m releasing my latest song today.<\/p>\n

I wrote this song about a moment when someone pulls up to their house one evening and realises things have changed between their partner and themselves. Faced with an inevitable separation there\u2019s a part of them that realises even though there\u2019ll be some tough times ahead, life still has a lot to offer. I wanted to remind people who feel that all is lost when a powerful relationship comes to an end that life is very likely to feel wonderful once they\u2019ve healed, anyway I hope you find it interesting.<\/p>\n

Here are the lyrics:<\/p>\n

Wonderful Life ~<\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong>Written and Produced by Simon Smith and Steve Dumelo
\nJune 2011 UK<\/p>\n

Pulled up in my driveway, sat in my car
\nNight sky was coming down hard
\nListened to the radio
\nSkipped a couple of tunes
\nLooked in my mirror at you<\/p>\n

Didn\u2019t know why
\nDidn\u2019t want to come in
\nFeeling dead inside
\nSomeone told a story
\nSomebody lied
\nSo take a ride
\nEnjoy the trip of my life
\nIt\u2019s a wonderful life
\nIt\u2019s a wonderful life<\/p>\n

Have you got a feeling
\nGot to get away
\nDo you get to feeling
\nThat you can no longer stay
\nHave you got a feeling
\nGot to get away
\nGot to get away<\/p>\n

Moon it goes around
\nLife it flies
\nGonna say hello
\nSometimes goodbye
\nTake the phone right off the hook
\nGonna sit down and write your book
\nGonna take the lies we once said
\nWrite across your bed<\/p>\n

Well I\u2019d come to you
\nBut you\u2019d go
\nAnd all the things I\u2019d have to say
\nYou\u2019d know<\/p>\n

So take a ride
\nEnjoy the trip of your life
\nIt\u2019s a wonderful life
\nIt\u2019s a wonderful life
\nHave you got a feeling
\nGot to get away
\nDo you get to feeling
\nThat you can no longer stay
\nHave you got a feeling
\nGot to get away
\nGot to get away
\nGot to get away<\/p>\n

Times are here, times are gone
\nNo matter what, it moves on<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t remember me pointing a gun
\nI don\u2019t remember us not having fun
\nI don\u2019t remember us wanting more
\nBut I guess I don\u2019t know us anymore<\/p>\n

So take a ride
\nEnjoy the trip of our life
\nIt\u2019s a wonderful life
\nIt\u2019s a wonderful life
\nHave you got a feeling
\nGot to get away
\nDo you get to feeling
\nYou can no longer stay
\nHave you got a feeling
\nGot to get away
\nGot to get away
\nGot to get away<\/p>\n

Lyrics Simon Smith 2011

                        It\u2019s a Wonderful life, the title are beautiful and the music are sweet and calm. I really like the song, and I\u2019m sure I will listen to this song on my iphone.
                        \nI also have to tell, that my favorite still is :in the middle of the night.
                        \nBut thank you for sharing your music. I really like it.<\/p>\n

                          Thank you Jonna, for me it\u2019s hard to hear any of the songs as you do, I often want to make little changes to them. I think some painters have been caught going in to galleries and touching up their paintings\u2026 it\u2019s hard to know when to jump off the carousel. I am glad you like the songs, I spent many years without an audience so now I realise what a gift it is to have people listening, so thank you too. ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
