Description: Uncharacteristically for my usual rather 'downbeat' writing a rather positive song full of, well, hope. And another very simply, straight forward, no frills, uncharacteristically melodic tune. Which earned me some praise from my friends.Nice.

lyrics

You might think sometimes you're alone
you feel you've been let down
Next time when everything seems so wrong
Pick yourself up from the ground

Some people will try to screw you
and they’ll get their own back in the end
I'm right here next beside you
and we could just be friends

All the lovers will be winners
And all the haters will lose out
If the devil tells you otherwise
Think what life is all about

Because life's like that but life can change
Life's like an unwritten book
If you think you know the story
Come on take another look

I believe in love and beauty
I believe we're all born good
I believe that we could do better
There's a million reasons why we should

From windy ragged mountain tops
To islands flooded in sunlight
The roads to home twist and turn
But the direction’s always right

We are sole masters of our destinies
The score is not settled yet
You are the harvester of your own seed
What you sow you will get

I sing this song in hope
You’ll find beauty, love and peace
For life can give you all of this
In abundance and for free

Schönfeld recommends:

A Journal Of The Plague Year (a compilation)
by Sunex Amures

Fellow bandcamper Sunex Amures makes the best out of our year of the plague and releases one scorcher after another. From rocking Baroque Prog to funky, punky Psyche it's all there. Unmissable. Schönfeld

Holy Wars
by Tuxedomoon

Heroes. Gods. No other band sounded like them 40 odd years ago, and no band does now. Avantgarde, left-field and immensely listenable - you simply MUST hear these guys' work. Schönfeld

Live with The No.6 Orchestra
by Everything Everything

Proof that intelligent Rock and Pop is alive and well! Blending angular guitar work, otherworldly vocals and vast soundscapes with modern rhythms this youngsters succeed where other fail. Great stuff! Schönfeld
