Sing Together (All Kinds of Weather)

Liner Notes

Dan says: David asked me if I wanted to get the "band" back together from last year (and ADD Ken too!) I recorded some mandolin, bass, stomps/claps/percussion with the words/melody for the chorus, break and one verse and sent the stems to David. Hannah, Sonya and Ken each wrote/recorded their verse words/melody independently without having heard anyone else's verses with only a weather prompt and sang harmonies and added adlibs. David mixed. Thanks! What a fun FAWM experience! HEADPHONES recommended.

Lyrics

SING TOGETHER

(Chorus, all)
Sing together
Yes we gotta sing together
Through all kinds of weather
Gotta sing together

(Break, all)
Do re mi
Do re mi fa
Do re mi fa so la ti
Come on won’t you sing with me now

(Verse 1, @beacon)
The storm is coming fast
And we're still warm inside
Shovel now or wait an hour
I just can't decide
My friends are here together
And we'll drink and laugh and eat
And sing some songs together
And stay out of the sleet

(Chorus, all)

(Verse 2, @sunnymae)
What's a little bit of rain
When you got good friends who tell ya
We'll never let you get too wet
'Cause we'll all be your umbrella
Through thick and thin, when the storms roll in
And you can't see out your window
We'll sing our songs from days long gone
And sunshine will follow

(Chorus, all)

(Verse 3, @hbusse)
Doesn’t matter what the storm
Or how the wind does blow
Pleasant breeze of summer
Or a mighty tornado
Whether it’s a whisper or a whistle or a roar
Here’s your invitation
Come and step outside your door and…

(Chorus, all)

(Verse 4, @danvaillancourt @davidtaro)
Some days we have sunshine
And we bask in her rays
Walking down a sandy beach
Everything we need's in reach
So good, I gotta share it
So I invite you to join me now

(Chorus, all)
(Break, all)
(Choruses at a variety of speeds)

Fun, fun, fun! I did not wear headphones and love it just the same. It's excellent in so many ways. Melodically, instrumentally, lyrically, and the mix is so great, especially because you gave it a very live feel. All-star vocal team. This may be my favorite collab of all time, CONGRATS!

An all-star cast letting rip. I clearly remember your song from last year. This a is a fun sequel, an extra treat with the addition of @beacon. More than anything, I can only imagine how much fun this collaboration was for all of you. You all give off the vibes of just having a good time, which is contagious for the listeners. Well done you all!!!
