Waitin' on a Sunny Day

It's been a couple of months now that I've been waitin on a sunny day to banish the haze out of my life. Bruce Springsteen's song is the title of my post, "Waitin on a Sunny Day". If you haven't heard of it, go download it and let me know what you think. It encapsulates my current sentiment as I compose this entry. Anyway;

Here's something that you don't know, if you google my name "daniel franklin" and "lyrics", you will catch a list of songs composed by no other than yours truly. I uploaded these songs way back in 1997/98 for fear that my hard disk was about to collapse. It was only a temporary measure, but then I thought, I'll just leave it there. :-)

Here's a list of songs that I penned and uploaded (in my idealistic mind): All Alone On This Dreadful Road, An Unhappy New Year, Angel Of Paradise, Awaiting The Day, Broken Valentine, Everytime I Look Your Way, Heaven Lasts Forever, I Am Yours, I Thought We Had It All, Life Isnt Supposed To Be That Good, Long Road To Heaven, Love Can Last A Lifetime, Miss You Like Crazy, Returning The Faith, Seeking, Shes All On My Mind, Symptoms Of A Madman Those Hazy Days, Who Wants To Live Forever, Will She Ever Forgive Me.

My inspiration for most of these songs? The lady who then went on to appear in a Fair & Lovely commercial ala "While You Were Sleeping - Train Station Scene". I still smile when I think about it. They made her look much darker - a typical marketing dojigger.

Since then, I have amassed a total no less than 50 songs over the last couple of years, the last song I penned was my first attempt of a Malay song - Kembalilah, in 2005 June. These days I scarcely play my guitar. Hmmmm...somebody inspire me!

Also, if you haven't observed, I've embarked on a mini-project for the blog, i.e. adding snappy NEW songs of my discernment (see right menu under "RECOMMENDED NEW MUSIC", and shall be updating it every week. The songs are listed in no particular order. REMEMBER - the song starts to load when you click play, so if you click to play all the songs at one go, you're in for a hefty waiting period - unless you have a fast internet line. Enjoy! :-)

"I'm waitin, waitin on a sunny day, gonna chase the clouds away, waitin on a sunny day....
Hard times, baby well they come to us all
Sure as the tickin of the clock on the wall
Sure as the turnin of the night into day" - Bruce Springsteen's Waitin' on a Sunny Day
