Story behind the song
A couple of years ago I was working on a contract with a local company when they suddenly terminated the contract without warning. I was told it had nothing to do with my performance, but it left me pretty upset. I started to descend into a funk but decided to struggle against that easy end. One day while driving down to visit a friend on a cold and snowy day, the clouds parted and the brilliant sun smiled down on me, lighting up the nearly frozen lake I was passing and the glittering snow on the hills. This suddenly inspired the first words of the chorus: "Sunlight’s the best disinfectant Cures the lost with the expectant" A few moments later I realized that "The sun always shines after the flood", a perfect metaphor for where I was emotionally. I pulled over, wrote down the lyrics, and turned around and drove home. I wrote and recorded the song, beginning to end in less than 8 hours. Don Paul Moore lent his fantastic lead guitar work to the song, and I think it's a pretty darn good composition.
Lyrics
The Sun Always Shines After the Flood © BugTheRoot Feb 2012 Sunlight’s the best disinfectant Cures the lost with the expectant Oh Lord let the sun shine down on me Matters not how the winds blow Scatters fear to make a rainbow Oh Lord let the sun shine down on me Although I bear a thorny crown I won’t let the pain get me down I’ll let the rain wash away the blood And wait for the sunshine to come out after the flood The sun always shines after the flood Chorus I watch the snow melt on the lake While dead leaves blow and cold trees shake They’re waiting for the spring to bud Patiently waiting for the sunshine after the flood The sun always shines after the flood Chorus I’d rather a sun burn than pale skin Open the blinds to let the sun in Oh Lord let the sun shine in on me If it gets too hot I’ll find me a shade tree Count all the leaves the birds and busy bees Oh Lord let the sun shine down on me Oh Lord let the sun shine down on me Oh Lord let the sun shine down on me Oh Lord let the sun shine down on me
