Story Behind The Song

I was sitting on a plane watching the sunset, when I heard the melody of this song in my head. I wrote some lyrics and recorded it into my phone. When I arrived home I added some chords, but they weren't anything special. It was my dad, who tuned his guitar to open D and came up with the guitar. I loved it. We recorded the song shortly afterwards, but even though the voice and guitar sounded good together, something was missing. A bit later we met Bruce White, a brilliant viola player, who completed the song with his instrument. I was at the airport again when I received the final mix of the song via email and listened to the finished version during the flight. I cried - my little melody turned into a real song.

Song Description

"Sunset" is a calm folk song, that could even be used as a lullaby singing about the end of the day. It's a simple and slow song about dreams and the end of a day that has a peaceful and hopeful message. It's one of those songs that leave a lot of space for the listeners feeling focusing on the message and atmosphere it creates. A nice combination of viola and acoustic guitar mixed with female vocals, gives the music an Irish flair. Imagine sitting on a rock overlooking the sea and watching the sunset.

Lyrics

Sunset, slowly drowning,
I will see you in the morning,
while the world starts slowly sleeping,
I'll just sit here and believe in believing.

The sky dresses up in dark blue,
the horizon releases the moon,
and the stars shine for me and you,
I know that our dreams will come true.

Look up at the dark sky,
find the truth and forget all lies
after all all you need is a smile,
don't say you can't if you haven't tried.

Sunset, slowly drowning,
I will see you in the morning,
while the world starts slowly sleeping,
I'll just sit here and believe in believing.
