Everyday is a good day Every morning when I wake Cup of coffee underneath the stars Waitin' on a-daybreak I say my thanks and I bow my head Deep breath and I jump on in Let the day take me where it may Gotta laugh with all the crazy And every night with the sun goin' down This ole world keeps spinnin' Right on around It's headed for a good day Some days are gonna hurt Some days'll roll on by You gotta learn to ride that wave On through the end of the line And everyday is a good day Everyday is a good day Let it roll don't get in the way But when you're stuck down the side of the road, remember "Life is simple", -don't mean that its easy Somebody's gonna lend you a hand Pay it back buddy when you can Sunset's gonna shine like gold On your skin everyday if you earn it Colors fade and the stars start to shine There's a rhythm playin' in my mind It's another good day So let that music play Let it blow the dust away Don't you wait til the end of the song Before you start to sing along There's a passion inside you Let it flow through all your days Everyday is a good day Every morning when I wake I bow my head underneath the stars Close my eyes and I say my thanks

There ain't nothin' left to say When every word's a lie But we say them anyway I smile, and you sigh There ain't no one left to blame When you just can't say good-bye So we carry on this way Such a pretty little lie I guess I wanted to believe In every page I turned In every song I sung That love would always burn But just like in the movies They turn the lights up in the end And you find yourself just sittin' there Here in this life you're really in There ain't nowhere left to turn And you can't turn back time So now I just pretend and you pretend not to mind Our two boys are older now Than I was when we first met Oh what I'd say to that younger me But I wouldn't have listened anyhow Because I just wanted to believe In every page I turned In every song I sung That love would always burn But just like in the movies They turn the lights up in the end And you find yourself just sittin' there Here in this life you're really in And all those days just passed on by Such a pretty little lie

about

After the 2016 release of Tales of the BedYam, I didn't think I had any songs left to write. I sold all my recording gear and most of my instruments. I kept only my main acoustic guitar, along with the first guitar my parents bought me and my grandfathers ukulele.

In late 2019, Pretty Little Lie showed up as a full song, while Another Good Day was just the first part. I remember thinking "OK, cool, I'll take these into a local studio when I am ready." And then 2020 hit. ;)

So I decided to just buy some scaled down, used gear to record with, instead of risking a studio session during the pandemic.

In January of 2022 I finally finished writing the rest of Another Good Day, and started working on the recordings (off and on) here in my garage at home. The stars aligned and I knocked out these two recordings on 08JUN2023. I will be updating these tracks in the near future, and will so annotate that here, but if I die in the mean time, then this will do, they are so close.

I'm starting off with just these singer-songwriter style demo recordings of one-vocal/one-guitar done in a single-track/single-take format. At some point I'd like to do a full band version and/or take them into a proper studio, but for now I think this will do.

Hope you enjoy the new material!

about

Brett Allen Gregory Livermore, California

I've always been compelled to write.

Early on it was journaling and poetry, but then that merged with my guitar addiction to become songwriting.

The process was always a bit manic, pressured, as if a large gorilla had stepped into my room, grabbed me by the lapels and said, "I will not let you sleep until you write this idea down." And so for years the gorilla and I danced madly thru the night.
