But it didn’t come easy must say. I just couldn’t think of anything let’s say “poetic”, and finally I thought o well let’s take the picture itself and describe it. So first lines were done with that idea on my mind. There’s black and white and grey all over, a track (life) leading to a housing block (destination), a red traffic light (stop!!), and luckily some birds. There is hope after all, even when all is grey…

Song tries to explain that feeling when it all seems a bit too grey and too many things working against you. O yes, you badly need some sun to bring back a smile on your face. We all have that feeling sometimes, don’t you deny it…

Recording was originally planned more acoustic but as usual I got carried away in the arrangement… But it will do just fine with just a man and his guitar
- or piano.

Someone else had to point out to me that the traffic light is red. I keep seeing it green, no lie. I aways had some difficulties distinguishing between colors but you can tell me anything, I still see that light as green, or orange perhaps but definetely not entirely red. Hey, I should know, no accidents with car so far – knock on wood. Weird.

Song now also has a video (Facebook)
