about

"Sunflower Girl" was written very quickly in November 2014, a couple of months after returning to Edinburgh from Berlin.

I recorded an acoustic demo soon after and this version originally featured on the SoulJahm 'Live!' compilation released in 2017. The version here was recorded throughout 2018 - 2019.

lyrics

Cast away the fears that held us back
Track the sun remember to return
I can show you a new name to transcend
Yes I can feel you coming up around the bend

First your words on the screen
And your voice on the line
Now a picture appears
Out of nothing here you come

Sunflower Girl
You make my world go round
Sunflower Girl
The sun is always out

As the waves return into the sea
There is nowhere but here that we can be
Take love further the last time paid our debt
Make an entrance I never will forget

Like your words on the screen
And your voice through the night
Now a face will emerge
Out of death there comes the light

Sunflower Girl
You make my world go round
Sunflower Girl
The sun is always out

If I can feel it then I can be it
I know
Don't listen to what they say
I know
Cos this love will work out right
To live you have to die to find yourself

Sunflower Girl
You make my world go round
Sunflower Girl
The sun is always out
Sunflower Girl
You make my world go round
Sunflower Girl
The sun is always out

Remind Me Tomorrow
by Sharon Van Etten

Well, I was introduced to the song Comeback Kid acoustically on a Tiny Desk concert and it really caught my attention. From there I went to the album version and also liked one or two others. David William
