about

From the 50/90 site
My inner critic said this is maudlin crappy schmaltz.

But I'm at the Mariposa festival, sitting next to my beautiful wife. Steve poltz is singing, there was just a beautiful sunset, and these scmaltzy, cheesy lyrics are my skirmish.

Dec. 27: My sister says this song is about her. I did not write it about her. But it is.

lyrics

Lyrics:
Sean McGaughey SS070519c (c) July 5, 2019 HOPE

A squall is often followed by a rainbow.
Sunrise concludes the darkest night.
The ugliest of caterpillars dissolves into goo,
becomes a painted butterfly and takes flight.

When everything you touch turns from gold to brass.
And every situation is perfectly designed to kick your ass.
You wander through crowds, yearning for a friend,
and wonder when you'll finally go around the bend

Every time you thought you could not make it through,
you did.
It"s been that way since you were a kid.
When you're holding the last thread of your rope.
Hang on, this is hope.
