about

Written by Bart de Win. A song about dreaming of getting a 'hit' song. With several references to songs by our friend Walt Wilkins.

lyrics

Little bright light

I guess I'm a lucky bastard
With a life that can't go wrong
I travel around, I get free beers
And people seem to like my song
There's love around me, all day long
Don't you think that's great
There's so much going on to appreciate

Still I've got a little thing or two
Wandering through my brain
Nothing a good buzz can't conceal
It's not like I’ve missed the train
I feel like heading for the station
In a locomotion groove
And take a straight line to where I wanna move

I'm gonna sing out loud when I'll find my rainbow
I'm gonna jump and shout, tell everyone I know
What I'm talking about soon can't be forgotten
There's a little bright light ahead burning low

So many years I’ve messed around
And I'm still paying my dues
But everyone knows a man’s got to bleed
Before he can sing the blues
And each and every story
Escaping from my brain
Is true as hell, I really walked these shoes

I guess my ship's still lost at sea
Trying to find it's way
But at least I am where I want to be
And that's where I want to stay
Close to the crowd, close to your arms
And close to my heart I hope
This life I found between here and the stars
All around the globe

Tip Jar The Netherlands

Bart de Win and Arianne Knegt create songs about love and life on the hippie side of country, involving their musical friends from all over the world. They record them in a pure and honest manner, always letting the essence and character of the song prevail. The USA-Netherlands connection is vividly present, both in the choice of the musicians they work with and the overall americana atmosphere. ... more
