'The Long Way Home' My song 'All Winter Long' off the 'Rainbows End' album seems to fit the mood of the new words that I found washed up on the beach - sort of. SONG FOR ANOTHER DAY Dreamers dance while dancers dreamSongbirds love while lovers sing No frozen sun, no burning snow Maybe tomorrow, [...]

A NEW-BORN RAINBOW?
2.51PM Saturday, 9th February 2019. Ten minutes to go before a 3.00PM kick-off. Arsenal at home against Huddersfield.

If you take the acoustic route, then verse words transfer reasonably easily into song, especially so the ballad. The [...]
