about

"When You Smile" was written as part of my year-long songwriting challenge. Starting in June of 2019, I began writing and releasing new songs every three weeks for the next year. "When You Smile" is heavily influenced by traditional folk music: featuring a simple arrangement of vocals, mandolin, and finger-picked guitar. My wife got me a mandolin for this past Christmas and she and I have been playing a lot of folk music together ever since, and a lot of the tendencies of that music crept into my songwriting. If you're into folk-influenced singer-songwriter tunes, this one's for you!

lyrics

When you smile
I see the sun
Shining bright in the sky
Like the rain had never come
When you smile
I see the sun

When you smile
I hear your voice
Like you're singing on the wind
Drowning out the noise
When you smile
I hear your voice

Oh who knows
What lies ahead
Oh...

When you smile
It breaks my heart
'Cause I can't seem to smile back
Like the rain is just too much
When you smile
It breaks my heart

When you smile
It breaks my heart
'Cause I don't know how to say
That the rain won't go away
When you smile
It breaks my heart

Oh who knows
What lies ahead
Oh...

When you smile
I see the sun...
