“Sing Out Loud” is the fourth single from my forthcoming album, “If Not Now, When?”. In the uncertain world we all inhabit, still recovering from the Covid-19 Pandemic, this song is about reconnecting with the world and each other and celebrating the joy of living and the potential of every moment to bring insight. The song explores this theme by focusing on a singer/songwriter and his attempt to come to terms with his own fears and insecurities, to believe in his music and voice and perform again, to 'Sing Out Loud'.
lyrics
SING OUT LOUD
Sano Hill
You wake up
To the sound of music once again
The tune was so clear
Playing in your head
Another day, another chance
To make it right
To step out from behind the smile
Where you hide
No more to listen
To the voices that say 'no'
Can you step outside
And can you let go
This time
And Sing Out Loud now
And hold on if you can
No need for ATC
No rules to understand
But you say
It's too soon, it's too high, it's too far to go
But be here now, be here now,
be here now, be here now
Can you step on through the wall
You spent a life building up
And watch it fall away
As you finally wake up
No more a prisoner
Of everything that might be
Can you stop making sense
And just let it be
No more to listen to the voices that say no
Can you step outside, and
Can you let go
This time
And Sing Out Loud now
And hold on if you can
No need for ATC
No rules to understand
But you say
It's too soon, it's too high, it's too far to go
But be here now, be here now,
be here now, be here now
Wait
What are you running from
Stay
Can you be here now
What are you running from
Can you be here now
What are you running from
Can you be here now
What are you running from
be here now
What are you running from
Yah oh what are you running
Running away oh
Running away oh
What are you running from
What are you running from
What are you running from
And you run, and you run and you run
What are you running from
And you run and you run and you run
What are you running from
And you run
Can you be here now
Can you be here now
Can you be here now
Can you be here now
Can you be here now
