Golden Sunlight April A2Z Music

Posted on April 8, 2015

I interrupt the regular Wordless Wednesday (sorta) program to bring you this special announcement…. All routine posts for this month is preempted so I might contribute to the largest Blogosphere party ever. Don’t worry, normal posting will resume next month like clock work (I hope). Meanwhile, I invite you to stick around to enjoy the #AprilA2Z fun!

I’m sharing a repeat of an image I captured on the west side of town a few years back that I titled for this morning’s alpha prompt, Golden Sunlight.

This new-to-me 1988 American rock band 311, pronounced… three-eleven, hail from the mid-west town of Omaha Nebraska. This band is plays alternative, reggae, and rap rock, as well as alternative metal genre music.  I stumbled upon them while doing internet research for a song to go with my photo title.

 

GOLDEN SUNLIGHT 311

 

Songwriters:  Chad Sexton, Tim Mahoney, Nicholas Lofton Hexum, & Doug Martinez  311 – Golden Sunlight Lyrics

 Hand over hand I crawl back to land
There is no retreat, that option’s far and away
I have to be brave but I always did crave the golden sunlight
It’s been about me but I’m setting that free for golden sunlight

There’s a door open to walk through
All I want is just beyond
What if I could let my guard down?
Into freedom on and on

Somehow it came out when I can’t talk about
Someone to help me as free as I wanna be
I cannot erase but you helped me face the songs and the flowers
A last perception of my self-deception and then the songs and the flowers

There’s a door open to walk through
All I want is just beyond
What if I could let my guard down?
Into freedom on and on

What if I could just let my guard down?
What if I could live wide open? Yeah
What if I could just let my guard down
And go beyond into the great unknown?

Sweetheart, I’ve been bothered
A golden sun lit path I’ve been after
Grass hills, wild flowers, sharp road trails

For a daughter I want to be her father
I want to hear her laughter under meteor showers
The dogs will howl at the midnight hour

There’s a door open to walk through
All I want is just beyond
What if I could let my guard down?
Into freedom on and on

What if I could just let my guard down?
What if I could live wide open? Yeah
What if I could just let my guard down
And go beyond into the great unknown?

      We have gotten a lot of rain so far, so when the sun comes out then it’s like OH, happy day! I love feeling the warmth shine down on my face!! Yep, I knew you were doing the #AprilA2Z challenge and am watching my in-box for your daily prompt announcement. In fact, I spotted your “G” post arrival when I got up this morning. I came by earlier for a little visit, dear friend. Enjoy the fun!

    Great pic. I find it really difficult to get the sun in without lens flare, but I love what you’ve done here.

      It’s easy to get spots or sunlight flare. Just play around with the positioning a bit until you get the look you’re wanting to capture. That’s what I do. lol

    I love 311. Amber and Beautiful Disaster are really good songs of theirs as well.

    Love this pic!! I find, it’s always so tricky to capture shining sun in your camera…looks like you’ve done a pretty good job.

      You’re right, it’s a hard job to catch the sun, especially with digital cameras. The foreground is either too dark or the background is too washed out. I guess I got lucky this time (or, maybe I just tried harder). 😀
