with our lives (for my wife – w/ my kids as bgvs)
by danieljohn
i’ve got the melody
you’ve got the harmony
we can make this music
if we try
you sing the chorus, dear
i’ll play the notes i hear
we can make this music
if we try
we can make this music
with our lives
with our lives
the kids twirl, they sing & dance
you and i steal a glance
we can make this music
if we try
what we sing will make us strong
we all join in with the song
we can make this music
if we try
we can make this music
with our lives

The [5in5] reminds me of this quote from Music & Lyrics: These songs, they’re fantastic… They’re full of wonderful melodic surprises and they’re catchy and they’re making people happy
and they’re just good.
Only I’d add something about the lyrical magic within them – you know I love words. These songs…they’re DINNER. (That’s from Music & Lyrics too.)
This song evoked beautiful images in my mind as I listened to you sing. Then, when all the sweet harmonies joined in and grew stronger, I could see your family doing that same thing. Well done.
Dude! I meant to tell you this last night! I think you have found your sound! It’s kinda got a Coldplay vibe with more smoothness though. Sweetness!
I’m enjoying listening to all of these while I work today! Great job, everyone! Keep at it!
There are so many amazing songs coming out of this. You all should pick the best ones and make a CD every year. Seriously… there are way more than enough songs to make an AMAZING CD and I for one would by it every year.
I would buy it too!
Can I just say BEAUTIFUL?!?! I love your sound, Dan! I agree with Serenity – DINNER!! And with Rebecca – there should be a CD.
Beautiful. Dan, your songs sound so un-forced and effortless. Like all these wonderful songs were just sitting inside, waiting for you to take a moment and let them slip out and glide along the sound waves. 🙂
I freakin’ LOVED this song, Dan!
CD? Yes. That sounds like a ton of work, but it would be worth it…. and might make 5in5 get better every year…. HA.
