In the wake of my dark and dismal song from 2006, What I Feel Like As Winter Comes, it seemed that the clouds all at once separated and a bright light finally shined through. Although I didn’t recognize it at first, it was no doubt warm on my shoulders and, after many long winter months, I was finally Feeling the Sun.
Below is a video discussion of the behind the scenes of the second bonus track on Another Gleam; Feeling the Sun — a revealing look at the inspirations, the meanings behind the song, the songwriting process, the recording experience and much more. Enjoy.
FEELING THE SUN

How am I suppose to love you
When I never even thought of myself that way?
I am a fine line…
But getting bolder everyday.
But, if you smile at me any longer
I don’t think I’ll have the nerve to fade away
Cause it’s been so damn long
Since something beautiful my way come.
I have been feeling the sun-
Warm on my shoulders it comes.
I must believe that we’ve found a hole in the clouds…
Feel it now?
Collecting little pieces of fact
And I’ve been writing my guesses down-
No answers-
Just theories we entertain.
So, tell me why every time you come around
Something’s got me feeling half as gray,
With twice the light
Of the most amazing sun ray.
I have been feeling the sun-
Warm on my shoulders it comes.
I must believe that we’ve found a hole in the clouds…
Feel it now?
