Liner Notes

I had been working on this for a few days and found that @roddy had posted a version this morning. It's always interesting to see/hear the different results that are possible from the same input. Roddy has done a stellar job on his, so I recommend that you give his a spin, too.

Lyrics

When the storm clouds gather
And the rain starts pouring down
I hear a whisper of thunder
A truth I've always found

Every dark cloud has a way
To bring a brighter day
Just look a little closer, you'll see,
A silver lining for you and me

There's a silver lining in every storm
A hidden blessing to keep you warm
When the world feels cold and gray
There's a silver lining lighting your way

When you're feeling broken
And life's to much to bear
Just remember in the shadows
Hope is always there

Every dark cloud has a way
To bring a brighter day
Just look a little closer, you'll see,
A silver lining for you and me

There's a silver lining in every storm
A hidden blessing to keep you warm
When the world feels cold and gray
There's a silver lining lighting your way

Hold on through the darkest night
Morning's coming with new light
You'll find strength in every tear
A silver lining will appear

There's a silver lining in every storm
A hidden blessing to keep you warm
When the world feels cold and gray
There's a silver lining lighting your way

So keep your eyes on the horizon
And let your heart keep rising
In every challenge you'll find
A silver lining in your mind

I THOUGHT I was having a deja vu moment--then realized I'd already listened to Roddy's version last week sometime. Love your version. (And it just occurred to me that part of my deja vu feeling might be that I wrote a song called "Cloudy Silver Linings" a year or two ago...) ❤️

Nice chord choices and progression and they certainly highlight the words and phrases, as you can do so easily. great collab

What a mantra to look forward with positivism and optimism...I concur, absolutely!

Lovely hopeful song
My favourite verse is:
When you're feeling broken
And life's to much to bear
Just remember in the shadows
Hope is always there

Nice collaboration

A classic rendition of a classic concept. I half expected Judy Garland to pop out and duet with you. Wonderful reinvigotation of an optimism that is fast being lost. Love the thunder bookends.

Thanks for setting my day off on such an optimistic and enjoyable fashion! Great lyrics, and great treatment of the tune. Even if it's made of descending chords, the melody also lifts you up. Well done.
