about
I've written another springtime song. Upon hearing it, I couldn't help but think of Snufkin, the little musical vagabond and best friend to Moomintroll in Tove Jansson's "Tales From Moominvalley". If you're unfamiliar with these magical stories, please do yourself a favor and google them.
In Jansson's short story, "The Spring Time," Snufkin ponders his next tune as he walks through the forest, reveling in his solitude: "'It's the right evening for a tune,' Snufkin thought. A new tune, one part expectation, two parts spring sadness, and for the rest just the great delight of walking alone and liking it." As I pondered how to explain this song, it struck me that Snufkin's formula comes close enough.

lyrics
If I were to paint the sunrise again
I'd pick tomorrow
And take it with me where I'm going
Look at this
The dawn advancing
Everything we'd hoped to know by now
I'd pick tomorrow
And take it with me where I'm going
Look at this
The dawn advancing
Everything we'd hoped to know by now
