A live in-studio recording of me performing vocals and ukulele.
Some songs/music are just so easy to write - they just appear, roll off the tongue and flow with very little effort.
This song was not one of those!
It was like wrestling with a wild boar; it kept me from my sleep; it picked me up at my house then took me for a ride to a dark forest and pushed me out in the cold, naked, and without a phone.
But I managed to get this little recording. It was not the one I was planning on, but the best way I could muster to get to the nuance and intimacy that a song like this seems to need.

best in me (dark light) music and lyrics by Rob Birdwell
on and on a dark light shines
a grain of truth in all the lies
when the spirit’s broken
the mountain crumbles
seaside lovers holding hands
the loneliness of golden bands
when tied so tightly
we’re bound to stumble
whisper something sweet and low
words you want only me to know
and I will make no promise of your secret
I’ll shout it from a mountain high
for all the world to sanctify
I can hold it for a moment
but I can’t keep it
you bring out the best in me
yeah you bring out the best…
the best in me
on and on a dark light shines…
wish upon a shooting star
we never thought it’d go this far
with bombs exploding and children
crying for attention
call the troops to hold the line
I’ll be your funny valentine
this might be our last chance
at redemption
heal the wounded, house the poor
and what about this wicked war
have we learned nothing from before?
give it all then give some more
draw the curtains close the door
you are the one I so adore
you bring out the best in me
yeah you bring out the best…
the best in me
on and on a dark light shines…
heal the wounded, house the poor
and what about this wicked war
have we learned nothing from before?
give it all then give some more
draw the curtains close the door
you are the one I so adore
you bring out the best in me
yeah you bring out the best…
the best in me
on and on a dark light shines…
