The Story:<\/p>\n

This really is the third song in a trilogy of songs that\u00a0chronicles\u00a0the beginning of a romance. The first is “Daisy” which comes a few songs from now. That is followed by the fun of of “The Barefoot Girl” and this is what concludes it. \u00a0We often follow our feelings and jump into things without caring about what may come or consequences…this was my gentle, soothing reassurance that “Everything’s gonna be all right.” \u00a0I tend to be a “leap first, deal with consequences later” type of person, and though that seems to me to be the only way to go…I realize that it’s not for everyone!<\/p>\n

I began recording this almost immediately after writing it in the summer of 2009. It was originally two acoustic guitar parts with my own three part harmonies. It stayed that way for a bit..I initially wanted a better acoustic guitar lead for the intro and outro…I tried to get someone to do it…then I imagined piano. I eventually replaced the second acoustic guitar with acoustic bass. Then when Angela and I began performing this song live, it became clear that violin would be the way to go. And little did I imagine the quintet she would create…quite amazing if you ask me. I had a basic drum part programmed that I had never included in the mix and the last step was to rearrange it a bit and then finally the decision to bring it into the mix at the bridge….of course I rerecorded all my vocals along the way as I got better at singing the song…leading to what you hear today.

Lyrics
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/span>Don\u2019t Be Afraid<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sun comes up; it\u2019s another day<\/div>\n
But you don\u2019t feel the same<\/div>\n
Same eyes shine Canadian Blue<\/div>\n
But the world seems scary and new<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Don\u2019t be afraid<\/div>\n
Everything\u2019s gonna be OK<\/div>\n
Don\u2019t be afraid<\/div>\n
You will find your way<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Conscience is troubling you<\/div>\n
Doing things you don\u2019t usually do<\/div>\n
The memory of a shattered heart<\/div>\n
Is clouding a brand new start<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Don\u2019t be afraid<\/div>\n
Everything\u2019s gonna be all right<\/div>\n
Don\u2019t be afraid<\/div>\n
Put your trust in me tonight<\/div>\n
Can\u2019t you see that<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I\u2019m just a man<\/div>\n
And as soon as this began<\/div>\n
You went off running<\/div>\n
It\u2019s a crime<\/div>\n
Not to dare<\/div>\n
To so easily scare<\/div>\n
I know it\u2019s not funny<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The sun sets on a Saturday night<\/div>\n
But we\u2019re both alone tonight<\/div>\n
Snug in our respective beds<\/div>\n
With a world of worry in our heads<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Don\u2019t be afraid<\/div>\n
Everything\u2019s gonna be OK<\/div>\n
Don\u2019t be afraid<\/div>\n
You will find your way\u2026<\/div>\n
We will find a away\u2026<\/div>\n
To love<\/div>\n
