This is another 'collaboration' with Jesus Oldman. He very kindly sent me some lyrics to use in a song. I wrote a snappy little tune and used some of his lyrics and some of my own. I'm very happy with the result.

Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Story behind the song
Once again, I have used some of the wonderful lyrics sent to me by Jesus Oldman. I wrote a song around them and wrote some of my own too. All the guitar and bass sounds are now from my new Line 6 Pod Go unit. I'm also very happy with the actual sound of this recording.
Lyrics
In The Rain (but Underneath The Sun) Oldman / Briggs (c) 2022 It's raining ... it's pouring ... I'm walking in the rain, but underneath the sun, my work here on this world is almost done. I'm soaking up the pain that you give to me, I sing out loud and proud, and yes, it's free. [ it's easy ] It's easy when you've got nowhere to go, [ it's easy ] my heart's on my sleeve and it's all on show. [ it's easy ] It's easy when you don't know what to do, I know you have it figured out, you always do. You have it all, yet you're scared to death, I've lost it all and though I'm bereft, I sing out now and then and it's still fun, I'm still rocking like I've just begun. Old and poor but I'm rich in heart, I've still got a lot of wisdom to impart. guitar solo: (excited audience screaming) ... [ it's raining ... it's pouring] Hey, hey, hey, I don't know what to say, well, it doesn't matter much anyway. Dreamland Avenue, the City Of Dreams, all you see here isn't all that it seems. I'm walking in the rain, but underneath the sun, my work here on this world is almost done. We've never met, well at least not yet, we'd get on like a house on fire you can bet. [it's easy] It's easy when you've got nowhere to go, [ it's easy ] my heart's on my sleeve and it's all on show. [ it's easy ] It's easy when you don't know what to do, I know you have it figured out, you always do. [it's raining ... it's pouring] guitar solo: [it's raining ... it's pouring] ... fade-out.
