The Story Behind the Song

Sunshine — spelled S.O.N.S.H.I.N.E. — because that's what I used to call my son. This song was inspired by him. I miss him deeply.

I know it's not the traditional way to spell "Sunshine," but I spell it that way because it's what I called him. Sometimes families grow apart — it's not always about the reason, it's just about the season.

The words came to me while I was sitting in the Japanese Gardens, taking in the peace of nature, near the water, and reflecting on loved ones. That environment gave the music its atmospheric, Japanese-inspired feel — blending organic beauty with deep tech house and energy.

If you're reading this, I hope the music and the lyrics resonate with you.

Lyrics

The sunlight glistens on the pond
The memories of a time beyond
I picture family in my mind
Back when the world was soft and kind
And now I've grown, I have my own
But life's harsh trials turned me to stone
I sit here near the trees and pond
And contemplate where I belong

Go walk the path and open the gate
Go back to love, it's never too late
And when I find no words to say
It's still a bright and sunshine day
Sunshine... my Sonshine day

The pain we cause affects us all
Looking back, they weren't so small
Words were spoken, lines were red
I find it hard to leave my head
And now alone on this great day
I'm looking for a better way
To carry me back to loved ones dear
To end the silence and the fear

Go walk the path and open the gate
Go back to love, it's never too late
And when I find no words to say
It's still a bright and sunshine day
Sunshine... my Sonshine day

I hold the guitar in the dark
Waiting for a single spark
I can see you sitting there
Breathing in the quiet air
Till the sun comes back again...

Go walk the path and open the gate
Go back to love, it's never too late
And when I find no words to say
It's still a bright and sunshine day
Sunshine... my Sonshine day
