First Move 02:52
lyrics
buy track
Holding on to things that I need not save Not because I need them I'm just so afraid to lose, but... Time keeps waiting for me to make the first move Pondering what it takes to make this song And if I should change one part Could I ruin it all, but... Time keeps waiting for me to make the first move Time keeps waiting for me to make the first move And will I find that I've awakened Or will I find I've been mistaken About you About you About the other side of me That so few people see I tried to hide I can't love Time keeps waiting for me to make the first move Time keeps waiting for me to make the first move

Falling For You 03:54
lyrics
buy track
When we first met it was like lightning struck And you changed my life it was more than luck Never thought I’d have what I have now But it seems like we both went our separate ways Even though we’re together every day I want you in every single part of my life again Make me smile like I used to Fill me with hope that we’ll pull through Let me get to know you like we’re starting from day one It’s who I love that makes me who I am I want you back and now it’s time to take a stand for you Even as I’m falling for you Carefully I form the words that I’ll say to tell The world that now I stand for you Even as I’m falling for you We used to talk til we both lost track of time We used to walk together to the very last mile I devoted my life to something higher than I am Now I know that you’re not very far I see yours in the shine of every single star And I can’t wait until we’re reuinited Make me smile like I used to Fill me with hope that we’ll pull through Let me get to know you like we’re starting from day one It’s who I love that makes me who I am I want you back and now it’s time to take a stand for you Even as I’m falling for you Carefully I form the words that I’ll say to tell The world that now I stand for you Even as I’m falling for you

Afraid of the Rain 02:46
lyrics

I'm not afraid of the rain When it falls Cuz I don't feel any pain At all It's only water that's pouring down my face I'm not afraid of the dirt 'neath my feet Though we might one day meet Sweet odyssey My journey has been made clear for me My future has been made clear for me And I'm not afraid To live each day like I've got something to live for now Ain't got no time to waste cuz I've got a taste of how I could be on fire in so many ways for you I'm not afraid of the sun In my eyes I'll soon adjust to the sight In due time My vision will clearly be made right I'm not afraid of the cold When it stings What harm can winter bring To one like me My temperature is rising as I speak My temperature is rising as I speak And I'm not afraid To live each day like I've got something to live for now Ain't got no time to waste cuz I've got a taste of how I could be on fire in so many ways for you

War (Should I Be So Surprised) 04:37
lyrics

Should I be so surprised You would make me feel this way Should I be so surprised You would make me feel this way I expected it I neglected it Now it all comes back to me A mark that penetrates Placed upon my skin Plain and clear for all to see And when it's over Will you bring this soldier home And take the world from off his shoulder And make you all he's ever known You are my War that I have fought so long for You are my War that I have fought so hard for Help me to identify Anything that separates Help me to identify Anything that separates I expected it I neglected it Now it all comes back to me And when it's over Will you bring this soldier home And take the world from off his shoulder And make you all he's ever known You are my War that I have fought so long for You are my War that I have fought so hard for You are my War that I have fought so long for You are my War that I have fought so hard for

Good Day 03:41

Today is a good day When it starts out like this When I wake up beside you When we kiss our first kiss And I could spend all day Just holding you in my arms I want to be with you now I'll be with you then I'll be with you tomorrow And have a good day again So long to sadness Hello to sunshine I've been waiting for you Feels like a lifetime No love like this Sounds so cliche It's like you were made just for me Today is a good day When it starts out like this When I wake up beside you When we kiss our first kiss And I could spend all day Just holding you in my arms I want to be with you now I'll be with you then I'll be with you tomorrow And have a good day again You are my first thought When I open my eyes I still can't believe it's you It blows my mind It's no surprise We were there all along Waiting for our turn Where we knew that we belonged

Stronger Than I 02:51
lyrics
buy track
Everyone is waiting for me To become someone In whom they can believe Mortal man living inside your line Drawn for me without my design Til' I become the hero of your dreams Is there no one stronger than me Stronger than I am So many people are waiting to impress Great deeds on others They publicly address But my reasons are for me & God alone Not to be noticed or broadly to be shown Still I'll become the hero of your dreams Is there no one stronger than me Stronger than I am Mortal man living inside your line Drawn for me without my design Til' I become the hero of your dreams Is there no one stronger than me Stronger than I am

One to Break 03:59
lyrics
buy track
I'd love to tell you I hear something the first time But you oughtta give me another go around Measure twice and the first cut is right I'm sorry we don't always see eye to eye That doesn't mean the worst is come I will call for you all in a little while At least those who are mine Hello I volunteer Can't I be the one this time to break We've both been waiting For good fortune to roll our way But I'm so tired of giving into sympathy When there's so much that we could just embrace I'm happy we kept pushing for a little more We can't just leave it up to fate It takes a strong resolution to realize Something big is on its way Change So I could see light in this darkness Before me, below So I could say Hello I volunteer Can't I be the one this time to break I'd love to tell you I hear something the first time Change So I could see light in this darkness Before me, below So I could say Hello I volunteer Can't I be the one this time to break

Dreaming 02:49
lyrics
buy track
Waiting by this telephone But no one's calling cuz everyone's over Waiting for my loneliness to fade Looking for places that I can hide In a room filled with people internally crying Wake me from this dream that I'm dreaming When I'm dreaming Holding on with bated breath Reality, when will you catch up to me I'm stuck in this moment that's hard to breathe And I'm waiting for a reason that I should leave But nothing's convincing enough for me To escape from this place where you led me be A thousand thoughts racing through my mind at once And I can't beat the traffic to go the distance Can you bring me to believe that I'm stuck in a dream I need to wake before I'm lost and become the unseen When I'm dreaming Holding on with bated breath Reality, when will you catch up to me

Who Knew Forever 02:59
lyrics
buy track
There’s a light that shines not far away To a path I’ve known would set the stage Bringing me ever closer to a dream I dreamed Where I become the light the light that beamed Where has the time gone I don’t know Maybe I left it where I met the one who knows Who knew forever was such a long time There’s the one I love not far away To get to her I spanned the seas Dividing me from space to space Where I became the water the water that takes shape Where has the time gone I don’t know Maybe I left it where I met the one who knows Who knew forever was such a long time

Everything 02:49

To drive the demons from you would I give Everything For you would I give Everything To what end do I live or die Under whose cause will my banner fly Where can I find those sheltered wings Providing some better thing To give my best for you would I give Everything For you would I give Everything To what end do I live or die Under whose cause will my banner fly Where can I find those sheltered wings Providing some better thing

How Could I 04:05
lyrics
buy track
Hold me now so I won't feel so insufficient to you dear Least of all to myself for harboring all these dreams in my bed For harboring all these dreams in my bed Bring me pain so I will remember how to fight to save you But most of all to save myself. To change and not to simply sleep through life To change and not to simply sleep through life Would I be everything that you would ever need How could I refuse any of the hope you've placed in me How could I How could I Show me love that brings me that hope for a tomorrow to come And not some idle fancy of my mind. A vapor that has blown and passed my way A vapor that has blown and passed my way Would I be everything that you would ever need How could I refuse any of the hope you've placed in me How could I How could I

about

Fans have been asking for Yellowtieguy songwriter Daniel W. HIll to release an acoustic album for a number of years, and this is the right season for it! On the heels of an acoustic tour comes a collection of songs from the band's release, "Joy in the Mourning", and songs from the upcoming album, "Joy in the Mourning"

Acoustic in April is a simple, straightforward album containing acoustic guitar and vocals, and very little editing. In fact, there are some very raw spots that were left because they embody the nature and spirit of the songs.
