One day will you find happiness? - This is a song about my long recovery from severe illness, the challenges that I’ve faced in life, and my eternal optimism for the future. - Written, Performed, Recorded, and Produced by Scott A. Gradert - Please note: this is a new release featuring new recording software, as well as new performances on guitar, bass, and drums. - Lyrics: - Someday Somehow - Don’t know why we sang so loud Sorry if we drew a crowd But I guess I should have known I made mistakes I refused to own - Oh why….. Did you ever let me go I can cry… But these tears will never show - Please tell me what I should do I’m sorry I disappointed you I never meant the things I said I guess the drinks just went to my head - Oh why….. Did you ever let me go I can cry… But these tears will never show - Someday somehow I’ll get better soon Someday somehow I believe I can change - I believe I can change - All I want is relevance Can someone give me just half a chance Is there a future for us to see Do you believe in eternity If you remember the days gone by We thought we lived in paradise - Oh why….. Did you ever let me go I can cry… But these tears will never show - Someday somehow I’ll get better soon Someday somehow I believe I can change - I believe I can change - Someday somehow We’ll get better soon Someday somehow I believe I can change - I believe We can change - I believe We can change - Scott A.

Life is all about learning. This song is dedicated to Ufuk Çelik (UFCEBABA). He is a Teacher. He is a Poet. He is a Bandleader. He is the most gifted musician I have ever worked with. And I am privileged to call him my dear friend and brother. - Over the past year we have collaborated together on numerous projects, and released countless songs through the amazing family of talented artists that work with him. They have taken the songs that I have written and turned them into musical magic. - These songs have created happy, wonderful musical memories for my family, and for my legacy that will last forever. - So in the spirit of Learning, I humbly dedicate this song. It is a completely new version that demonstrates everything I have learned from Ufuk in Music Performance, Songwriting, and Production. Thank You Ufuk! - Written, Performed, Recorded, and Produced by Scott A. Gradert. - Learn  Scott A. Gradert 2024 - You know you gotta learn to laugh Before you cry the blues You know you gotta play the game  Before the game plays you It tames you! - You know you gotta make the choice  Before the choice makes you  You know you gotta learn to win Because the win’s for you Don’t lose her! - Life is the ultimate game we play  With heartbreak along the way  We only learn from mistakes we make  We forgive from our hurt and hate  Nothing is easy The choice is yours  Play the Blues It’s the dues you gotta pay  - And in the end My Songs will Fly Like Lullabies in the sky - You know you gotta have a heart  Before your heart can break  You know you gotta live a life  Before a life you take  It takes some time Before time takes you - Life is the ultimate game we play  With heartbreak along the way  We only learn from mistakes we make We forgive from our hurt and hate Nothing is easy The choice is yours  Play the Blues, It’s the dues you gotta pay  - And in the end My Songs will Fly Like Lullabies in the sky Like Lullabies in the sky Like Lullabies in the sky - Play the Blues, It’s the dues you gotta pay  You gotta pay - more
