about

Acknowledging that not all band members are morning people, Michael offered up "Big Time in the Morning" as a counter to "Sun Call." "Big Time in the Morning" captures the essence of morning chaos in a house with young children. Parents of young kiddos, this is an anthem for you!

lyrics

chorus:
sunlight, comes the morning, comes the trial to survive
big time, in the morning, give me strength to stay alive
give me strength to stay alive.

phone is rattling at my bedside, please no not another day
somewhere there’s a hell for the ne’er-do-well who made us live this way. ohhh
i rebel against the snooze sound, i say no to conscious thought
a little voice squeaks, mommy, wake up please, i think i just threw up

chorus

kid number one comes down the stairway, she’s got venom in her teeth
when she hunts for prey, you don’t look her way
lest you wake the beast beneath. ohhh
kid number two is feeling better, he’s singing livin’ on a prayer
he’s shouting out his song, but he won’t live long
it’s death by sister’s glare

chorus

coffee, oh how much i love you, for all ills you are the cure
pour you in my mug, my hands give you a hug, platonic (pretty sure). ohhh
breakfast popped onto the table, homework stuffed into the bag
a panic and a fuss as the yellow of the bus comes like a pirate’s flag

Bold Riley Bridgton, Maine

Bold Riley started as a simple music project among friends in a barn in Norway, Maine and quickly gained momentum thanks to the group’s unbridled enthusiasm and commitment to bringing joyful acoustic folk music to the greater community. All members take turns singing lead, and songs range from classic protest folk favorites to unlikely covers to rousing originals. ... more
