OUR MISSION... American Music Abroad Virtual Kyrgyzstan: Students who are learning English in Kyrgyzstan and U.S. recording artists, Tony Memmel & His Band work together across the world on a large-scale songwriting project and "Capability within Disability" program.
We've never met outside of Zoom, but through amazing, modern technology, we've assembled dozens of recordings and videos from microphones and mobile phones to produce the project. This is what we created.
So much love to these amazing students who sparkle just like SUNLIGHT!
❤️ Tony Memmel
LYRICS:
SUNLIGHT
V1
There are hard days in this life
Good friends can help you through
When you sing right through the storm,
makes any sky look blue
Life is like a piece of cake
When you shine like a street light and give more than you take
CHORUS
So don’t be shy, enjoy your life
Each day’s a dance and a brand new chance - to show
Even on your darkest night,
You can sparkle just like sunlight
V2
When you dance, and smile, and jump
You’re speaking without sound
You’ve got your own gravity - Draws friends from all around
Twinkle, Twinkle you’re a star
Brightly guiding others who felt lost know who they are
BRIDGE
Turn up that beat, y’all hear this flow
Don’t let that sparkle fade, no no
Turn up that beat, y’all hear this flow
Don’t let that sparkle fade, no no
Y’all know me, I’m Tony with the Kyrgyz kydz
Teaching english but it’s more than this,
And I’d be remiss If I didn’t say that this rhyme’s about how to lead and live
To rise and shine with courage like…
"SUNLIGHT"
