If you ever want to get my
Attention just say
Things aren’t gonna work out
Exactly the way 
That everybody assumes
They will as a matte of course 
I think it’s good news
And I’ll listen with great force 

Don’t wanna be pollyanna
I’m mostly a pessimist
Don’t want everything to go wrong
And say ok I’m used to this
Don’t want to just up and say
Ok it could be worse
If you’re gonna count the blessings
I guess you gotta count the curse

Did somebody say hey
It’s all gonna be ok 
Did somebody shout tonight
It’s gonna be all right  

When the sun comes up again
I consider that a win
When I’m too exhausted
That’s right when I begin
To do the only thing
I’ve ever been able to do
You asked me what I gave up
Well I throw that back to you

Today the birds are out
A heat wave coming through
The city is electric
The city is a zoo
Show me all your bad news
I’m a tiny spec of dust
On a tiny ball of water
Spinning in the universe 



Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 9+ years.

Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.

You can see my most current song, as well as songs from year's past over at http://songaday.org
