'Cold Sunshine' by Nadia Cripps

Tonight's skirmish* on FAWM.ORG was "Random sentences from a random book:

"Pick up a book that happens to be somewhere nearby you, and open it to a random page. Use the first two or three sentences that jump out at you to inspire your song, whether it be instrumental or one with lyrics". As skirmishes are open to suggestions and interpretations, I've picked just one sentence for my inspiration.

The book I've opened was Michael Palin Diaries 1969-1979: The Python Years. On pg. 213 I found: "A rare day of sunshine - even tho' it was cold".

*From FAWM.ORG:
"What is a Skirmish?
A “Songskirmish” — or simply “Skirmish” for short — is a timed challenge in which participants each create their own piece, but they are all inspired by the same prompt.

A skirmish begins at a predetermined time when the prompt is released by the Skirmish host. The Skirmish lasts for approximately 60 minutes. At the end of this time, Skirmishers post their pieces to their song list and then share that link with the group in the designated forum. They are then encouraged to listen to or read the other participants' pieces and provide constructive and kind feedback."

**FAWM.ORG is a songwriting challenging site where songwriters are invited to create 14 songs during February. The numbers are just an idea and everyone is free to decide how many songs, lyrics, instrumentals they would like/able to create. During February some people prefer to create on their own, others to collaborate, often people create something on their own and collaborate on other works.
