As you read this post, I hope that all is well with you despite all the difficulties that have arisen during this pandemic. ❤

As you know, I absolutely LOVE performing for others! Sharing the music I have written as well as sharing my covers of my favorite songs is such an amazing experience! ❤ Before the pandemic hit the U.S. hard, I had originally planned on returning to Hop Haus Brewing Co. at the end of July to perform another show.

Due to the pandemic, the show has been postponed. The updated details for the show are as follows:

Allison Merten at Hop Haus Brewing Co.
When? Thursday, October 22, 2020
Where? Hop Haus Brewing Co. (231 S Main St, Verona, Wisconsin 53593)
What Time? 7 PM – 9 PM CST
Admission? FREE!

I truly hope that the situation will be better in Wisconsin by that time for so many reasons. If the situation is better in October, I will be so grateful that I can have the opportunity to share my music with others. ❤ Music is such a powerful way to connect with others! ❤

This week, I wanted to share another uplifting song with you. ❤ (If you’d like to check out my earlier posts about songs that I hope bring you some joy during this  Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, please see “Don’t Worry Be Happy,” “Handwashing Songs,”“Everything’s Not Awesome,” “Quarantine Song,” “Reflection,” “Captain Planet Theme Song,” “Fix You,”  “5,000 Candles in the Wind,” “Orchestra Medley,”  What the Word Needs Now is Love,” “Ordinary Man,”“I’ll Take You There,” and “Catchy Song.”)

This week’s song is Johnny Nash’s 1972 “I Can See Clearly Now.”

Lyrics:

I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
It’s gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day

I think I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is that rainbow I’ve been praying for
It’s gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day

Look all around, there’s nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead, there’s nothing but blue skies

I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
It’s gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
It’s gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
Oh what a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day

This song feels like a warm hug. 😉  It always gives me hope when I hear it.

How do you feel when you hear this song?

No matter what challenges we are facing right now, we will get through this. ❤

Wishing you well! ❤
