Recorded back in April in Jim and Nicole's basement, a Song for April was written by friend, Joe Dimeck, as a gift to his girlfriend at the time. Jim turned it into a song as a favor. This is that song, recorded in one sitting, mixed, and sent to Joe in one night. It's simple, and some might say, sweet.
lyrics
You got this smile that shines so bright
Even a blind man could see in the light
And your eyes sparkle like a calm summer night
A sense about you that makes all the wrongs right
And I've been to Heaven
And down to El Dorado
And I've seen Atlantis
And Xanadu
Oh and nothing I found can compare to you
Oh nothing I found can compare to you
You got this warmth that can cure any cold
And melt glaciers over 1000 years old
And you got this rhythm in the way that you move
That connects a heart to its soul
And I've been to Heaven
And down to El Dorado
And I've seen Atlantis
And Xanadu
Oh and nothing I found can compare to you
Oh nothing I found can compare to you
