about

Tim, my writing partner, got up one morning with these lyrics in his head. I especially like the pre-choruses - Wanna worry like a weed and that means not much at all. Hope you enjoy it!

lyrics

Stop Tryin’ So Hard

I wanna run like a rabbit
Wanna sleep like a cat
I wanna bray like a mule
Wanna fly like a bat

Wanna think like a flower and that means not much at all
Just let it happen and then I’ll have it all


CHORUS:
Stop tryin’ so hard
Stop tryin’ so hard
Stop tryin’ so hard
It’ll come to me


I wanna swing like a monkey
Wanna smile like a dog
I wanna swim like an otter
Wanna eat like a hog

I wanna worry like a weed and that means not much at all
Just let it happen and then I’ll have it all

CHORUS:2x
Stop tryin’so hard
Stop tryin’so hard
Stop tryin’so hard
It’ll come to me


I wanna roar like a lion
Wanna yawn like a horse
I wanna float like a hippo
Wanna last like a tortoise

I wanna cry like an oak and that means not much at all
Just let it happen and then I’ll have it all

CHORUS:4x
Stop tryin’so hard
Stop tryin’so hard
Stop tryin’so hard
It’ll come to me
It’ll come to me, I’ll have it all, it’ll come to me, I’ll have it all

about

Dawnya Clarine Sandpoint

Clarine’s songs are beautifully crafted, her production tastefully understated, and her singing so heartbreakingly pure as to suggest she knows your secrets and your soul.

Elements of jazz, blues, soul and reggae are woven together under Dawnya’s smooth, sultry voice.

Think Jason Mraz meets Norah Jones with a Ruthie Foster kick.
