“Love Will Come Around” Wins A Posi Award

My song Love Will Come Around (co-written with Lance Cowan) was awarded the “Obelisk of Love” in the category of Personal Transformation (or as I call it, Perpetual Confusion) at the EmPower Posi Music Awards in Orlando Sunday night, January 15. My “competitors” in this category are all fabulous artists / songwriters, and good friends: Jana Stanfield, Karen Taylor-Good, and Freebo. So I was shocked, astounded, and dumbfounded to win. But I confess, happy to accept.

Below are a couple of photos, the lyrics, plus a link at the bottom to hear the song.

This first photo is onstage, performing the song at the awards. I was delighted that the lovely and talented Lisa Firestone agreed to sing harmony with me. As another songwriter at the awards advised, “Greg, it never hurts to have a little eye candy on stage with you.” The way they lit the stage, however, makes Lisa look more like a Dream Angel than eye candy. No matter, she is definitely “ear candy” as well, and her harmonies were beautiful.

This next one is me babbling through some train wreck of an acceptance speech, while holding the “Obelisk of Love” like I don’t know whether to eat it or defend myself with it. (I have no idea what they actually call these. Maybe just the “Posi.” Or the “Posi Statue.” Or the “Posi Pointer.”)

Finally, Love Will Come Around is available on my CD, The Shootout at the I’m OK, You’re OK Corral, and is also available on the EmPower CD of all the nominated songs.

Love Will Come Around

LYRICS:

LOVE WILL COME AROUND
(Greg Tamblyn Lance Cowan)

Ain’t you built that wall
High enough by now
Something that high might fall
And hurt you when it comes down
It wont ease your pain filled heart
Building a wall to keep you apart

Chorus:
Give a little love
When there’s no love to be found
When you give a little of your heart away
Love will come around

People everywhere
Need a helping hand
Show them that you care
And there’s no wall that can stand
I know it’s hard when you don’t feel good
But that is the time when you really should

Chorus:
Give a little love
When there’s no love to be found
When you give a little of your heart away
Love will come around

Bridge:

Love is the only thing I’ve found
When you give it away it keeps coming back
around and around and around

Chorus:
Give a little love
When there’s no love to be found
When you give a little of your heart away
Love will come around
