"Suddenly" 03:59
Storm clouds moving over head I think the weather man was wrong It's pouring raining cats and dogs will I make it home to you? Traffic jams' not helpin' and I think the gas light is on Girl Id do it all again Just to make it home to you (cuz) *Suddenly my day is brighter when your around Suddenly im feeling lighter im floating off the ground with you Everything I do without you just seems the same to me the sky stays Blue and the grass stays Green It didnt take us long to see that we could do anything were free turn the radio loud so we can sing (that) *Suddenly my day is brighter when your around Suddenly im feeling lighter im floating off the ground with you.. **and Suddenly my day is better clearer weather and Finally there's something special with you girl here with you..

"Tonguetied" 04:16
The sunshine always seems brighter when the rains have stayed longer than 3 days and my dreams are harder to recall when they involve the meaning of it all But the words they come so plain trying to describe the things we cant explain places we cant see but when it comes to you your silly little grin and the special things you do i cant seem to find the words I get Toungetied trying to describe all the crazy times that ive had with you and i've spent days and nights only just to find i'm at a loss for words to say about you and the flowers don't bloom they never bloom too soon before the Fall takes them from us all and the birds still fly even though the sky turns from day to night they can always find the light but when it comes to you your silly little grin and the special things you do i cant seem to find the words I get Toungetied trying to describe all the crazy times that ive had with you and Ive spent days and nights only just to find i'm at a loss for words to say about you (2x)

"Blue Sky" 03:28
Look into my eyes what do you find inside of me? Stare into my soul I swear you'll find Blue Skies Give me one more chance chance to find the other side of You To open up the door to find who we really are on my way to find you on your way to find me Lost in 7 days in a haze don't know how to get out I just stare into the sky asking why but,why not? When im falling down there you are to help me up Forever let me overflow and spill over the sides of my cup on my way to find you on my way to find me We all change so don't you rearrange the stars in your sky and dont you ever wonder why when we fall down we never touch the ground?

Tears don't feel like they help anymore Days don't seem the same as they did before And the words I say just don't mean anything but I fall for you every time just the same *I cant get you out of my head I still got you in my heart I cant get you out of my head I just cant get over you The pictures on the wall I guess Ill throw away Cuz my phonecalls you wont answer to hear me say That I need you and I just cant walk away away from you girl my life it just wont be the same *I cant get you out of my head I still got you in my heart I cant get you out of my head I just cant get over you **And I don't feel right after a long day and nite without you by my side it just don't feel right *Chorus

I'm here on top of the world now staring down at you and you look so small and you know that all of the tears that you've cried wont bring me home but you still leave the light on If i could hold you now i would fly so high if i could hold you now i would die a thousand more times so tell me that you love me and let me see your face one look is all i need i see you through the window the moonlight on your face but im here and your there If i could hold you now i would fly so high if i could hold you now i would die a thousand more times If i could hold you now i would fly so high if i could hold you now i would die a thousand more.... Times at night that i spent with you in the dark the candle light in our eyes and your smile would paralyze my soul inside now i'm by your side telling you... If i could hold you now i would fly so high if i could hold you now i would die a thousand more times

"SemiSweet" 03:26
I'm swimming through a sea of faces to get to you but i'm drowning so fast so put me inside inside your pocket to spend the night so I could sleep to your heartbeat and sleeping outside well it's never seemed quite as nice than with you and damn it's starting to rain and when the tears they stream down your darling face I die inside cause angels should never cry And how Semisweet our lives sometimes can be to me but the candy coated kisses from you take it all away and dancing outside well it's never seemed quite as nice than with you and damn it's starting to rain

Pour it on and write it down cause pictures fade and words can change our lives can change So don't you fall Dizzy Girl the lights are down You take your bow but no ones around no one to be found Ill sleep on your porch until you come back home 200 degrees or in the freezing cold Ill sleep on your porch until you come back home until You're not alone So Pour it on and write it down cause our lives will change and every little thing gets in the way (and you don't know what there's left to say) So don't you fall Dizzy Girl the lights are down you take your bow but no ones around no one to be found Ill sleep on your porch until you come back home 200 degrees or in the freezing cold Ill sleep on your porch until you come back home until You're not alone You're not alone.

"Choices" 05:12
Im sorry but Im drinking Cause I cant stop thinking about how you chose to go the other way Money and Diamonds shouldn't come between us but you told that other fella OK But im not OK I don't like it this way and all i can say (is) Im in love with a girl whose in love with the world and im starting to see she don't love me anymore Baby I know about your choices before and how there's a chance that you might come back home Darling just see That im all that you need and the things that we see will soon fade away But im not OK I don't like it this way will she come home today? Im in love with a girl whose in love with the world and im starting to see she don't love me anymore and are you starting to see that im all that you need and this world it will leave you in pain and in grief you in pain and in grief Im in love with a girl whose in love with the world and she's starting to see that she's loves me even more

about

You can probably imagine the record-biz conversation going something like "Get me the next Dave Matthews or John Mayer, and lose the jazzy crap!" Even though that might be the kind of strategy employed in marketing Israel Gonzales to the masses, it seems unfair to accuse the Singer/Songwriter of cynically constructing his sound in such a manner. Sure, he's probably enamored with Matthews and Mayer; he even sounds earnest enough to admit it. But he seems to come by his approach honestly.

"Suddenly" showcases the kind of highly rhythmic acoustic guitar work and catchy melodies that has become a Israel Gonzales trademark. On "Tonguetied" he repeats "I get Tonguetied,trying to describe all the crazy times,that ive had with you..and Ive spent days and nights,only just to find..i'm at a loss for words to say about you.." displaying the kind of smart-quiet-kid aura that lies not only at the heart of his aesthetic but,of his appeal as well.

"Suddenly" is a collection of songs that Gonzales has written over the last few years. Songs of Hope,Love and Loss are what makes "Suddenly" a project worth lending an ear to..So..

Roll your windows down, turn the radio up and please enjoy "Suddenly"!
