about
Wanna Play? the debut release of Sunshine Collective, is the pairing of singer/songwriter Stephanie Richards and composer/songwriter/producer Brian Arbuckle. Unapologetically upbeat, feel-good and fresh, the music skips through a vocabulary from romantic classical arrangements, the charms and craft of American Song, and the pop sounds of the 60's and 70's - all wrapped up into a top down, "head sunward", 12-track road trip.
The 'Collective' part of the Sunshine features a bevy of outstanding musicians including multi-instrumentalist Dan Weinstein, who deftly moves from seductive summertime violin on Love Makes Life So Sweet (track 3) to tipsy trumpets and trombones of Dixieland on Mad About You, (track 10); Gin Blossoms' Jesse Valenzuela co-writes and jams in an acoustic four-on-the-floor This Day (track 8); and "Legs" Larry Smith of the Bonzo Dog Band narrates Love Makes Life So Sweet's reprise (track 12).
Prior to Sunshine Collective, Brian and Stephanie had an R&R CHR Pop Top 40 hit with Stephanie's debut single, Get Used To It, and have had songs placed in independent films, HBO, and most recently CBS Televisions' The Doctors. Brian's orchestral compositions can be heard on trailers and promos for the biggest networks and studios, including trailers for Benchwarmers, Catwoman, and Spider, as well as network promos for shows such as Cold Case, Big Band Theory and 60 Minutes.

I JUST WANNA PLAY
(Richards/Arbuckle)
CH
Oo oo oo
I just wanna play
Oo oo oo
I just wanna play
Verse 1
Baffled by simplicity
Waltzing through complexity
Finding that it’s fun to be
With you
Ooo, ooo
Open eyes to mystery
No loneliness, no misery
Nothing’s what’s supposed to be
Anyway
I just wanna
Chorus
Verse 2
Living lost in levity
I found it in a memory
Like an old friend
That’s true
Ooo, ooo
No love, no empathy
For time the only enemy
Oh, we’ll meet again
How about today
I just wanna
Chorus
I just wanna play
I just wanna play
I just wanna play
Bridge
Holding hands two happy kids
Dandelions make a wish
Close your eyes a perfect day
Come with me we'll fly away
Repeat Chorus
Wanna play?

LOVE MAKES LIFE SO SWEET
(Richards/Arbuckle)
VERSE 1
Come on over to my kitchen
I’ve got some lemonade for sippin’
The breeze is blowin’ and time is slowin’
And it would be such a shame if we didn’t
Make the most of the afternoon
I got something that we can do
While the bluebirds serenade Shubert
We can try our hands at chemistry
Give me a…
CHORUS 1
Half a cup of sugar
That’s all we’ll need
And just a touch of ginger
To turn up the heat
I see your smile
My favorite treat
Love makes life so sweet
VERSE 2
We don’t need to read a recipe
A pinch of this and that and we can see
What we get when we get together
The secret ingredient you can’t measure
Lick our fingers for a little taste
Mmm-mmm-mmm...anticipate
How good it’ll be when it’s fin’ly ready
Worth the wait and all the gettin’ hot and messy
CHORUS 2
Half a cup of sugar
Is all we’ll need
And just a touch of ginger
To turn up the heat
I see your smile
My world is complete
Love makes life so sweet

YOU KNOW
(Richards/Arbuckle)
Verse 1
Bumped and clumped the morning subway
It’s a drag and it’s not even Monday
8:00 a.m.
All over again
On the edge of desperation
The Stones, your ringtone
I get your new text
Satisfaction, a spring in my step
I think I blush
A little too much
Yeah, I can’t get enough
Chorus
You know
How to make me happy
That’s why
You’re my baby
Sunshine or rainy day
When you’re around
It’s all the same
Somehow
You figured me out
Now my
Heart beats out loud
You see all of the rainbows
Even when I don’t
Oh oh uh ah oh, yeah you know
Verse 2
Mixed up in all of the right ways
Mischief in your scruffly sweet face
Not the guy
My mother likes
But that one’s now in jail
Chorus
Bridge
Folk rock
Flip flops
Chocolate candy
You’re the one
Who understands me
Found your way
Through the maze
To the middle
Of my heart
Chorus

LA (Beautiful Day)
(Stephanie Richards & Brian Arbuckle)
Beautiful day
Not just the weather
We got it made
Doin’ whatever
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
Drinking it up
Nothing but sunshine
Can’t get enough
Havin’ a good time
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
Summer, Fall, Winter, or in the Spring
Any ol’ day and I just wanna sing
Beautiful day
Don’t try to save it
Cuz if you try
You’re gonna waste it
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
Boys and girls in love like the movies
Living in the sun and the 70s
Feels like a dreamland
So far away
I think I am
Gonna stay

V1
Blink and you’ll see
What it is
That could be
When you leave
All the blue
You’ve been saving
Perched on a tree
Little bird’s
Melody
Came the words
That now
I’m saying
PRE
Tick tock
Dizzy world keeps spin-ning ‘round
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
CH
Fun, fun, fun
Wherever we go
Run, run, run
Nobody’s gonna know
The secret
Keep it
Leave it
To us
One, one, one
One more time again
Fun, fun, fun
Oh, it’ll never end
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
V2
What can you hear
When you’re up
In the air
Floating high
Over
The under
Nothing as clear
As the cloud‘s
Souvenier
Let it leave
And let you
Wonder
PRE
Don't stop
Till we get lost and found
Turning like a merry go round
CH
Fun, fun, fun
Wherever we go
Run, run, run
Nobody’s gonna know
The secret
Keep it
Leave it
To us
One, one, one
One more time again
Fun, fun, fun
Never has to end
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
BR
Oh-oh-oh-oh
A new thought
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Old world
(In time) I see
What is meant to be
It's you and me
REPEAT CH
Fun, fun, fun
Wherever we go
Fun, fun, fun
Nobody’s gonna know
The secret
Keep it
Leave it
To us
One, one, one
Wonderful place to be
When it is just you and me

This Day
(Richards / Arbuckle / Valenzuela)
Verse 1
I wish God made the world more like the sky
I wish I could ask a bird how it feels to fly
I know there’s tomorrow but I don’t wanna wait
Chorus
This day where the sun is shining
This day where the whole world is smiling
Down on me, on me
Just like the whole world is at the end of my street
Just like this day was made just for me
I’ll race the sun to get to where I wanna go
I’ll ride these wheels as fast as a super hero
I know there’s tomorrow but I don’t wanna wait
Chorus
This day where the sun is shining
This day where the whole world is smiling
Down on me, on me
Bridge
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
This day with the sun shining
This day the world is smiling
This day, yeah, yeah, yeah
Chorus
This day where the sun is shining
This day where the whole world is smiling
Down on me, smiling down on me
This day, this day, this day....
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
This day, this day, this day

MAD ABOUT YOU
(Richards / Arbuckle)
Intro
I lost the key to my front door
But found the one to my heart
Right in your hands left where it has been
Since I heard the music start
Verse 1
Put some salt in my coffee
Sugar on my eggs
Tripped on my hat as I put on the cat
It’s the start of just one of those days
The kind that are all topsy turvy
But oh so tickety boo
Nothing looks bad even stripes with my plaid
Cause I’m mad about you
Refrain
Now I waltz instead of walk
I start to sing instead of talk
Every raindrop is a diamond
I’ll put away my suitcase
Cuz there’s not another place
Delightful the state that I’m in
Verse 2
I feel like I’m singing the birds’ song
I hope they don’t mind if I do
Tweetly-dee, tweetily-doo
Yes, I’m mad about you
Solo
The doc said it’s no kind of fever
So what is a girl gonna do
Tweedle-ee-dee, tweedle-ee-doo
Yes, I’m mad about you
Refrain
If I could just bottle this
I’d be a millionairess
And everyone would wear a smile
You could hear the beating hearts
Louder than the beeping cars
And X and O’s would be in style
Verse 3
The weatherman says mostly cloudy
But I can see nothing but blue
The world's on my plate and dinner’s at 8
Oh, I’m mad about you
solo
Tweedle-ee-dee, tweedle-ee-doo
Yes, I’m mad about you

TOGETHER
(Richards / Arbuckle)
V1
“Gotta get outta my head”
She said like a flower child
Tell me your real name, Sunshine
She laughs, he loves her smile
Everybody wants their freedom
Everybody needs some love
Too good was time for leaving
But it’s too late for that she’s got something’ to say
CHORUS
It feels better this way
Together we make
What everybody wants
I see the signs of the change
Been waiting for this day
For so long
The bad’s not so bad
And the good’s even better
When we get together
V2
He finds a quarter on third street
And takes it as a sign
Someone’s been waiting for someone
To believe and make it shine
Everybody wants some freedom
Everybody needs some love
Parts the clouds and sees right through them
As he climbs to the top of the world and he sings out loud
CHORUS
It feels better this way
Together we make
What everybody wants
I see the signs of the change
Been waiting for this day
For so long
The bad’s not so bad
And the good’s even better
When we get together
BR
hand in hand
woman man
Across every land and every ocean
Yes we can
CHORUS
It feels better this way
Together we make
What everybody wants
I fee the signs of the change
Been waiting for this day
For so long
Bad’s not so bad
The good’s even better
When we get together
When we get together
When we get together
When we get together.... - Track Name: Love Makes Life So Sweet Reprise

Love Makes Life So Sweet Reprise
(Richards / Arbuckle)
When your mind goes sour
Lost in thoughts of your final hour
Soon you'll awake, and soon you'll see
all the bitterness will retreat
because love makes life so sweet
