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? © Stephanie Richards & Brian Arbuckle

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 Schubert 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 that you can’t measure Lick our fingers for a little taste Mmm-mmm-mmm... now anticipate How good it’ll be when it’s finaly 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 SOLO CHORUS 3 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 world is complete Love makes life so sweet Love makes life so sweet Love makes life so sweet ©2008 Stephanie Richards & Brian Arbuckle

You Know 03:11
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 © Stephanie Richards & Brian Arbuckle

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 © Stephanie Richards & Brian Arbuckle

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.
