LAUGHTER IN THE WIND

By Savannah GA Musician and Songwriter Charles Maring

Hey everyone,

I'm incredibly excited to share with you all my latest single, "Laughter in the Wind." This song holds a special place in my heart, and I can't wait for you to hear it. With its classic rock vibe, rich smoldering guitar leads, acoustic guitar rhythm, and hints of a Hammond B3 organ, piano, percussion, and drums, it has a timeless sound that resonates.

"Laughter in the Wind" is a story of friendship, lost and found. It’s about those moments when life pulls you and your friends in different directions, and yet, when you finally reconnect, it's as if no time has passed. It’s inspired by the countless times I've experienced this myself, and I’m sure many of you have too. Here’s a deeper look into the song through its lyrics and the story it tells.

Ohh My God

I keep praying for the day
The rain will go away and stop
Probably Not
Still, I don’t feel a thing
But I think about the pain a lot

Follow me on Spotify

My friend how long has it been

How long has it been
You know I often hear your laughter in the wind
How long has it been

Ohh My God

Follow me on Apple Music

The sun it never stays
But the blood in my veins red hot
So stop that clock
Let me hold onto you I need to feel your heartbeat rock

My friend how long has it been

How long has it been
You know I often can hear your laughter in the wind
How long has it been

Ohh My God

Ohh My God

It’s been way too long

And I’m sorry I never called you
My good friend we slipped away
But when we get together It feels like yesterday
Feels like yesterday

My friend how long has it been

How long has it been
You know I often hear your laughter in the wind
How long has it been

Ohh My God

I keep praying for the day
The rain will go away and stop
But Probably Not
Still I don’t feel a thing
But I think about the pain a lot

The opening lines, "Ohh My God, I keep praying for the day the rain will go away and stop, Probably Not," set the tone for the song. They speak to the struggles and challenges we all face, the metaphorical rain that seems never-ending. Yet, in the midst of it all, there’s a longing for that one connection that brings warmth and sunshine back into our lives.

Meeting an old friend after a long time can be an emotional experience. The lyrics, "My friend how long has it been, You know I often hear your laughter in the wind," capture that nostalgia perfectly. It’s amazing how the sound of someone’s laughter can transport you back to simpler, happier times. Sometimes there are people in our lives, even acquaintances, that are on the same frequency as ourselves. Old souls if you will, that you think about often yet reside in a distant city or place. Somehow you cross paths in random locations when traveling, and the conversations flow with meaningful snippets about art and life that you carry with you on your journey through time.

The second verse brings a powerful realization: "The sun it never stays, But the blood in my veins red hot, So stop that clock, Let me hold onto you, I need to feel your heartbeat rock." This part is about seizing the moment and cherishing the present, even when the world seems to be moving too fast.

As the song progresses, there’s an apology and a sense of regret, "It’s been way too long, And I’m sorry I never called you, My good friend we slipped away." It’s a heartfelt acknowledgment of the distance that time and life can create, but also an affirmation that true friendship withstands it all. "But when we get together, It feels like yesterday," emphasizes that no matter how much time has passed, the bond remains strong and familiar.

"Laughter in the Wind" is a journey through the ups and downs of life, the joy of reuniting with old friends, and the timeless nature of true friendship. It’s a reminder that despite everything, some connections are eternal.

I hope this song resonates with you as much as it does with me. Take a listen, share it with your friends, and let’s celebrate those irreplaceable connections together.

Rock on, Charles Maring
